A Church of England primary school allowed a four-year-old boy to join as a girl, The Telegraph can reveal.

The child’s sex was hidden from classmates, who were described by parents as traumatised when they found out.

Surely a step too far and too soon? What do you think? I admit I was shocked.

All of that is very true Elegran. The activists are absolutely not acting for the majority, but Stonewall's insistence that TWAW, that they have a right to access all safe spaces, that the language be bent to accommodate them acts against 'ordinary' transpeople as well as against women.

Doodledog I agree, is it so wrong for females to have their own spaces?

Is it so wrong for females to object to trans women (men) going on about their period pains (that they don’t and never will have)?

Is it so wrong for females to object to men dressing up in a way that parodies women’s bodies with over tight clothes revealing their penis?

There are probably 100’s of transgender people quietly going about their lives, not making it all about them. The new wave of cartoon like character trans women are not doing their cause any favours.

This point, Yes! On every thread about trans, the point is made (and refuted by some) that the damage done by the few not only harms females, but also impacts on trans who do not wish to use their trans status to cheat or lie their way into places or events that are for females.
That anyone endorses lying about sex or compels others to lie is what started this thread.
