If you feel concerned about references to ‘gender identity* in schools, you may be interested in signing this
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/618970

For better understanding of why it may be a cause for concern, here is an excerpt from what the LGBA says by way of explanation:

Gender identity is not recognised in UK law, although some groups wrongly suggest that it is. In our view, it is best described as a minority belief, which might perhaps be mentioned to older children along with religious beliefs. It should certainly not be taught as if it were factual. The logical conclusion of having a “gender identity” which differs from biological sex is that it is possible to be “born in the wrong body”. We reject this notion, and believe it to be confusing and potentially harmful to children, especially those who may be struggling with any number of health, social or family issues.

The petition is currently closed as part of the govt shutdown during the mourning period. Will sign as soon as things reopen.

It’s at around 4500 signatures and will be open until January 2023 for more.

@ChristinaXYZ maybe drop a link into the MM / LGBA tribunal threads?

It is a shame this was somehow not picking up enough signatures. I hope it can gain more momentum. Well done to ChristinaXYZ for starting it.

Are people missing the implications of schools teaching this ideology?

That’s a good idea ShanPie.

Sorry, ShangPie
