– Kids as Young as Four Can Now Change Gender in Scottish Schools Without Parental Consent:
Children in Scotland as young as four years old are now able to change their names and genders at schools without requiring parental consent, The Telegraph reported.
A 70-page document issued on Thursday states that under new LGBTQ+ inclusivity guidelines created by the Scottish government, teachers are now urged not to question their students if they indicate a wish to transition genders. Instead, teachers are urged to ask for the students’ new names and pronouns.
Along with these guidelines, schools have been told that transgender students should use whatever bathroom or locker room they prefer. The creation of more gender-neutral uniforms and inclusion of transgender characters in lessons and reading materials are being developed.
John Swinney, the deputy first minister, said in a statement in July that Scotland is already considered one of the most progressive nations in Europe.
