It is really disappointing, but unsurprising that this is a Sussex school. The Allsorts trans toolkit sets up this situation- mis education & a combative style of teaching.
It is no surprise that the students being spoken over & disregarded are girls.

Again- we urge those responsible for sorting out the commissioning crisis in Brighton’s women’s services (refuge service, rape crisis services) follow the tribunal of Edinburgh Rape Crisis- who embed similar models of only unisex provision.
Simply put- these models fail women.
Good morning.
We will be continuing to live-tweet the case of Adams v Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre today. It is expected to re-commence at 10am
The Claimant, was employed by Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre as a counsellor.

Women should not need to be doing this kind of scrutiny, unpaid and on top of our other commitments.
After the fiasco of the domestic abuse commissioning process in 2021, the council needs to rebuild trust with women. This is not the way to do it,

This impacts our schools too:

2021 report on Harmful Sexual Behaviour in Schools:
More needs to be done to challenge existing misogynistic attitudes and the resulting harmful sexual behaviour experienced by girls in our schools.
Indeed.

The most moving moment of
#TimeToTalk
was that of a brave detransitioner:
“It was after I had a double mastectomy that I realised I was female”
Brighton & Hove must do better & adopt policies that are evidenced based & protect the health of our city’s girls

After years of battling the sex-pay gap, Brighton women council workers secure parity!

We want safe, trauma informed joined up services.
We want by-and-for services that reflect diversity & are proportionately funded.
We want single-sex services &
uni-sex services to be clearly signposted.
We know this because women tell us
