64% of young people considering gender transition are bullied in Britain’s schools; 80% have self-harmed; 40% have attempted to take their own life. Thank you @BBCr4today for interviewing me this morning around this vital safeguarding responsibly for every school.
@SteveChalke @BBCr4today Hi Steve -- what is the source for these? As we know from the Samaritans guidelines suicide is almost never the result of one cause - so are we talking about doing further damage to already damaged children?
@JustinOnWeb @BBCr4today Hi Justin. The slide from a PowerPoint presentation at our 2021 conference, with quotes from young people, and the source - Stonewall’s 2017 School Report.
@SteveChalke @BBCr4today Thanks for replying Steve. Will get in touch privately but worth saying publicly the BBC and other responsible organisations cut their ties with Stonewall because of this kind of claim - widely challenged for instance here transgendertrend.com/stonewall-scho…
@JustinOnWeb @SteveChalke @BBCr4today Go Justin go.. Great stuff.
