I worry about kids who innocently ask a GC question at school, will it be a stain on their record, will it affect them getting into uni or jobs?
I saw a tweet earlier where someone's friend is a bus driver and 'misgendered' a man who wears a skirt, in conversation where that person wasn't present. They were corrected by someone and the bus driver said no, the guy is a man, not a woman. Anyway, days later some important driver paperwork of his had gone 'missing' and he has to go on compulsory trans awareness training.

Anyway, I find this sending people onto compulsory awareness training sinister, again, does it become a stain on record? Don't get me wrong I think we should have refreshers every so often about not being racists, sexist, classist, homophobic etc, as true awareness of social issues, but the thought policing of telling lies about biology is scary. The TRA training is becoming totalitarian.
Edit To Add: it's this threat of choke holding people's economics (like here with the drivers paperwork going missing, or threat of sacking for being GC) that really worries me.
If ever there was an argument for parents to keep kids off social media for as long as possible... now would be a good time but I can see how much pressure parents are under when most kids get iphones at younger and younger ages.
