Today, as many of us will sadly be aware, the Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 guidance came into force. This guidance will not keep children safe. I have written to the Minister for Education, telling her that she is fully responsible for the harm this guidance will cause these poor kids.

"Dear Secretary of State,

Today was my daughter’s first day at high school. For her, it was everything a first day of high school should be: excitement, nerves, new teachers, new friends and the beginning of a new chapter. She walked through those school gates expecting to belong there, and came home with the joy of a child who has started something new.

This is how it should be.

But if she was trans this experience would be very different.

Thousands of trans children will have experienced something very different today. As Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 comes into force, an estimated 3,500 trans children starting secondary school today have instead been left facing the possibility of being outed, segregated or made to feel that their very existence is a problem. While other children were worrying about whether they would make friends or find their classrooms, some trans children were worrying about whether the adults responsible for their safety would expose them, exclude them or treat them as fundamentally different from their peers.

You have done this in the name of safeguarding, but there is nothing safe about making vulnerable children afraid of the very institutions that are supposed to protect them. There is nothing protective about policies that can make a child feel that being honest about who they are could put them at risk. And there is nothing responsible about ignoring the foreseeable consequences because it is politically easier to appease a small but extraordinarily noisy anti-trans movement than to stand up for the children you were elected to serve.

You chose them. You chose their campaigners, their rhetoric and their relentless pressure over the wellbeing of the children affected by your decisions.

You were warned. Parents warned you. Teachers warned you. Children's organisations warned you. Trans people warned you. For years, you have been given every opportunity to stop and consider where this road leads..."

"There are an estimated 50,000 trans children in our schools...They deserve to walk through their school gates excited about seeing their friends, learning something new and finding their place in the world. Instead, your Government has made thousands of them wonder whether they are welcome in the first place...

When you deliberately create an environment of fear, stigma, forced disclosure and exclusion around a group of already vulnerable young people, you cannot simply shrug your shoulders when those children suffer. When some of them become isolated, when some stop asking adults for help, when some become so overwhelmed by the hostility surrounding them that they lose hope, you cannot claim that nobody could have seen it coming...

And that means you cannot later hide behind the comforting fiction that you were simply following the evidence, or that you had no alternative, or that somebody else was responsible. You are the Government. You have the power to decide what kind of schools our children grow up in, and today you have chosen to make those schools less safe for trans children.

If a trans child is pushed further into despair because of policies your Government knowingly chose to implement, remember this moment. Remember the warnings. Remember the parents who told you what you were doing. Remember that you had the power to protect these children and chose political expediency instead.

Their lives are being put on the line.

And if the worst happens, the responsibility cannot simply be passed around until nobody is accountable. Their blood will be on your hands.

...Every child deserves to feel that way.

Including trans children.

You are the Secretary of State for Education. Your responsibility is not to the loudest campaigners, the easiest headlines or the politics of the moment. It is to the children standing at those school gates.

Protect them. All of them. Before it is too late.'

Carter G. Woodson's famous 1933 work The Mis-Education of the Negro includes a discussion of these kinds of cases. Medical textbooks of the era reminded students of the higher rates of diseases including STIs in Black populations. True, relevant information. But what effects did it have? 3/

Two notions should appear in anyone's head who looks at British Politics right now. Firstly "Parliament is Sovereign", and Carl Schmitt's "Sovereign is he who decides on the state of exception." The British System has an illusion of rule of law but there are constant exceptions.

I'm tired of saying this, but trans rights has become the earliest and biggest signal as to how serious a politician is about defeating modern fascism. Modern fascism is using trans people as the sharp end of the wedge. If politicians accept the wedge, they aren't interested in stopping it.

"I don't like being called cis" "I don't like being called white" "I don't like being called abled" That's because you view yourself as "normal" or "the default" and everyone else as *not*. Viewing yourself as the baseline is just another form of prejudice. It's just a more implicit type.

I think the langauge of "anti rights" is too weak and cautious, I would rather just go directly to calling sex matters a neo-fascist organisation because their segregation of gendered people is inherently an extension of fascist patriarchial logic, plus they have the backing of US christofascists.

It's great to wake up and think that 95% of y'all would've happily let the nazis destroy the lives of Jewish people, Roma, the disabled, and anyone they deemed subhuman in the 1930s because your apathy towards trans people, disabled people, the Roma and irish travellers TODAY speaks volumes.

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

The pervasive patriarchal attitude that queer children must be surveilled, abused, and denied all autonomy in order to "correct" them into conforming with their assigned reproductive role is exactly what the GC movement, in manifestos like Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", is peddling.

Just giving a little advice. If you've got a friend you ain't heard from in a really long time, and you kept saying "ah I should catch up" and ya keep forgetting? Do me a favor today. Call them. Say hi, catch up with them, tell them how much they mean to you. Could mean a world of difference.

Even in Corbett v Corbett, Ormrod LJ used 'she' for post-transition. Somehow, the judiciary was able to use our pronouns for decades without it creating any supposed appearance of bias, but now it routinely degenders and misgenders us. It's such transparent bigotry and/or cowardice.
