Schools - No teacher should be required to keep a child's transition secret from parents. If it is argued that parents "might be abusive" it has to be asked why safe-guarding procedures are not already underway regarding that parent. Schools may not independently brand parents "abusive" without evidencing procedures that they have taken against a parent they believe to be abusive.REMEMBER It only takes ONE teacher stating that they will not keep the secret to bring down the possibility of hiding transition from parents. #bethatteacher and encourage the teachers you know to be that teacher by being clear that you would support them in whatever capacity you have: parent, student, fellow-teacher.

@taylan If there's reason for such a suspicion, safeguarding procedures should already have been begun.

*Question for UK people*- have you read anything, or seen any events which mark 2023 as the bicentenary of the 1823 Goals Act (strongly associated with the work of Elizabeth Fry)?- Have your kids been taught about this bicentenary in school?- Quakers: have your local Friends Meeting group marked it, or do they intend to mark it before the end of the year?

Belgium could be about to have a Kathleen Stock moment. This guy wants a lecturer (as yet unnamed, but believed to be a gay man) to be named, shamed and removed. Lecturer's crime? He did not agree with the ranting chap's stickers.https://twitter.com/RoisinMichaux/status/1707282438919991635

Anyone got any tervacious suggestions for 'banned books' week?Needs to be a book that got an actual ban; not a 'soft ban'.

@ninapaley @Flick @LostInCalifornia draw with a biro around the edge of swelling as is. You can then see if it improves or gets worse. I hope it gets better soon. I have a swelling on my eye at the moment. I think some bug got me - but it's 2 nights ago now, so I really sympathise!

I was browsing some fashion plates from the 1870s and came across this one. I though that her colour scheme might be appreciated here:https://uritextilecollection.omeka.net/items/show/128
