Really disappointed to see you supporting homophobia & misogyny @clarebalding Did you check these resources before promoting? They undermine #safeguarding, misrepresent the law & deny same sex attraction.
We’re sure you didn’t mean to promote the erasure of girls boundaries @clarebalding? Did you?
Young girls just discovering they are lesbians need support & acceptance. This is not what they will get from @JustLikeUsUK. Please rethink & speak to @ALLIANCELGB#SchoolDiversityWeek
1. Children questioning whether they are trans need shielding from content on @CBBC & Childline, a mother has said…
Both the @BBC & the @NSPCC, which runs Childline, have come in for criticism for providing a one-sided view of transitioning.” #LGBT telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/06/2…
2. We have reviewed the guidance provided by @NSPCC (lesson resources and guidelines) and @childline (guidance on their website). We have concerns with the content they have produced. See our report here: safeschoolsallianceuk.net/resources-2/fa…
3. Let’s look at all the ways their resources breach @educationgovuk This thread includes examples and is not exhaustive. Read the full guide for a thorough analysis.
Irresponsible attitude towards suicide. Imagine being a teen just realising you are same sex attracted & being told this means you may kill yourself? Or being told being black means you may kill yourself? Where are the @samaritans? #RainbowDay#DiverseEd
More misrepresentations of the law and undermining of #safeguarding from @justlikeus for #SchoolDiversity week. Advising hiding of child’s sex & mixed sex facilities, leaving schools open to legal action.
Next up from @JustLikeUsUK for #SchoolDiversityWeek we have this libelling of Julia Long (pictured).Julia & other lesbians have every right to assert their same sex attraction at a #pride march. Denying this is homophobic/misogynistic & a breach of 1996 Education Act. #WomenEd
Julia Long is a lesbian feminist activist. She campaigns against porn & the damage it causes women & girls as well as being a researcher for the femicide census #CountingDeadWomen. Julia & her wife @sargesalute are excellent role models for lesbian & gender non conforming girls.
We are appalled that @JustLikeUsUK are telling girls, just becoming aware that they are same sex attracted that they have no right to exclude ‘lesbians’ with penises from their dating pool. This is #rapeculture. It is abhorrent that @educationgovuk are endorsing this.
Inclusion & inclusive language: Balancing the rights of all.
This morning we have seen a lot of confusion in the education community regarding sex & gender, when children should & shouldn’t be separated by sex & ‘inclusive’ language.
‘People who menstruate’ is not ‘inclusive’ language. It is offensive & dehumanising. When used in public health campaigns it excludes many women. Women with LD’s, women with EAL, women with poor literacy skills. The @educationgovuk is clear that it is girls who menstruate.
As well as being offensive (it is akin to the old fashioned misogynistic slur ‘bleeders’) ‘people who menstrate’, ‘cervix havers’, ‘uterus owners’ & all the other appalling euphemisms used for women & girls. It is politically motivated language & as such has no place in school.
Once again we have problems in Warwickshire. @EquipEquality1 are misrepresenting the Equality Act to schools. Are you endorsing this @Warwickshire_CC? Have you not learnt from previous debacles?
You can read about previous issues in Warwickshire on our website. These include @Warwickshire_CC promoting a resource called ‘respect yourself’ that among other #safeguarding concerns told children that bukkake was empowering.
For anybody who would like to know what ‘bukkake’ is without googling, this is how @Warwickshire_CC described it - to children. They also graphically described ‘fisting’, ‘felching’, ‘sunflowering’ & how normal it was for 12 year olds to be addicted to porn - to children.
