Schools and teachers take note – stop 'transsing' our kids!
Our schools are promoting an ideology which is harming our children’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. It claims that some children are ‘born in the wrong body’ and can ‘change sex’. This is a misleading and dangerous lie.
There are only two sexes: male and female
No child is born in the wrong body
It is impossible to physically change sex
Sex and gender are not the same thing
It is illegal for schools to promote any ideology
Schools should not automatically affirm a child who says he or she is the opposite sex
Schools should always contact the parents of any child who says he or she wants to change sex
Social transition to the opposite sex can be harmful psychologically for any child
Puberty resolves anxieties for nearly all children who are gender questioning
The idea of ‘trans’ is a twenty-first century invention!The Scottish government must withdraw their guidance on ‘transgender’ pupils in schools!

Stop 'transsing' our kids! Tips for parents with gender ideology concerns
As a parent, you have the right and responsibility to ensure that your child is fully safeguarded while engaging in education. It is the view of various professionals, including psychologists and therapists, that the current promotion of gender ideology in many schools is confusing and is potentially psychologically harmful to young children and teenagers.
Here are some issues to raise and things to check with your child’s school.
Tell the school that there is no obligation to follow the Scottish government’s guidance, Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools.* Much better guidance, Boys and Girls and the Equality Act, has been produced by the organisations Sex Matters and Transgender Trend (with input from lawyers and teachers).
Check that the school understands that it is impossible for children (or indeed any human) to change sex.
Check with the school that the toilets and changing rooms are single sex only and will remain so.
Ask if there is an awareness in school about the fact that the term ‘trans’ has been invented by activists and not by child development experts.
Check if the school uses the services of an LGBTQ youth group. If the school does, request that this contact is terminated.**
Ask the school for a copy of its protocol for managing its response when a pupil states that she or he is ‘trans’.
Ask if the school staff are aware that self-ID and social transitioning can be harmful psychologically for any pupil.
Check that the school recognises the potential for social contagion among pupils and has strategies to manage this.
