Many trans children socially transition, such as taking on new names, pronouns, haircuts and uniforms, to better embrace their gender identity.
But new advice published yesterday says this needs to be agreed by the school and parents must be involved in the ‘majority’ of cases.
Social transition should only happen ‘very rarely’ in primary schools, stressing that decisions ‘may not be the same as a child’s wishes’.
This is a far cry from a 2023 draft produced under the Conservatives, which said youngsters should not be able to use different pronouns.
They will learn to lie convincingly .

Where we were at as a country 15 years ago when it came to homophobia is approximatelynwhere we are at today with transphobia in my opinion. It is far too normalised, I’ll hear people joke about a friend of a friend of a friend being a ‘they/them thing’ same way I would hear about someone being a ‘bender’ back when I was still in primary school.
Like this person you know nothing about has decided to come out as non-binary, one of the bravest and hardest decisions in their fucking life, and here you are laughing at them you pathetic, ignorant, gossiping man-child.
