Speaking to QueerAF Dr Natacha Kennedy, lecturer in Educational Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London said “The government’s new schools guidance is not about protecting trans children, it institutionalises the practices that research shows causes them harm. In my view the government’s schools guidance constitutes a form of ‘Ambient Conversion Therapy’ by embedding systemic pressures that will undermine trans children’s identities and wellbeing 24/7. It will increase minority stress and make their lives much harder.”

Beating down on kids. And they wonder why some of us chose not to have children.
