As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on the Section 28 issue, here’s Natacha explaining how references to gender identity, that were included in the draft of the National Curriculum, were deliberately edited out by civil servants at the Department for Education. I don’t see how that is anything other that deliberate discrimination by the bureaucrats involved.

I note also that while sexuality is generally not an issue for children until they are older, gender identity is often a significant problem for kids before they even get to school. Having government enshrine discrimination against gender variant children in school policy is deeply disturbing.

Update: Someone has started a petition. Sadly past experience has shown that the general public doesn’t have any interest in trans rights, so I’ll be surprised if it gets more than 1,000 signatures.
