🆕🚨 New statutory Relationships and Sex Education guidance published today will: - Restrict schools from using materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" - Teaches children the laws about "biological sex" - Removes all references to the word transgender What we know so far 🧵

Funny how much "encouraging pupils to question their gender" sounds like Section 28's "promoting homosexuality".
