Local authorities across Britain started asking parents to specify their three-year-olds gender identity on school admission forms which is way beyond just marking their birth sex
Over 100 councils use forms where parents must pick between man/boy/male woman/girl/female options; or choose self-describe category (with extra details needed about their kids gender-identity)
A nation-wide system supplied by third-party company processed these forms for about half-a-million school applications back in 21ʼ Now its only used for next years intake after software updates
It has no place on the form with regard to three year-olds on any level
The forms spread across different UK regions including North-England and London areas. Martin Tett who leads Buckinghamshire council as a Conservative called it totally wrong and wants it gone
Caroline Ffiske from Conservatives for Women group thinks its mind-boggling to ask such things from pre-school kids. While Maya Forstater who runs Sex Matters charity points out that kids that age just start learning boy-girl differences; putting grown-up trans ideas in their heads dont make sense
- Forms ask to pick between male/female options
- Self-describe choice needs more details
- Over 550000 applications used these forms
- System covers many UK regions
The whole thing made lots of parents worried about what kind of stuff schools might teach based on these admission papers
