From a BBC news story:
Parents should be involved in the "vast majority" of cases where a child questions their gender, according to new government guidance for all English schools.
The legally-binding advice says schools should not initiate steps towards social transitioning - when pupils change their name, pronoun or clothes to reflect their gender identity - and should instead consider carefully what other support a child might need.
In primary schools in particular, full social transitioning should only happen "very rarely", it says.

Even knowing this was so likely to happen… Can’t quite believe it is.

Adding alt text - critical breaking news for UK folks with trans+ kids in school or college

I’ll certainly be getting in touch with my kid’s school about this.

So, in light of this:

Trans+ people and cis women’s representation and human rights are NOT mutually exclusive.

Our path is a shared one. We live this together. Our causes interlink in spirit, but the worst kinds of people want our communities divided to conquer.

We must not let that happen.

I have to reel myself back from anxious activation whenever anyone, even non-transphobically, brings up cis female empowerment.

It exhausts me. I don’t want it, don’t condone it, don’t believe every cis feminist is a transphobe.

The nervous system whiplash happens anyway. Way too often.

‘There’s no evidence that gender-affirming care is safe for kids’ these people say and then *make things up* and tack on a big number.

Thank everything for people who put time into digging up the truth.

Stef’s working to get this funded and then some, so more money can go back into community through charitable causes.

Share and pass on to people you know! Even folks who don’t want a copy can give £1 just to support. And they’ll be thanked by name in the finished book 💫

Yeah I understand that, it’s brilliant that you run this and want to extend it for as many folks as possible :) I’d love for my little family to get over when a more suitable one is up and running.

Is there any kind of mailing list for updates in the meantime?

I REPEAT! 📢📢

This goal is only a fraction of what Rebeka owes and what they will need for future treatments in order to beat cancer.

Can we please get them to $3500 ASAP?

This is so beautiful 😍 Is it fully family and AuDHD kid friendly? Highly unlikely to get there this year but maybe next time, hopefully!

There’s the one about rats leaving a sinking ship, then there’s the wizarding hate-crime-funding-vehicle TV show, which seems full of rats swimming frantically for a sinking ship, out for any waterlogged cargo they can get before they go down with it.
