very important episode.

Shelley is right, the DFE are dragging their feet, shamefully.

im personally fucking furious. Because I can see projects around me that are not following the guidelines and are furthering the harm of gender ideology. Not to mention the unions and activist teachers.

A mother describes the hell of finding out the school had been socially transitioning her daughter.

I would strongly suggest all parents check school policies on websites. These things can be hidden in equity and equality policies, anti bullying policies and RSE policies.

We need a few court cases asap to make teachers aware of the consequences of their actions.

Just listened-quite an eye opener as someone who retired from education several years ago. This was seeping in around 2013 ish especially girls who were anxious being pushed towards CAHMs and then identifying as male.

@BlueLegumeits been completely normalised in most schools.

a vague mention of the Cass review in KCSiE is not going to register in any way with many teachers or senior leaders.

there will be some headteachers (admittedly only some) now who were newly qualified teachers around 2014 - 2016 when it really started to gain traction.

other members of slt will have certainly only trained in the mid 2010s

As they say in the episode, this needs firm direction from the top and asap.
