I am delighted to be able to contribute to the excellent work of The National College, and equally proud to celebrate the work of educators everywhere.

I sympathise and agree entirely Debra, a simple ruling is not enough, we need a sea change in public opinion, which needs to start with Education.

This is not an interpretation that respects the rights of everyone. Those of us with transgender children are now being asked questions like 'why does the whole world hate us' and 'am I going to be beaten up if I try to go to the toilet?' and 'do you think someone will hate me enough to kill me?'

I doubt we will see clear guidance anytime soon. Instead we will have 100 schools implementing 100 different responses. It will be a mess of court cases and appeals for months or years.

In the meantime young people will suffer being political footballs for adults fighting.
