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.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
