Eight-year-old pupils to be told ‘boys can have periods too’ under new sex education lessons guidelines
by Sanchez Manning, Mailonline:
Sex education lessons in which pupils as young as eight will be told ‘all genders’ have periods were yesterday condemned as unnecessarily confusing for young children.
The classes follow guidelines that were issued to teachers to help them avoid offending girls who identify as boys.
But critics described the guidelines as inappropriate and another example of political correctness gone mad.
The teacher guidance, from Brighton & Hove City Council, states: ‘Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods.’ It says language about menstruation must be inclusive of ‘all genders’ and orders that ‘bins for used period products are provided in all toilets’ for children.
But Tory MP David Davies described it as ‘insanity’ for teachers to be explaining the concept of transgender boys having periods to eight-year-olds.
