A 14 year-old girl who attends a state secondary school in England – where she says one in five girls in her year identifies as trans or non-binary – has written anonymously for the Mail to expose the truth about what’s going on after becoming increasingly upset by her school’s acceptance of transgender ideology. Here’s an excerpt.
There is a gender-neutral uniform policy at school and lots of the girls wear trousers. Those of us that do are often asked if we are transgender, especially if we have short hair, as I do.
The fact a girl likes playing video games, or doesn’t like feminine clothes or make-up is enough to be seen as potentially trans. When my mum complained about me being called ‘they’, the teacher apologised but explained he was being cautious in case I was transitioning. He said the teachers are treading on eggshells, scared of being labelled transphobic.
It feels like trans is all anyone talks about. The library has a section devoted to LGBTQQIA+ books and there is a display for Pride in the school entrance, with rainbow flags and words and terms such as ‘non-binary‘, ‘polysexual’, ‘demiboy’, ‘demigirl’ and ‘pansexual’. These words come up in lessons, too. I’m now in Year 10, and the other day a girl in my English class asked if the Greek god Zeus was a man or a woman and the teacher replied that Zeus could have “identified as non-binary”.
More recently another teacher said Lady Macbeth was “neither a man nor a woman”. I think most parents will have no clue this is what their kids are being taught.
So I’m glad the Education Secretary Gillian Keegan is set to tell schools they must be more open about their handling of trans issues. I would be too scared to say this at school, though. I would lose my friends if I did, as they’re completely intolerant of anything they think is transphobic.
That’s what made me decide to speak out here — without giving my real name.
When I started at my secondary school four years ago, I didn’t even know what ‘transgender’ meant. It hadn’t been talked about in primary school or at home. But within days, we were told by a teacher in our PSHE (personal, social, health and economic education) class that we would be seen as ‘transphobic’ if we used any of the ‘offensive words’ from a long list, which included ‘gender bender’ and ‘butch’…
While still in my first year, 11-year-old girls in my class began asking to be called ‘he’ or ‘them’.
Soon afterwards a number of others were doing the same. It felt as if they joined in because it meant they were seen as cool.
You get special treatment if you say you are trans or non-binary and suddenly become the centre of attention when you ‘come out’.
As soon as a girl says she is a boy, her name is changed on the school register and students are told to use their chosen boy’s name.
Now, out of 200 students in my year, at least 20 say they’re trans — almost all are girls claiming to be boys or non-binary. Although there is one boy saying he’s a girl, this really is largely about girls saying they are boys. The kids in my year don’t say they are lesbian or gay, because those words are thought to be an insult.
There is a straight boy going out with a straight girl who says she is trans, so he now has to say that he’s bisexual. It’s often said by my schoolmates that trans girls are ‘better’ girls than ‘other girls’. I find this insulting. But the teachers don’t take any action even if they do hear conversations like this.
Frightening stuff. But don’t worry, vote for the Conservatives and they’ll put a stop to all this woke nonsense. Erm…

This chimes with my experience teaching in a British school for many years. I saw this creep in over around 3 years; first there were ‘Safe Spaces’, then teachers were appointed as LGBTQ+ ambassadors who had to wear rainbow lanyards, it took over assemblies, PHSE lessons, posters, etc etc etc, and right about the time I left to teach in Việt Nam, the trans thing was in full swing, with posters displayed in corridors about pronouns, genders and other such things.
I don’t think any of this has happened organically, by accident, or in response to mistreatment or under-representation of gay or transgender people. I think this is by design. A population at war with itself over such superficialities is a very weak society indeed. Divide and conquer is as old as the hills. But who is doing the conquering?
Oh and I’m pleased to report that Việt Nam is undergoing no such cultural revolution, so I don’t feel alienated here as much as I do in my own country. Fancy that.
Re: posters on school corridors and LGBTQXYZ displays in the school entrance – was this an Ofsted- pleasing thing?
