This is in The Times and also has been picked up by the Mail. The latter states you can check if your school has been sent what sounds like unscientific nonsense.
We must push back on this. If children are abused and they cannot be clear with anyone - including the police - that they tell which sex the abuser actually was eg because of features of the abuse, then abusers will get away with it. They have to be able to know which body parts belong to which sex.
And that's before you get to the damage we know is being done to mostly young lesbians, being encouraged to become unanchored from their sexed bodies. Helped along no doubt by lies like this. And it is lies to tell children they're "assigned at birth".

"What Does LGBT+ Mean? was published in October and is described as an educational book for children aged between 8 and 11 and written to be easy to use in the classroom. Its author is Olly Pike, director of the LGBT+ educational resource Pop’n’Olly; Mel Lane, a diversity campaigner; and her son, James Canning.
The book claims “people feel happier and included when their pronouns are respected” and includes definitions of those who identify as transgender, non-binary and intersex. On pronouns, it adds: “We can’t just assume pronouns. If you are not sure about another person’s pronouns, it is OK to politely ask.”
The book features all the LGBT+ flags, as well as suggested activities for pupils to try in school."

"On its website, the non-fiction book which was first published in October is described as being aimed at children aged eight to 11, upper KS2 and lower KS3 pupils.
'This book explores identity, assigned sex, gender, love, sexuality, discrimination, privilege, allyship, pride and more,' the website says.
'This is going to be a book that will make a big difference in the lives of countless young people.'
Helen Joyce from advocacy group Sex Matters said that nobody is 'assigned' a sex: 'I've given birth twice and both times I knew what sex the baby was at 20 weeks. It's just absurd,' she told The Times.
'How did we get to a place where teachers feel they can sit and say to some primary children, "Some people feel male, some feel female, some feel both and some feel neither"?'
Pop'n'Olly is also encouraging people to donate the LGBT+ book to primary schools across the UK and are offering a two-for-one deal on the donations.
You can even search for a primary school on their 'school finder' feature which lets you check if it has been sent a book already."
