I am a parent in Brighton and Hove and have been fighting against this for a couple of years now. Last year their inclusion service offered a workshop on Autism and Gender Identity that I attended (my son is autistic) in which they used the phrase ‘assigned at birth’ and also said it was fine for trans youth to use the toilets and changing facilities of their chosen gender. When I pointed out this was against the equality act, I received an email telling me that Brighton and Hove schools can go on a case by case basis. So we now have 2 secondary schools that I know of that have mixed sex, or as they like to call them gender-neutral toilets. What can we parents do? Help. @suzisworld07

> No school is exempt from the proselytism at work in the education system. It’s in local authority schools, academies, christian schools (Catholic and Church of England).

This is why we need education vouchers with the funding following the child. In education as in everything else, when people have The Right To walk Away ( https://pontifex.substack.com/p/the-right-to-walk-away ), oppression is made much less likely.
