Boys can have periods too, children to be taught in latest victory for transgender campaigners
Sex education lessons for children at school will now include information about transgender people

School children will be taught that "all genders" can have periods in new sex education lessons, in a victory for transgender rights campaigners.

The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council as they try to tackle stigma around menstruation.

The new advice follows a council report which said: "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods", adding that "menstruation must be inclusive of all genders".

Bins used for menstruation products will be provided in all toilets for children, according to the report.

It also calls for transgender students and pupils to be provided with additional support from a school nurse if needed.

The report recommends that "language and learning about periods is inclusive of all genders, cultures, faiths and sexual orientations. For example; ‘girls and women and others who have periods'".

Brighton & Hove City Council said in a statement: "By encouraging effective education on menstruation and puberty, we hope to reduce stigma and ensure no child or young person feels shame in asking for period products inside or outside of school if they need them.

"We believe that it’s important for all genders to be able to learn and talk about menstruation together… Our approach recognises the fact that some people who have periods are trans or non-binary."

The same council also recently released a "Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit" to help teachers treat gender identity sensitively.

It asks teachers to be respectful and inclusive of children who are questioning their gender, and tells them that purposefully not referring to children by their preferred pronoun or name can constitute harassment.

The toolkit also recommends schools adopt a non-gendered uniform so all children feel included, and to reduce bullying.

Tory MP David Davies told The Mail on Sunday that it was "insanity" for teachers to tell pupils that transgender boys can have periods.

He said: "Learning about periods is already a difficult subject for children that age, so to throw in the idea girls who believe they are boys also have periods will leave them completely confused."

However, leading doctors have previously recommended that primary school children are taught about LGBT issues.

Earlier this year, the Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health (RCPCH) urged minister go further in their guidance on sex and relationship classes, which will become compulsory from 2020.

Draft Government recommendations say schools are free to determine how they address lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues, ensuring teaching is “sensitive and age-appropriate”.

The Royal College said: “There needs to be a clear statement that LGBT people and relationships are part of teaching about healthy relationships in primary school. This can be demonstrated in relation to families - but also it is helpful to children to learn the meaning of terms such as lesbian, gay and bisexual”.
If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

Yeah.....

Unfortunately the SJW movement have been gaining so weird victories as of late.

We will need to see how this one plays out though.

I suspect that the city council of Brighton is going to have to deal with some irritate parents now that this has hit the press.

Now something I must say on this though. While things like this happen. Many parents don't scream the house down. Mainly because much of the populace see this kind of thing as crap. The school can teach what they wish, yet parents still influence the beliefs of their children.

The British culture is still ingrained with a large amount of defiance against the system. Much of the populace does and will treat the establishment with suspicion and contempt. This has been a part of the fabric of the society for a very long time. So the impact of something like the subject of this story is different than the like in American society.

It is very hard to explain really. The culture here is so very different in many ways from the US.

This policy can be reacted to by the local community in multiple ways. The response is unpredictable. There may be outrage that will force the policy to be repealed or it might be seen as a joke to be laughed at. It will very likely be relegated to the joke of a stupid policy to be laughed at thing. Something that the few stupid people believe will make a difference. Yet most know will make no difference at all. Much of the laws and policies over here are treated that way by most of the populace.

We shall see.
