How can we help “transgender school children” (i.e., school children with gender dysphoria)? The necessarily frank answer is by keeping them away from the overreaching, uncompromising assertions made by the most vocal — though by no means most representative — trans activists.
That’s the conclusion I’ve come to after debating a trans “celebrity” for The Spectator podcast about my cover story last week.

In my essay, I examine the situation in schools both in the U.K. and the U.S. I start by sharing how, as a teacher in Scotland, I was trained by a government-funded campaign group to promote transgenderism in my classroom, affirm any child who self-declared as transgender and bypass parental involvement:
We were advised to decorate our classrooms with positive images of trans people and to talk about trans celebrities, especially those with large social media followings. This would make gender non-conforming children feel more included. Should they feel excluded, they are at risk of killing themselves.
My biggest concern was this:
Where are the parents in all of this? They are often not told if their child is worried about their gender. During my training, we were told to avoid ‘outing’ potential transgender children to their families. If the child so wished, we might want to keep mummy and daddy out of the loop. Un-believably, this is in line with Scottish government guidelines.
This is also happening in the U.S., of course. This month the New Jersey Department of Education has come out with a new guidance document, which not only advises schools that they don’t have to inform parents of name/pronoun changes but seems to encourage reporting them for child abuse should they object. And how might this play out?
