Teachers in England and Wales are being put under pressure at school to keep quiet about the reality of biological sex, a senior government minister has claimed.
Speaking on condition of anonymity to the Mail on Sunday, the minister said teaching staff have complained that schools are preventing them from following the government’s legal advice in the absence of clear guidance from the Department for Education (DfE).
Last year, the then attorney general Suella Braverman made it clear that teachers could, for example, stop a male child who identifies as a trans girl from using girls’ changing rooms or taking part in single-sex sporting activities.
