Schools Which Let Boys Use Girls’ Toilets and Use Preferred Pronouns Without Medical Advice are Breaking Law, Says Government

by Will Jones
10 August 2022 7:00 AM

Schools that only offer ‘gender neutral’ lavatories or allow pupils to ‘socially transition’ are acting unlawfully, Suella Braverman has said as she uses a major speech to set out the Government’s legal advice on transgender pupils. The Telegraph has the story.

The Attorney General warned on Wednesday that teachers who allow their students to ‘socially transition’ to the opposite gender without their parents’ consent could be in breach of their duty of care to the child and open themselves up to a negligence claim.

She will use a speech on equalities legislation on Wednesday to say that schools should only use a transgender child’s preferred pronouns on the advice of a medical professional.

Ms. Braverman, who ran as Tory party leader and made it to the final six candidates in the contest before she was knocked out, has now endorsed Liz Truss and has been tipped for a prominent position in her Cabinet.

Her speech comes after a landmark review found that the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), which is the NHS’s only facility for transgender children based at the Tavistock Centre in north London, must be shut down on the basis that it is “not safe” for children.

Writing in the Telegraph, Ms. Braverman said it can be lawful for schools to “refuse to allow a biologically and legally male child, who identifies as transgender, from using the girls’ toilets”.

She added: “There is also a separate duty to provide single sex toilets in schools, breach of which would be unlawful. The legislative background therefore means that biological male children are generally not permitted to use the female toilets in schools.”

Another contentious issue is children transitioning “behind their parents’ backs” where schools allow pupils to assume a new gender identity without informing their family.

Ms. Braverman argues that referring to transgender children as their preferred pronoun is a “serious intervention” which should not be done unless it is on the advice of an independent medical practitioner.

The U.K. is moving towards being a haven of relative good sense on the transgender issue. It remains to be seen what difference it makes on the ground and whether it continues in the face of the inevitable woke backlash.

Worth reading in full.

Even she’s using their language though, saying a ‘biologically and legally male child, who identifies as transgender’. Why can’t she just say ‘a biologically and legally male child, who wants to be a girl’.

Let’ dispense with ‘their’ language altogether and keep it simple and direct:

‘a boy who wants to be a girl.’

About bloody time, but after the shenanigans of the last 2.5 years it is difficult not to suspect a hidden agenda. This sort of talk hardly fits with Agenda 2030 and the aims of the Davos Deviants.

Possibly this is just a distraction.

Here’s a bit of a radical proposal: Get every adult who wants to talk about sex to children out of school, except insofar this happens as part of ordinary biology lessons. All of them. The relationship educators as well as the cross-dressers.

We would need to take over the schools. Anyone can talk about sex.

Of course anybody can. But it would already help a lot if all of these anybodys were supposed not to.

I introduced the subject of adult sexual intercourse to my children when they started asking those questions. I began by describing it briefly as an activity which an adult male and adult female should enjoy doing together and one that can result in babies which need 24hr parental care for many years. More detail gets added, as this mama and papa bear deem necessary.

So glad we took them both out of school at ages 7 and 9.

A step in the right direction, however it needs much more intervention from government around issues such as boys who claim to be girls participating in girl’s sports and children (especially pre-teens) being taught that people can be born into the wrong body.

The idea that people have an existence indepedent of their bodies is nothing but the Christian body – soul dichotomy, with the body just being the worldly part while the soul is immortal and came from God, repackaged. Consquently trans-something-ism (Is their a word for that?) is a religion derived from Christianity.
