It& #39;s not just the & #39;born in the wrong body& #39; narrative that& #39;s the problem.
Here are some more examples of harmful ideology aimed at children.

THREAD
From Stonewall& #39;s primary school curriculum for children aged 4 and up:
"make your PSHE sessions trans inclusive by referring to & #39;most girls& #39; or & #39;most boys& #39; when learning about body parts and puberty." 2/
And this from http://Scarleteen.com"> http://Scarleteen.com  another sex ed provider for young people:
"Girldick, otherwise known as clits, lady bits, a shenis, or just someone& #39;s genitals or junk is the affectionate name some people use to refer to their own or other women& #39;s penises" 3/
And another cracker from the Proud Trust
"use the phrase & #39;a person with a vagina& #39; rather than & #39;a woman& #39;s vagina& #39; and & #39;a person with a penis& #39; instead of & #39;a man& #39;s penis& #39; This is because as we will learn not all women have a vagina and not all men have a penis"

How to teach queer theory to 4-yr-olds, from Stonewall again
"Remember to teach children that & #39;they& #39; & #39;them& #39; and & #39;they& #39; can be singular as well as plural. You could use it as an opportunity to learn that a lot of non-binary people prefer not to be referred to as & #39;he& #39; or & #39;she& #39;

You& #39;d think http://pshe-association.org.uk"> http://pshe-association.org.uk  might get it right. Wrong.
"Trans: an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender is not congruent with the assumptions made about them at birth. This includes but is not limited to gender fluid, agender, non- bi- and demi-gender"

Brook again, here on transitioning:
"Transitioning can involve many different elements and stages but ultimately, is concerned with changing your physical appearence and body to match you gender identity"

These are just a tiny number of examples from organisations that want to put their RSE materials into schools. This is why I welcome the first steps by the DfE to stop them doing so.
