"UK Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch met with transphobic group LGB Alliance, who campaign against gender being discussed in schools, government disclosures reveal."
The official response:
"A government Equality Hub spokesperson said: "The Government consulted extensively as part of its work on the Gender Recognition Act. That is why the GEO [Government Equalities Office] and its ministerial team met with more than 140 stakeholders, and it was entirely appropriate that views from all sides of the debate were heard.”"
Nice for one's existence to be a matter of debate, isn't it? Absolutely no echoes of Section 28 here, nope! /s

@FreyaManibrandr Sadly so. This is but one in such a long line of overly transmisic acts by the Tories, so readily attracted to bigotry and money - in this case, the Heritage Foundation, behind the so-called LGB Alliance.
