I want to weep. This org is what was Sexplain. Widely recommended and used by pshe and rse teachers.

That is absolutely awful.

That’s hideous. For fuck’s sake; this ideology is so frightening.

I would absolutely complain. There is hardly a word of truth in that entire diatribe of shit.

I have read this today as well. It is a truly dreadful article. Full of lies that children will apparently be taught as fact. It describes surgery where a “penis is made into a vagina.” as a “really cool medical procedure”.

If you scroll to the end there is a big list of organisations that endorse this shit (or seem to) on the About page.

Worth writing to them? Particularly if it comes from parents.

So loads of factual errors and libellous to two living women?

No sane teacher would use that as a resource. It has poor SPAG for one thing, let alone the rest of it being too biased.
Schools receive stuff like this tarted up as PSHCE resources in bucketfuls every day. It tends to be deleted/binned.

I've had this org recommended to me by fellow pshe teachers many times Harriet, so some teachers are definitely using them

What a load of utter fucking gibberish. And lies.

I might start using the expression “people with penises who identify as men” or PWPWIAM see if it catches on.

There's a lot of really rubbish arguments and false equivalents in that.
Feminism repeatedly misrepresented. I'd be pretty pissed off if this was teaching material in DD's school.

Intersex is not an identity or proof that intermediate sexes exist ffs.

Its like a bingo card;

Because Intersex

We're not saying sex isn't real, we're saying its a 'construct'

Assigned at birth

TWAW

Super affirming

Women are more dangerous that transwomen

BLM so stop talking about periods... or something like that

Is there anything accurate in that article? I was cringing with embarrassment for the writer the whole way through.

That would definitely be against DFE guidelines so I hope everyone challenges its use.

That is a dreadful piece of writing on every single level.

I knew it. When they call us CIS they mean NOT TRANS, as if Trans is the default. Awful article. What sane adults could find it acceptable?!

So much bullshit. Genuinely shocked by the massive, obvious logical holes all over it. They must think their audience have a very low IQ. I think even if I read that as an impressionable teen I'd have struggled to go along with that.

Interesting who they partner with.

Girl guides for one

And yes libellous maybe to Joanne Rowling

Agree with PP, I’m embarrassed for the author. Such shockingly poor grasp of the English language. And reality. And truth.

The only endorsement from a uni about their erm education workshop was from Edinburgh students

Jeez my country and my universities 😞🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

That makes me furious. It’s just appalling. It sounds petty but the use of inverted commas made me homicidal “feminists” etc.

It is vile, manipulative, dangerous 1984 speak.

Libellous to JKR, there’s a list.. starting with that book wasn’t about a cross dresser..libellous to Maya; for instance there were no trans people employed at that think tank!

Send a copy to Liz Truss.