I remember when I was a school governor a few years ago that all the school’s mission statements, core principles and childrens’ priorities had to be clearly on show in public areas. This was a c of e infant school. A couple of us were tasked with walking round to make sure every vacant corner was used to bash home the message and the culture. It made the place look visually cluttered and hectic, in my view, but ‘advisors’ from the diocese or the LEA in lanyards would tell us that this would make the difference between being rated as ‘good’ or ‘needing attention’.
God knows what it’s like in secondary schools.
My partner teaches at a UK school where the majority of pupils are Chinese. As a teacher, their parents hold her in such high esteem that she finds it almost embarrassing, but they come from a culture that sees the value of education above almost anything else.
These pupils, even the ones new to the English language, are massively enthusiastic about learning, participating and supporting each other (they actually find it fun), and typically make more progress in a year than native English pupils do in three.
This doesn’t seem to be so much about what the Chinese have gained, but more what we have lost. For decades, ideological zealots have been using children as guinea pigs to help them achieve their dream of some sort of half-baked utopia, and a generation of idiot parents have been led to believe raising their children is the job of the State.
Then when they get home, every day the BBC has a trans story and a similar opinion piece from some LGBQT+ correspondent. It’s almost like there is an agenda here
Kids respond to fashion, and this is cool and fashionable. Deeper down though it is about the sexualising of kids, and the destruction of the nuclear family. Its been done for years with easy divorces and welfare payments. The view has just switched to the source. Its is sold as ‘letting kids find their identity’ but is the exact opposite (well now, what a surprise…)
I doubt if any of them ever pay attention to the BBC. The BBC’s Trolling is for the parents.
Very good point. The kids get indoctrinated at school by their teachers and peers. The parents get indoctrinated at home by the BBC (and probably most mainstream media at this point.)
Pretty easy to deal with this- repeal the Gender Identity Act and any others pertaining to this gross nonsense. Unfortunately, our politicians are too yellow to consider this option.
I wonder what is going through the mind of a teacher who is playing along with all this insanity?
I suspect the damage to his or her self esteem and spirit might be quite big.
Deep down they must feel like giant pieces of ….
Pretty similar to the covid indoctrination in that most are too scared to stand up against it
This is truly disturbing and dangerous, our kids future mental health is at risk here! I thought we were supposed to protect our children? If teachers and politicians can’t do this then the kids are lost!
Read this and weep 🙁

The conversatives will perhaps have a conversation about this some day (and then decide to do nothing about it).
According to the Shit always rolls downhill principle, someone must be paying for this massive marketing and brainwashing campaign targetting vulnerable people, ie, children. That would be a nice task for investigative journalism: Who’s the child-abuser-in-chief behind this and what vehicles does he use to channel his funds to the corrupt people on his payroll who certainly exist.
This article provides some clues, at least in terms of the US:

What’s going on with the parents who allow this?
Don’t you know this? It’s kept secret from them and kids are encouraged to ignore whatever their parents might say about the topic. Teaching materials are kept secret, too. It’s claimed that this is necessary because they’re copyrighted, obvious nonsense because copyrighted stuff is meant to be published.
I was on a train about a year ago and there were 2 girls in front of me about maybe 13 or 14 years old. Being too young for discretion they entered into a discussion about issues of se and gender at a volume that everyone around them could hear. Their discussion as you would expect at that age was very immature and it was clear that they had picked up the nonsense they were discussing at school. All I can say is that I am thoroughly ashamed of the manner in which officialdom is totally brainwashing children on all manner of Politically Correct agenda driven garbage. Teachers in schools have not suddenly taken it upon themselves to indulge in this insidious dogma. It must have come from above, and from the Liberal Progressive clutter that we see eg at the moment in Scotland where the silly squirming SNP are tying themselves in knots over a jumble of crap. What is even more worrying is that no one in the Scottish parliament seems to be challenging any of it, and the latest stuff that saw the SNP U turn regarding the man sent to womans prison was voted through as far as I recall by Conservatives and Labour as well as the SNP and Greens
We have known for years that the state is no good at running things: health, education, trains, the motor industry, the aerospace industry…….
