4 year-olds asked to choose their gender

A city in England has sent a letter to parents of children just starting school asking the four-year-olds to “choose” their gender.   Parents were then instructed to “Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with.”

From Parents blast council after kids told to choose their gender:

ANGRY parents have blasted a council that wants kids as young as four to choose the gender “they most identify with” before starting school.

It wrote to parents urging them to support their child’s choice of “gender identity” in a letter confirming primary school places this week.

And it asked them to leave the gender section of a form blank if their child had “another gender identity” altogether. The letter was sent to thousands of parents preparing to send kids to new schools later this year.

Brighton and Hove City Council wrote: “We recognise that not all children and young people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth or may identify as a gender other than male or female, however the current systems (set nationally) only record gender as male or female.

“Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with.

“Or if they have another gender identity please leave this blank and discuss with your child’s school.”. . .

The council’s move came just months after it sent pupils at Blatchington Mill School in Hove a gender survey with 25 options to choose from.
