It's for teaching the equality act in schools.

It appears to do so through already published books, so for example, Elmer (we are all different.) My son's school is using it as a part of an LEA initiative in diversity, mainly to combat extremism and racism.

However the blurb doesn't include sex as a protected characteristic (just gender) and does mention transgender being covered.

There are additional resources / lessons on the author's website, as it seems some if the books are out of print? and I did not like the outline of these. Both books are questionable according to Amazon in that they appear to teach gender stereotypes and that you can change sex.

I'm sure the material for everything else is fantastic, I like the idea of using stories, it's just I'd just like to know more about how the book/ pack explain gender and sex and what they're teaching about this. Other resources I know of are clearer about sex and gender being different.

It's probably sloppy research or naivety (let's face it if you read the Guardian and follow the bbc you probably produce material like this) but if anyone has had experience of it I'd love to know more before I contact the author.

I've name changed, bit worried about posting here but also rather taken aback.

Talking of genderism in schools, there's been a backlash in Coventry.

You can vote: Should the trans toolkit booklets be removed from schools?

84% yes so far.
