Britain Sees Trans Sense

- Homo sapiens.

Great news on the global fight against gender extremism: New national UK guidelines will not require schools to use students’ preferred pronouns, but will require them to inform parents if a student wishes to change gender.

Better still, restrooms, changing rooms and even some sports will be separated according to sex at birth.

This is the correct, science- and evidenceba­sed approach — and it’s appalling that so many American educationa­l, medical and media institutio­ns still shriek that it’s literally killing children.

No good evidence suggests that pediatric gender transition provides any real benefit to kids when they’re older. And the idea that biological men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and sports has nothing to do with science.

It’s purely a political imperative of the woke left; a drive to abolish a fundamenta­l fact, the sexual dimorphism of The UK guidelines aren’t flawless, but they represent a massive step forward from the gender hysteria that has consumed the developed world over the past decade.

In the United States, however, we remain mired in it. School districts across the country let teachers and staff socially transition kids with zero parental notificati­on. Sports bodies invite trans women, who enjoy massive strength and size advantages, to compete against biological women.

The American Medical Associatio­n wants to keep social transition­s of kids secret; the American Academy of Pediatrics insanely recommends surgery and hormones for minors even as it admits it’s time for a systematic review of the evidence around them. “First do no harm”? Forget it. The new UK guidelines prove that victory against the woke cadres is possible. Rational people across America need to keep up the pressure on electeds and everyone else until they win the fight to keep kids safe.
