A small correction. Resist Gender Education has also published guidelines for schools about sex and gender policies. While they are broadly the same as those from Ethos, they differ on one key point. RGE advocates for NO social transition in schools, even with parental consent. We think schools should hold a neutral space where no ideology is celebrated and no child is expected to agree that another person has actually changed sex.
Thank you Yvonne, I am considerably more enlightened after reading your article. It sounds like Ethos is force for good although I do like RGE’s stronger stance on the total nonsense of gender transitioning. Are science teachers disciplined for asserting the reality of gravity? For surely gravity is just a fluid concept like gender? One day we’ll look back at this madness and I just hope all those weak leaders who helped facilitate this perversion will be held to account. Not holding my breath though.
I agree Just Boris. When I first heard about this ideology I thought ‘oh that won’t last. All it will take is one science teacher to explain the reality of biological sex, and the bubble will be burst .’ But did they? Did they ‘eck as like. The silence of people who knew better tells you a lot about the power of social pressure.
Social pressure indeed is a major factor. People are too scared, but what they are exactly scared of is interesting. Mostly they are scared of the mob. Plenty of historical precedents for this. It takes bravery to stand up against the masses, to be a bit like Bonhoeffer.
But the prior appeal to the masses is worth reflection. Trans activists have exploited the kindness of western society. Many well-meaning people have succumbed because they don't want to be mean. They also don't want to be SEEN as being mean. "Poor trans kids, surely they need us to empower them...." Who doesn't want to help kids who are 'suicidal'? (Ignore the reality, react to the narrative...). Same works for the f-wits pushing a 'bad Israel' narrative, cos 'who doesn't want to stop children being bombed?' 'It is true, we saw it on the BBC or in the Guardian'.
Global Boiling is the same. 'Of course we care about the planet' so carbon dioxide becomes the bad guy. Ignore the science, just react like 'nice people' are expected to act.
Islamic immigration, same story. BLM, same BS. Indigenous rights, same hoodwinking ('nasty colonisers'...).
It is only when people are directly affected that they realise 'being perceived as nice' is not longer the most important thing. When a trans weirdo (aka sicko pervy bloke) sidles up to daughter in the public loos. Your Devonport party appearance and fake concern for left wing causes suddenly takes second seat to protecting your family. Sadly it is virtually too late when all these ignorant people finally wake up.
So many thanks to the likes of yourself, Lindsay Mitchell, Muriel Newman, Ani O-Brien (to keep with the girls theme cos Boris knows what a woman is...) and many others who dig a bit deeper to find some truth.
Thank you. I’m proud to be counted amongst the writers you list and I share your frustration about the simplistic Manichean portrayal of many current issues - Israel, immigration, indigenous rights and climate change etc. My only consolation is the knowledge that many of us have lost faith in the media and arę looking for more complex responses.

Thanks for that RSE. I agree with your stance wholeheartedly.
Thanks Yvonne - I was wondering who Ethos Alliance was. Good to see them joining the fight against the current madness 💪
