1/8 I am being taught a belief system as fact in school. When I ask questions and point out obvious and huge problems I am told off and receive abuse from students AND teachers. #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

2/8 In one class I was handed a booklet that had truly shocking content such as “your sex is assigned at birth.” It isn’t! It is just what you are! A doctor doesn’t randomly decide it! #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

3/8 Another statement in the booklet was that “Lesbians are mainly attracted to women.” But then they are bisexual, aren’t they? Lesbians are exclusively attracted to women. No mainly about it! #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

4/8 When I pointed out that letting males into female spaces puts women in danger of predators I was told these were “very extreme circumstances.” There are already male sex offenders who committed crimes against women in women’s prisons. It’s not extreme at all. #SexNotGender

5/8 As if that wasn’t bad enough, my science teacher (yes! science teacher!) has also been trying to indoctrinate me into a religious-like belief system! #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

6/8 I raised the matter of sport. I told her about Fallon Fox. A transwoman (male) who fractured a woman’s skull in an MMA fight because of the massive physical advantage Fox has over her. #SaveWomensSports #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

7/8 I also said that by saying a man who does feminine things is a woman is extremely stereotypical. My science teacher told me that wasn’t true but didn’t give a satisfactory answer as to why. #SexNotGender #FairPlayForWomen #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters

8/8 Then my science teacher actually told me that, “it doesn’t matter what your reproductive system is. If you feel feminine then you are female.” This is my science teacher who specialises in biology. What is wrong with the world? #SexNotGender #WomenWontWheesht #sexmatters
