Mixed sex changing rooms in a Brighton secondary school - part 3 - we're really cooking now

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

Hello friends.

I'll let the press do the talking...

https://www.gbnews.com/news/trans-school-court-changing-rooms

I find it utterly utterly bizarre and frankly scary that in Brighton schools and council there are so many cheerleaders for forcing unconsenting teenage girls to share changing rooms and toilets with people with penises (using their type of terminology).

It's like a dystopian nightmare. I feel like I'm going to wake up any second, goodness knows how the OP must feel with the year he's experienced of obfuscation, evasion, word salad and downright lies.

What's the point of safeguarding law and KCSIE if this is something adults in schools can do? Really - what is the point? It's all meaningless paper if this can happen. They're committing emotional abuse of the girls by coercion and gaslighting on top of the actual risks they're exposing them to and the breaking of several laws.

What next, offering up girls bodies as comfort blankets for sad boys? Oh wait.... this is actually already quite close to that....

And to be clear, no girl can consent to this. It's against the law, they are underage and any parent who consents is abusive because the risk of sexual assault is far far higher in mixed sex spaces and that's before you get to dignity, privacy etc.

Well done OP for standing up for your daughter's human rights.

💯

A 15 yr old schoolgirl doesn't need to " understand the complexity of an argument" to feel deeply uncomfortable and compromised, and at the same time scared to report this distress to the responsible adults around her.

OP, I know Whitehawk estate very well having taught at a school there once. I'm sure the mainly working class people who live there wouldn't have any time for this ideology.

As the school cannot be identified, I don't think that is the only area of Brighton where there would not be time for this. Indeed, I expect that the 'woo' parts of Brighton and Hove are less than many would expect if they never visited the area.

Indeed @LlynTegid and @YourAmplePlumPoster
the residents of Moulscombe and Bevendean also have very little truck for this nonsense

Absolutely, I was just remarking on the weird double standards.

Brighton's image is a charade kept going by the council for many many years to get more tourists. it works. but the opinions here are not so different from elsewhere. Hastings is only next door after all...

Some local press with more details

Thanks for the link, it all looks very encouraging, a summery of the situation -

At the centre of the case lies a genuine legal collision, not between law and prejudice, but between two protected frameworks: the rights of female pupils to privacy, dignity, and sex-based protections, and the rights of gender-questioning pupils to non-discrimination and inclusion.
What distinguishes this case is the setting. Unlike workplaces or voluntary environments, school attendance is compulsory, pupils are minors, and changing rooms involve inherent physical vulnerability. The courts are therefore being asked not whether inclusion is desirable, but how far it may lawfully extend when it conflicts with safeguarding obligations grounded in statute.

I'm not sure I'd characterise it as 'gender-questioning' as more gender changing, if they were just questioning it the school wouldn't be insisting that males could go into female changing rooms. But I expect I'm being picky.

Good on you both! Wishing you well

I've said it before, SSSIS, you and your daughter are amazing. Thank you to the both of you for your sheer tenacity and courage. I'm so sorry your daughter's having to go through this, but she should know what a difference she's making to women and girls everywhere.

I screenshotted this - and more - and sent them to my daughter.

it’s made a real difference. She is so worried about people finding out about this.

I am divorced. her mother did not know. And she is very much TWAW.

due to the court case. Her mother does now know. So the cost to my daughter in having to have that fight and that huge stress in her other home, is real.

to everyone who has left a supportive message here, just know she has read every single one and it has made a difference to her. A huge one.

I left the wrong link…

Dear SSSIS DD

You are incredibly brave. I, as a fully grown woman, appreciate how brave you are. It has been so hard to speak out and be heard on this, and here you are doing just that.

Thank you. Take care of yourself. And know that there are so so many of us behind you,. It's the girls that get overlooked, but also their voices can be the most powerful. You are the powerful.

Best wishes to you and your family xxx

@SingleSexSpacesInSchools Great that you have got some traction. I am troubled about what you told us about her mum. She is likely to find out at some point.

I am shocked if she does not support her daughters discomfort.

And I'm so fucking angry that I feel I need to send a young girl a positive message so that she is supported in not feeling she has to accept a male in her space at fucking SCHOOL!! Wtaf!

(SSSIS your DD is a legend)

Also screenshotted and shared. She said “Yaaayyy”

Might be a flying leap but sounds like the ex came on here !!!!!!!

I am pleased to read that you have shared the messages with your DD, OP.

Pity that Suella Braverman has chosen to make a political issue of it, given that for many years she supported a Prime Minister who did nothing to help the safety of girls and young women in schools and elsewhere. It should not have needed the Supreme Court to stand up for women and girls, it should have happened at least five if not more years ago.
