Gender craziness

RECENT advances by the transgender lobby are disturbing, and for children as young as four to be asked to ‘choose the gender they most identify with’ on a council’s school registration form (Mail) is gross irresponsibility.

How can a child that young understand the concept? To inflict this ideology on such young minds is confusing and harmful.

Even more disturbing is the increase in the number of under-16s receiving transgender treatment on the NHS.

The Commons Women and Equalities Committee recommends that transgender issues be taught in schools. But a recent bulletin by the Family Education Trust reports that the American College of Paediatricians strikes ‘a much-needed note of sanity and compassion’.

The college calls on educators and legislators ‘to reject policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex’.

It states that ‘the norm for human design is to be conceived either male or female with the obvious purpose being the reproduction and flourishing of our species’, while transgender treatment is associated with ‘dangerous health risks’ in later life.

I suggest that where children are being subjected to questioning of this nature, parents should object strongly to school governors. DAVID MoRGAN, Baschurch, Shropshire.
