Scotland Schools gender

[scepticalandcynical]

Hi, Looking for Mums in Scotland ( cross posted thread)

I'm a Mum of a son who has a trans identity and after many conversations and attending conferences around "gender medicine", listening to all sides of the argument. I'm not buying it. He's likely autistic, history of bullying, his school was an LGBTQIA+ "charter" body and he's had bad contacts online - he's not gay. While trans adults exist, there is always a back story and I'm really concerned at the way this is being taught in schools. I and another Mum are looking to set up a Scottish organisation to help every school in Scotland with better guidance on gender and sex ed. Scottish schools can still socially transition kids in Scotland without parental consent or even informing parents Are there any other Mums on here who are concerned and could help?

You might want to look at Scotpag:

https://www.scotpag.com

They are active on gender stuff in schools. Maybe more from a professional than a parental point of view. Still worth checking out.

OP I'm not axmum in Scotland but, coincidentally, I came across this article which should interest you

I would be happy to hear more about this; my little boy is non verbal, severely autistic, still in primary school but I worry so much about all the nonsense the government still feeds into our schools in Scotland. Beggars belief. LGBTYS still going strong despite all the scandals. Still getting funding. It's mad.

Thank you for posting. Yes I know ScotPag well and collaborate but we need a parents group driving from the ground up https://x.com/ScotPAG/status/2029860010147144168?s=20

Thank you. Autistic children are more at risk of accepting what they are told and we discussed this at Holyrood on Thursday. I'm unsure of the protocols on Mumsnet for contact but you can find me at https://thethinkingmum.substack.com/

Thanks, Yes, I have been behind a number of FOI with ScotGov which helped underpin that discussion Guidance for schools on transgender pupils queries: FOI release - gov.scot. No health or developmental psychologists or independent oversight was taken. Purely activists including LGBT Youth Scotland. Run this through any A and ask why safeguarding could be an issue 2026csoh6-jwe-against-lgbt-youth-scotland.pdf
