Really excellent letter, and I do believe that 14 year olds wrote it.
The only thing that jarred was the suggestion that boys could use the disabled toilets if they felt uncomfortable in the male toilets. Disabled people are sick of shit like this.

Kinda like Enid Blighton reimagined by JKR for 2023.

Trigger warnings preface by Dylan Mulvaney and Katie Montgomery.

Tweets in favour of the book by well known personalities leads to them recanting a day later.

That's a great letter! And good to see them calling out the complete absence of any consultation with young women and girls about whether they consent to toilet sharing with boys (let alobne changing rooms, dormitories & showers). There was a time when "pupil voice", school councils etc were considered to be important.
Much of it now abandoned in order to get Stonewall points for being a diversity champion & contributing to schools becoming a more hostile environment for girls.

I must have watched Python episodes dozens of times since the early 70s, incl the films.

It was a badge of honour to love them.

Even as I laughed myself stupid as a teen and older, unwrapping layers of satire and anti establishment bombast, I always had a nagging anxiety.

Of a surreal world that felt hugely alien, especially any feeling it could happen.

And so much of it has come to pass, a world so riven with anti science and contradiction, embedded in a culture that is hugely buracratic.

John Cleese is the only one of the surviving team, with occasional outbursts from Terry Gilliam, that is unrepentant in pointing out the cul de sac we're going down societally.

Python is looking less an out and out satire, and more and more a warning for the future.

Just watch Life Of Brian, and tell me that isn't an accurate prediction from four decades earlier.

Haha, typical for me to mistake something, and then keep digging, lol.

With Enid B being not exactly "progessive" on race etc, trigger warnings would absolutely be the order of the day on a gender critical tome.

Good luck to the girls.

That letter is so shocking. Well done girls for standing up for yourselves and your friends / classmates but the fact they have had to shows the abject failure of the adults in positions of responsibility to adequately safeguard girls.
