Teacher sacked for refusing to call a girl a boy

A primary school teacher in Birmingham sacked for refusing to use male pronouns for an eight-year-old girl placed in her class will fight a legal test case against school governors, arguing the school’s “transgender affirming” policies could harm children.

The teacher was suspended for several weeks last autumn after refusing to use male pronouns and a male name for a pupil who had been placed in her year 4 class. She argued that it could cause harm to such a young child to unquestioningly encourage the belief that she was “in the wrong body”.

After continuing to challenge the school’s transgender policies, which included letting the child wear a boy’s uniform and to use the boys’ lavatories and changing rooms, she was sacked this year. The teacher, who is appealing against the dismissal, said: “Children are being experimented on, and schools are silencing teachers who disagree with the policy of simply accepting that if parents ask for a child to be treated as the opposite sex, they must go along with that.”

Journalist Jo Bartosch: "There's a lot of kudos at the moment in having a child that identifies as trans, and I don't think that can be a reason why so many parents are transitioning their children.

"Children don't know. It's part of being a child. Part of being an adult is teaching a child what's real and what isn't."
