A separate <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/npXrs/www.telegraph.co.uk/family/life/ze-guide-modern-gender-pronouns/" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">“gender neutral language guide” prepared for staff at another Scottish school, Wick High in Caithness, tells staff not to use terms such as mother, brother or sister to avoid upsetting pupils who identify as trans.
Children treated like hand grenades: don't upset them with the truth in case they explode with upsetting feelings. Do whole schools remove the words 'run', 'throw', 'walk upstairs', 'play sport', 'jump', 'hop' (and on ad infinitum) in case they upset the disabled child in the wheelchair or using crutches? Why are trans children more precious and in need of greater protection than other minority groups of children? Why are we creating this sacred caste of children who must be pandered to?

It’s unspeakably grim.
Having said that, this from Wings genuinely made me laugh out loud: https://mobile.twitter.com/WingsScotland/status/1638972936638853132

This is similar to my daughter’s Year Head telling me we needed to respect her asexual identity when she was THIRTEEN. My view was that not having yet developed sexual feelings at 13 was completely normal and not a flipping identity. To view it as such was to put very adult beliefs onto a young adolescent.
I raised that at every level within the school right up to the very top and each time was just stared at like I had two heads. No one saw anything wrong with what I’d been told.
Particularly in Scotland, we have lost our collective minds.

Knew it would be Boroughmuir, although tbf they're probably all at it, ffs. All those awards and bleating about how great they are and they can't even get the basics right. Also surely 'queer' becomes (even more) meaningless if it can basically be applied to almost everyone?
