[OhBuggerandArse]

This piece he's written explaining his decision seems clear and decisive - if only his counterparts in Scotland would have the courage to follow suit.

This is great news. They also need to remove or amend the transgender modules that is taught to schools as part of the RSE curriculum. The information on the CCEA website is frightening.

Brilliant news

He’s very clear. Interesting dig at the ECNI’s approach!

This bit is especially great ...

But policy in this area must reflect what is in the best interest of all children and not be driven by what is politically fashionable.

Thank goodness a sensible voice has entered the chat.

If only he were Welsh. 😠

Just listened to Fiona from Sex Matters on a clip from Stephen Nolan. It’s on the SM YouTube channel. She was great as always. Stephen was talking guff about “but if you think you have been born in the wrong body” and ‘Alexa’ was as typically male as I was expecting from the introduction.

The clip includes a listener who called in who was all #bekind but didn’t agree with males in female sport but for some incredulous reason didn’t see any issue with toilets and changing rooms in schools.

Love it, someone with a spine and sense. We need more of this!
