UK Toddler Suspended for ‘Transphobia’

A toddler, only three or four years old, was booted from his UK nursery school for alleged “transphobia.” And no, that’s not satire.

More specifically, according to The Daily Mail, this baby was accused of “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity.” Whatever in Hades that means. Apparently we don’t know what “transphobic” act was so terrible on the little kid’s part that he was kicked out.

[Daily Mail] Statistics indicate 94 pupils at similar primary institutions were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia or homophobia in [2022-2023]…This included ten pupils from Year 1 and three from Year 2, where the maximum age was seven, and one child was of nursery age…Across all primary schools and state schools, the number of pupils suspended or expelled for homophobic or transphobic behaviour increased from 164 in 2021-22 to 178 in 2022-23.

The largest number of suspensions for this reason in 2022-23 was in Essex, with 16, followed by Birmingham, 15, Bradford, 11 and Norfolk, eight.

Free Speech Union Director Lord Young observed, “I would have thought that if your ideology is so rigid it justifies you punishing toddlers for not complying with it, that's a powerful argument for discarding it in favour of something less dogmatic.”

And JK Rowling, who for all she became famous for writing fantasy is far more grounded in reality than most of her critics, truly said, “This is totalitarian insanity. If you think small children should be punished for being able to recognise sex, you are a dangerous zealot who should be nowhere near kids or in any position of authority over them.”
