If you're a parent with kids at school in Edinburgh it's time to get in touch with your school admin and make clear you will not accept them bullying trans kids out of education.

This is cruel and discriminatory behaviour. Child cruelty.

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. I’m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project
The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.
