As a parent of a trans child, let me be clear, the only person who will make decisions on my child’s transition is my child. Not the government or teachers. As a director of a church practicing conversion therapy, we see through your desperate need to hurt those who are trans.
The so-called ‘gender guidance’ for schools will only succeed if it meets two tests:
1. Does it shift the burden for making complex legal and medical decisions about ‘transitioning’ children away from schools and teachers and onto the Department for Education? 1/1