The whole silly ‘trans’ thing is just the latest example.
Government today, of whatever party, is ‘democratic’ socialist fascist in nature; big, authoritarian, stupid, often criminal, state:
‘It’s a communist one party state, we said. We couldn’t get away with it in Europe, we thought… and then Italy did it. And we realised we could.’ Prof. Ferguson, Imperial College, London.
All we can do is keep voting successive governments/parties out of power until they get the message: ‘Less (government) is more’
A functioning state would keep these ‘private’ sickos out of child education. The neoliberally-engineered rump state always seeking to abolish itself cannot anymore. At least in Germany, prior to the takeover by the exact same preachers of We don’t want to pay taxes!!1, we’ve known that the state is really good at running certain things for centuries. So good, actually, that the German empire, utilizing a largely centrally-planned economy ouf dire need, managed to stay ahead of the ‘free’ world seeking its destruction at any cost and was ultimatively only conquered after a coup conveniently engineered by a socialist faction with internatioalist ties (USPD).
Your cure is the disease and more of it will only make us sicker.
You are entitled to your opinion.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Nevertheless you have brightened up my day.
The German Empire was royally stuffed by Rawlinson, helped by the first mass deployment of armoured vehicles, 660 of them, encouraged and supported by Haig, at Amiens 08 Aug. 1918.
My cure is exactly the same as that of the German Empire you so much admire:
‘An exact calculation of the proportion would be extremely difficult, but it is probable that the capital value of governmental enterprises did not exceed one tenth of the national wealth in 1914’
Helfferich, K., Germany’s Economic Progress and National Wealth, 1888–1913 (New York, 1914)
“This furtherance of trade and industry by the statesmen was almost wholly of a negative or permissive sort, in that it consisted in the removal of restrictions previously enforced; … The good effects are traceable to the removal of obstacles.”
Veblen, Thorstein, Imperial Germany and the Industrial Revolution (New York, 1915)
Health and trains were sort-of privatized in Germany since about 2000. Education still hasn’t been.
The German Empire was royally stuffed by Rawlinson, helped by the first mass deployment of armoured vehicles, 660 of them, encouraged and supported by Haig, at Amiens 08 Aug. 1918.
The first massed deployment of tanks for a surprise attack (they had already been used for support of conventional massed artillery fire and human wave attacks since the battle of the Somme in 1916) happened 1917 at Cambrai. This had roughly the same initial results but ultimatively, the British advance was crushed by a German counterattack which recovered most the lost territory and gained some never occupied before.
In August 1918, the Germans had been through four months of tactically immensely successful but strategically inconclusive offensives (ie, they actually achieved three complete tactical breakthroughs, something no Entente attack ever managed to accomplish until the war ended in November 1918) which left them in badly defensible ad hoc positions and with exhausted and ill-supplied weak units as the offensives had used up almost all of manpower reserves of the empire. The allied troops achieved a surprise attack because the OHL didn’t believe in one in this area and purposely ignored all warnings (eg, movements of lots of tanks being overheard in the night) from frontline units. Nevertheless, a decisive allied victory (ie, tactical breakthrough followed by war of movement in the German hinterland) again failed to materialize.
The history lesson aside, what was the point? Mine was that empire was cut off from global trade by the British sea blockade since fall 1914, that famine was the norm on the territory of the central powers and that – even in Germany where the situation was much better than in Austria – hundredthousands of people starved to death (estimated >700,000). The Germans were also cut off from most of the resources they had to import and massively outnumbered in both manpower and material by their opponents. Yet, they managed to keep their war economy going on a competitive level until the so-called revolution in November 1918 cut the supply lines of the field army and forced an unconditional surrender.
Cambrai was more of a 48hr raid, provided good lessons well learnt for Amiens.
The point is that the German Army was well beaten in 1918.
And the apparatus of government, state owned enterprises, in pre first world war Germany was tiny compared to what we now have here.
No wonder they were commercially a great deal more successful than we are in this country today.
