We are asking all of you to help us by sending a letter to your PTA. We have (with the help of some amazing anon women) composed a letter on the concerns around mixed sex toilets in schools. This is one of the main issues we’ve been contacted about.
Parent/teacher relationships are so vital. The PTA are often the heart of what’s happening in schools so we would like to inform them of this issue.
Please go to the campaign section: sosscotland.com/campaigns and send a copy to your PTA. Let us know the school, that’s it! #SOS
Just a side note: Most people refer to these as Parent Councils now and that’s what they’re referred to by Education Scotland, although we know some still call them PTA’s.
@patrickharvie mentions that to have reasonable conversations we need to be ‘free of practices like deadnaming or misgendering which are so traumatising to a lot of people’.
We would like to invite Mr Harvie to meet with us and discuss this further
We hear from parents and teachers who tell us that schools are socially transitioning children by changing their names and pronouns and treating them as the opposite sex, without telling parents and sometimes against clinical advice. 2/
We know that referring to a child by their name and sex (so called ‘deadnaming’ and ‘misgendering’) is already presented to schools as intimidating, abusive and humiliating by orgs promoting the transition of children. ‘Transphobic hate crimes’ include invasive questions 3/
