Whenever it seems that the tide is finally turning on the whole gender nonsense, along comes a story like this:

A film showing the use of cross-sex hormones and chest binders among teenagers is to be made available in state schools across the country as part of LGBTQ+ History month.

1 Year is a short documentary about Ben Hodge, a transgender teenager from Merseyside, as he transitions from female to male during his final year of school. use of cross-sex hormones and chest binders among teenagers is to be made available in state schools across the country as part of LGBTQ+ History month.

As she transitions. She. 

After detailing the bullying he was subjected to in his early teens, the film describes how at sixth-form ­college Hodge changed his name and began wearing chest binders before starting a course of cross-sex hormones following a referral to a gender identity clinic. 

And no doubt she lived happily ever after pretending to be a man, despite all the medical trauma, and the infertility, and the lifetime requirement for medical care.

This is just what impressionable kids shouldn't be exposed to. On social media is one thing, but this official endorsement takes the trans propaganda to another level.

A document for teachers says 1 Year is suitable for children aged 11 and over and suggests discussion points once they have watched it. But Lucy Marsh, of the Family Education Trust, said that showing the film, first released in 2020, to children as young as 11 represented a “huge ­safeguarding failure”. She said: “There is no ­mention of the serious, ­irreversible side-effects of taking testosterone or that its long-term use risks infertility. The film also encourages breast binding without explaining the serious potential health risks, which can include permanent nerve damage and rib fractures.

“We know from the Cass review that social contagion is a factor in the huge rise of children believing they are transgender and that there is no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of gender-affirming medical treatments.”

Dropping the "gender-affirming" label would be a good start.
