I'm sorry you can't coherently follow a conversation.

I'm perfectly able to, thank you.

You specifically said voting against people's rights, not specifying you still meant only housing and employment.

You need to tighten your prose.

Have you heard of 'Transgender Trend'? A group of professionals who work with children, either as teachers, other professionals, or parents - who produce alternative teaching resources to those produced by the activist organisations.

My daughter handed the headteacher of my granddaughter's school their pack - because until the episode mentioned above - she had not come across this before.

You've really never heard of this Empress?

Maybe have a read of this thread (from a teacher) detailing the countless ways activist teachers in some schools are supporting transitioning children:

And the NEU attempting to undermine safeguarding children in schools?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/05/union-against-schools-telling-parents-child-changes-gender/

It's great if your school has no truck with this nonsense - I know of a number of schools where Heads have successfully kept Stonewall & other trans lobby groups outside the gates. And I know of others where activist teachers have been allowed to dictate policy - to the detriment of children.

We have no truck with this. Big academy trust.
Nor the other 2 I am in regular contact with.
Parents on here should definitely inform themselves of the PSHE content of their school because they may believe these claims about all or most schools.

Yes, they are. Two of mine have, indeed, been taught this year in their schools (at y6 and y9) that there are multiple genders.
Not to mention at senior school Pride club (which DD says is mainly filled by autistic kids) where they are told by senior pupils - but supervised by a teacher - that anything said is not to be repeated out of pride club. So the kids out themselves as trans and socially transition at pride club and are told not to tell anyone. These kids are generally ND. It’s shocking. And yes of course I have contacted the school multiple times and they have yet to answer.
It is absolutely happening in schools, even since the Cass report and despite guidelines. It is naive to think that the guidelines are being respected.
edited to correct a typo

That's good to hear.
As well as the PSHE curriculum parents need to check for schools being signed up to Stonewall (who lobby for the removal of single sex spaces, sport and promote the transitioning of children in schools). LGBT clubs that are mixed age, breach countless safeguarding principles and open up older children and staff to allegations of grooming. Equality policies that misrepresent the protected characteristics.

I am not naïve. I am questioning how widespread this is and whether what is happening is as claimed.
I prefer to use evidence. I do intend to look further into this, as it's not my experience and we have firm guidelines. I will however check some of these details.
Excuse my scepticism on the matter, but I've read too many threads on identifying as cats and other nonsense.

You think men are going to take over breastfeeding and menopause groups?
You think despite the Cass Report doctors are going to start treating teenagers with surgery and puberty blockers again? I don't think there is any evidence this will happen at all.

What rights are Labour removing from women fluffy? Specifically....

Quite - thank you

I've read the Labour Manifesto, read the details from my Labour MP, listened to Keir's press conference and can't detect any suggestion of the removal of women's rights.

Ah ok fair enough. Brave of people to run when they aren't expecting many votes though, whatever their beliefs

Isn't the whole point of pride to be proud and not hide who you are?

It must be widespread enough for dc here to be know about gender ideology

In two different schools

See what Labour have done in their first day in office.

But of course they are going to "take away womens rights"

So much scaremongering

The use of puberty blockers has been halted in Scotland.

Our government chose a nice, quiet news day to slip out the announcement that they'll be implementing the recommendations of the #CassReview.

But it doesn't happen. One person KNOWS that it doesn't happen in ANY school in the country because it doesn't happen in theirs. 🙄

I don't think it does. I think that it is one issue of many that people had to decide on

Well, like I said, how widespread and what form these things take are debatable.
I've had parents contacting me - genuinely concerned - they listened to false information about our school and practice. On a couple of occasions, a misunderstanding was to do with language usage. I'd rather they spoke to us than say, the Daily Mail.
I would encourage parents to do as suggested and ensure that they understand the curriculum, particularly PSHE. This will normally be on the Learning Platform of the school website.

I speak to my dc. What they understand of gender ideology is from teaching at their schools.

Nothing to do with the press. They only know about it from classes

You realise this is the board for women’s rights? So posters are likely to be in favour of women who stand up for women? Not exactly surprising.

The usual suspects here to shut the women up.

What was the response when you contacted the Head of PSHE and the Headteacher?

Thanks and congratulations to all who stood for PoW xxx

I teach in a school.

I have been given resources to deliver.

I have had meetings with our safeguarding lead about how it's not compliant with our guidelines. I got it changed.

I have sat in an assembly when the assistant head told all of yr10 that transwomen threw the first brick at Stonewall.

I see all the kids - and a few staff - wanting to change pronouns and spouting Stonewall ideology as fact.

I have a family member who is detransitioning - after having his penis and testicles removed.

Don't tell me it's not happening.
