Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has briefed the press on the release of the government’s ‘Transgender Guidance’ for schools.<\/p>\n

According to the Mail<\/b><\/a>, the long overdue ‘transgender’ guidance will introduce a presumption against young people altering their names, pronouns, and uniforms within classroom settings.<\/p>\n

The guidance for head teachers is due to be published before Christmas. It will make it clear that sports teams, changing rooms and lavatories must be single-sex. A boy who opts to identify as a girl will not be able to enter the girls\u2019 facilities or play in a girls\u2019 team.<\/p>\n

Flawed Guidance<\/h2>\n

The Government’s introduction of this guidance is a positive step forward. Nonetheless, a notable concern arises with the anticipated guidelines. Under the new restrictions, pupils would have the ability to identify as the opposite gender in extremely restricted circumstances, subject to parental consent.<\/p>\n

The guidance looks very much like a compromise between the anti-trans (up to a point) Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch and the more pro-trans Education Secretary Gillian Keegan.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Kemi Badenoch said: ‘ The guidance will also ensure that parents are informed if their children tell staff they want to change their gender identity because many schools are keeping them in the dark.’<\/p>\n

The Biblical position is that parental consent on the issue of gender should not be on the table in the first place. It should be made clear that social transitioning is not the answer to children or adolescent going through puberty or experiencing emotional challenges. We are the sex we are born.<\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nIsaiah 45:9-10 Woe to him who strives with his Maker!… Woe to him who says to his father, \u2018What are you begetting?\u2019Or to the woman, \u2018What have you brought forth?\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Dangers of changing genders<\/h2>\n

So\u00a0 many regrets are now emerging from teenagers who went through ‘gender-reassignment surgery, thinking a vain attempt to change their gender would solve all their problems. A girl referred to a transgender clinic said she felt like a \u201cmutilated experiment gone wrong,\u201d after undergoing a double mastectomy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of these children did not live to tell the story. A 16-year-old boy who had \u201cvaginoplasty\u201d surgery in a vain attempt to \u201cchange his gender\u201d died from an infection, according to Dutch researchers. Logically, this mutilation is neither necessary nor godly. It is a perversion of medicine.<\/p>\n

Further,\u00a0 a heartbroken father took legal action against the national health service(NHS) to protect his child and to stop surgeons from performing sex-change surgery on his \u201cvulnerable\u201d autistic son.<\/p>\n

Children should be allowed to go through\u00a0 normal stages of growth without medical intervention that will ruin their lives completely. Those who are well do not need a physician.<\/p>\n

Make the guidance clear<\/h2>\n

The Government and the entire Equalities team ought to make this guidance crystal clear. Telling schools that children cannot change sex, but can make decisions ‘on their gender identity’, whilst correctly applying the Equality Act and the Gender Recognition Act is utterly confusing.<\/p>\n

Also, the statement added that schools must also abide by the rules of ‘Gillick competence’,<\/b><\/a> which state whether a child is old enough to consent to medical treatment.<\/p>\n

What happened to putting an end to this gender propaganda once and for all, and let children focus on education? What happened to Rishi Sunak’s statement at his party conference that a man cannot be a woman? We are still in the Politics of Absurdity<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nMark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.<\/b><\/p>\n

Common sense guidance<\/h2>\n

Executive director of the Sex Matters campaign group, Maya Forstater<\/b><\/a>, said: ‘It is a relief that the long-awaited guidance is coming out and that it will rule out most aspects of social transition clearly.’<\/p>\n

But she warned that the guidance will be confusing for schools, because it is not clear what is now meant by social transitioning. ‘It is time for common sense guidance,’ she said.<\/p>\n

‘The Government should make clear to head teachers that every child is born male or female, and that this does not change however they feel or act and whatever clothes they wear or words they use about themselves.<\/p>\n

‘Schools cannot meaningfully accommodate \u2018social transition\u2019 which means pretending that a boy is a girl or a girl is a boy, including by calling them \u2018he\u2019 or \u2018she\u2019 or applying different rules than to other girls or boys. It is not safe or fair on any of the children,’ she said.<\/p>\n
