Schools considering a trip to the Globe's 'I, Joan' might want to consider whether the production complies with @educationgovuk guidance on gender identity. DfE in turn should reflect on what this reveals about their guidance. Some thoughts ... 🧵 #edutwitter 1/14 Given the absence of gender ideology in the 1400s, the key indicators of Joan's purported trans identity are that she "wore men’s clothing, had short hair and took up arms." theguardian.com/stage/2022/aug…

The updated 2022 @educationgovuk policy "Keeping children safe in education" conflates a child's attested trans identity with sexual orientation & thus fails to recognise potential safeguarding concerns that may apply for these children. #edutwitter🧵1/14 Image This new KCSIE guide does not come into force until September, so now is the time to urge DfE to update the guidance in line with the available evidence (including the interim Cass Review) & help teachers offer appropriate support for trans-identified students. 2/14

"Twitter does not lend itself to nuance or subtlety, but legislative proposals and clinical best practice are ill-served by simplistic sloganeering.
So, let me optimistically use Twitter to try to unpack the conflicting views on the govt's conversion therapy bill. 1/20 Apologies in advance for another epic thread, but hopefully this will underscore that differences of opinion on the wisdom of the proposed conversion therapy legislation are not a case of "pure, cold-eyed evil" (thanks Philip Pullman) versus enlightened progressives. 2/20

1/18The Department for Education has given schools an impossible task when it comes to the RSE curriculum and teaching about "gender identity". A thread on the conundrum @educationgovuk have created … #edutwitter 2/18The DfE state: "Pupils should be taught the facts and the law about sex, sexuality, sexual health and gender identity in an age-appropriate and inclusive way."
