Stop the implementation and issuing of transphobic guidance in and to schools.
I want guidance that the government will issue to schools in the near future which includes outing of children to parents against of wishes, condoning of deliberate misgendering, and a parental veto of social transitioning not to go ahead.
People who identify as transgender or non binary are among the most discriminated against in the UK. This guidance has the potential to put them in situations where their physical and/or mental health is at risk, which, in the case of mental health especially, is statistically higher, with available data on mental health problems and suicidality very strongly suggesting a higher rate among those who identify as transgender and non binary.
