Sex Matters and Transgender Trend have published new guidance on the Equality Act for schools in England.

This is a great idea. To easily share with your kids' schools...

Great idea

That's a very comprehensive overview. Hopefully it will give schools the confidence to resist the extreme demands made by the adult lobby groups seeking to influence what happens to children.

Please share as widely as possible!

Nice. Thank you. I'm dealing with this at DS' secondary school at the moment so that's helpful.

That's a really good guide shall send to my school.

Excellent guidance, and easy to send.

Excellent, clearly written, sympathetic to the issues but setting out the legal knowledge that schools need so that they can back up their decisions when they are faced with those who put feelings above facts.

I hope all the schools who proudly display their Stonewall Brainwash logo will be sent copies.

Point 5.2 - name and pronoun changes

makes a really good point regarding not informing parents of name and pronoun changes at school (their bold):

Not applying the normal standard of safeguarding to children who identify as trans is discrimination because of gender reassignment.

Thank you - the guide looks really good. Have sent it to our schools.

Done! Only last week another parent told me the school had changed a 12 year old student's name and pronouns without speaking to their parents. The Stonewalling in schools will take a while to undo.

Brilliant. DD's school hasn't done anything too bonkers yet, but I have book marked the link just in case.

Bumping this - over 50 sent to schools so far - I am sure we can increase this significantly!

Great ! Will send dcs school

Up to 58 now! Really easy to do. You just need the name of headteacher and email address at the ready.

Great!
Thanks everyone.
Keep sharing

Thank you to the groups doing this. It seems that there have already been so many schools affected by misinterpretation of the Equality act, as seen here on various boards and threads. Why should we have to fight this dangerous ideology school by school? But we do.

Hope a parent sends it to where I work
