ets” attempts to help sports clubs and other organisations safely manage children’s changing room procedures.
However, Sex Matters has said that, in practice, the guidance “runs counter to good safeguarding practice” by “ignoring” biological sex in favour of gender.
In guidance relating to transgender and non-binary children, the document says: “Using gendered changing facilities can be a source of stress for transgender and non-binary children.
“Sport and activity providers should consider how to support these young people to use the changing rooms that they feel comfortable with.”
Sex Matters said that this implied that children should be able to choose facilities intended for the opposite biological sex.
Much concern about the poor trans and non-binary youth feeling uncomfortable: none whatsoever about girls feeling uncomfortable changing next to blokes. It's the same old story.
Last year it was revealed that the Childline website, which is overseen by the NSPCC, was accused of failing children after teenagers who believed they were trans were told via the site to seek potentially dangerous treatments behind their parents’ backs.
