UK folks!!

There's some new 'guidance' for schools in the works, which aims to force teachers to inform parents if a child is questioning their gender, or identifies as trans.

This would also involve refusing to acknowledge a child's gender identity without express consent of the parents AND the personal approval of the head teacher.

I can't stress enough how dangerous this will be for trans and queer children in the UK. Some of you may remember Thatcher's Section 28, a piece of legislation designed to "prohibit the promotion of homosexuality".

Practically, this bill legalised homophobia and orientation-based discrimination for years.

THIS guidance for teachers will be worse. This guidance directly targets trans children and puts them at risk of discrimination, harassment and abuse by the people supposed to protect them.

Below is a link to a petition you can sign to counter this guidance. If you can, PLEASE write to your local MP. If they are labour, it is likely they will have opposed Section 28 when it was released and, if enough determination is shown CHANGE CAN HAPPEN.

We cannot let this guidance get a foothold.

We cannot endanger trans children.

DON'T GIVE THEM AN INCH.

Alice Litman got on the Gender clinic waiting list at 16 and died at 20 because of the waiting. I have had to wait the exact same time but now I keep thinking about how I'll always be waiting longer than her now. She'll never get to transition, it was robbed from her. I'll think of her every step I take now. No one should have to wait 4 years, let alone the now expected 10.

Thinking about the first DW special some more and really getting more disappointed with the attempt at trans rep. I thought about how Donna gave all her lottery winnings away and said she should have saved some to leave the area, but if this was real she would definitely save a chunk for Rose's transition? Because she certainly didn't get gender affirming care through the NHS while still being at school. And then I realised they never mention any real problems trans people face in the UK or anywhere?

The issues addressed are skin deep; Boys at school calling her names instead of the school itself putting Rose in dangerous compromising positions with those same bullies. Rose's grandmother meaning well but getting confused instead of how difficult it is to be properly recognised by any official body. A bit about assuming pronouns but ZERO mention of how we can be murdered, for being trans, while the police have to be browbeaten into recognising it as a hatecrime and the media will call us by a false name and identity which caused us nothing but pain in the articles about it!

The "rep" we get is reminiscent of MCU 'girlboss feminism' filled with puns and a joke about "male presenting people" (which barely makes sense, the Doctor was JUST a woman) just likely to alienate supporters and members of our community so Russell and the others can look so progressive without doing any real advocacy or calling out real institutions, including their own colleagues in the BBC and media in general. This is what actual virtue signalling looks like. Russell knows the life and strife of gay men but clearly doesn't know or doesn't care enough about the same for trans people.

The story itself was fun and I liked the characters elsewhere, but I am pessimistic about how the future will go. I'm afraid that in making Rose a cause for ally points, the creators have insured she gets no chance to be a character or a voice.
