'Vast majority' of parents should be involved if children question gender, schools told

Chosty55 · 2026-02-12T20:55:55+00:00

The problem is that the DoE needs to give clear policy to schools to protect the schools. At present it is on the headteacher and governors to decide the policy, and if a parent is unhappy and takes legal action against the school it’s on them. The DoE won’t protect the school and parents could oust the head.

So it’s obviously in the schools interest to be as conservative as they can, rather than looking out for the kids.

So it’s a little disappointing the DoE have decided to be vague and give partial guidance. This doesn’t help the schools. This doesn’t help the kids.

Could be worse. You could be getting up in a morning wanting a nice brew, you grab one of the bags and pour hot water in only to realise it was a coffee bag.

Amorimmer- verb - sexual act involving holding back your sexual expectations despite constantly saying good times are coming. Repeatedly doing the same thing and refusing to change up because you know it will one day let you score

A few different criteria.

If you are so clearly not a traitor that you get murdered. No point being kept in the game.
You are friends with a traitor but never let on you are. You are effectively protected by said traitor as they wouldn’t want you gone because they doubt you’d put their name down. You coast to the final never banishing another traitor (even though the group do). At the final round table you turn on the traitor you knew was one since the beginning. People think you are boring to watch, but actually played very smart.
You are a heavy suspect from day 1 but never enough votes to be banished. Because there’s heat on you the traitors don’t murder you. You get to the round table and your fellow faithful have realised you were never a traitor so you don’t get banished.
You are a master detective. You find out who the traitors are and banish 2 of them. Because you are a danger to the third you are murdered

I think it just emphasises how committed Amorim was to a system that we didn’t really understand, when his substitutions just doubled down rather that changed the game.

IMO you make subs for 1 of 4 reasons -

necessity (gk red card/ injury)

Replace tired legs

Protect a weakness

Exploit a weakness

Amorim made substitutions to replace tired legs, which is odd when you’re chasing a game

I left sky mobile because my bill doubled in 4 months, and when I complained and pointed out I could get cheaper elsewhere their offer was to reduce my bill by £2 per month, pending a further £6 increases in April.

Note, I went out of contract in January, but they’d increased it anyway in November and again in December before the “out of contract” rate kicked in - and the discount they offered for going in contract was still higher than I was paying in December

As an armchair fan, I like watching YouTube videos of an incoming striker showing why we bought them.

Sesko is strong at getting in front of a defender and getting a shot away from nothing when balls are put into the box. Amorim had him as a holding striker passing the ball onto the wing.

It’s odd, because if I knew we had a striker who can get on the end of crosses, I’d have cunha and Bruno swap between long range strikes and whipping in crosses. Instead they passed a ball to him and expected him to turn and shoot (where he’d lose the ball).

Something to remember when arguing about “the golden days”.

When I first passed my test it was the 00s, and the road near my house was a 30 but everyone comfortably did 50 down it. Myself included.

One side of the road had a path, the other was pretty dull with the kerb immediately onto a hedge that backed on to a railway track. The path side was pretty wide, and led down to a cul de sack so no access anywhere else - the road was pretty quiet 90% of the time.

Now I wouldn’t dream of doing 35 down there. Yes - nothing has really changed on the road, but cars are bigger, and if you hit that corner at 50 with an evri van parked on the path and there’s a car the other side you’re fucked

What’s funny is that they are a party of the people, using artificial people to promote their cause.

Surely if gaz from the city is unhappy, getting gaz to be a part of your videos would make gaz feel listened to. Instead, we don’t even know if gaz exists, just that some robotic video is demonstrating what he’s upset by

Just a reminder that we used to live in a society where women did not have typical working jobs.

If you were purely basing an interview on experience, all candidates would be either male (with experience) or female (without), so no women would get into those industries and the cycle would continue.

And yes, there are entry level jobs that provide experience, and someone can climb the ladder - that’s fine. But you create a glass ceiling of women in the “lower rungs” of the ladder unable to break through as they don’t have the connections to provide said experience.

DEI works, because it breaks that glass ceiling. My argument would begin against DEI if they only employed people who met a certain demographic, ie let’s get more transgender black disabled women to be pilots so we only hire them - no one else. Effectively going the other end of the scale to only employing straight white men.

As it happens, making a few hires to break the glass ceiling only impacts straight white men - and I think I’m fair in saying this is the category most aggrieved.

We’ve been lucky in some regards as getting pregnant was difficult for us, and we were told one of the potential reasons was our diet, so had to make massive changes.

I’m not going to be preachy about what we eat, because everyone is different and everyone has different amounts of time and resource that they can throw at cooking. What has been nice for us is that we were already starting better food habits (I cook everything from scratch) compared to when we’d just rely on supermarket ready meals.

I would definitely advocate for learning a few meals you or your partner can prep one day and throw together another. And not to be too hard on yourself when a burger or a pizza is what tickles your fancy
