No one left behind: equality, freedom and justice

No one left behind: equality, freedom and justice for all!Today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). With equality, freedom and justice in mind, we want to bring attention to the recently announced review of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) in the UK. Following years of targeted anti-trans sentiment, the proposed RSHE guidance states simply that "gender identity should not be taught".Pushing trans and nonbinary people from the public eye doesn't change the reality that we exist.Children should not be brought up with a narrow and unrealistic understanding of human diversity, leaving them woefully unprepared for a naturally diverse world.Simply not teaching about gender will not prevent kids from being trans and non-binary, but it will teach those kids to live in enforced silence and shame. We are still feeling the repercussions of Section 28. A repeat of that injustice is being threatened again, now. The gov review of the RSHE statutory guidance consultation is open now and closes 11:59pm on 11 July 2024. Please fill it out - let's oppose the utter inadequacy of this proposed guidance, together (link in our bio).Not one child or young person should be left behind. Equality, freedom, and justice for ALL!#Proud2Be #Trans #Nonbinary #Gay #Bi #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2024 #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
