Concerned Parents Association of London (CPAL) encourages all parents, educators, and policymakers to watch a vital discussion hosted by Genspect on YouTube featuring Dr.
Most parents haven't a clue about what is going on in our schools and have no reason to question gender ideology until they run smack into it and rightfully fear for the health and welfare and future of a captured child who actually believes one can be born in the 'wrong' body and believes through indoctrination that there really is a way to alter that body into the 'right' one. The consequences go far beyond just that child, tragic as that may be. I recommend reading (thousands, if you so wish) the anecdotal cases through PITT (Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans) to see typical effects. Yet the London Board continues to follow the policy of hiding vital mental health issues of real children from real parents in the name of having greater care and concern about these children than the parents. This is how captured the 'educators' are (insert the correct term 'indoctrinators').
It is the policy makers and professional training and oversight bodies who push this ideology into every nook and cranny of public education starting with the flagpole. Teachers are just the tools and many of those who decline to go along with the ideology soon end up outside the profession. One branch of this activist ideology - there are many branches - is based on a belief that 'gender' is both real yet different from sex in mysterious ways but rightly subject to medical intervention and lifelong reliance on it as if this were a rational and reasonable solution to prepubescent discomfort about puberty. It's a belief that insists reality is wrong and those who disagree with this belief are morally suspect. The set of beliefs are malignant and toxic to social cohesion. The fundamental unit of that cohesion is the family. So parents rarely understand why this is so dangerous in practice because, by the time they do understand this on a personal level, the choice is to either be categorized and treated as Very Bad People or go along with the charade to get along. The cost is to see their child's mind subsumed by this delusional fantasy and, by believing reality is wrong and the family as enemy to the beliefs, be vulnerable to life-long and very serious medicalization trying to alter it by mutilating the physical body, altering its chemical composition to be at perpetual war with reality, and accepting sterility and side effects as just the cost of doing business. Genspect does a really good job providing knowledge about this ideology in practice and how it affects children. Mia Hughes is also another excellent source.
Public education enrollment is bleeding numbers and affecting transfer funds. These policies play their part.
Thank you for this deeply insightful and honest reflection. You’ve captured what so many parents only realize too late — that gender ideology doesn’t knock politely on the front door; it’s already inside the school system, normalized through policy, symbols, and language long before most families become aware of its impact.
You’re right: the consequences stretch far beyond the individual child. When trust between parent and school is deliberately broken in the name of “affirmation,” we’re not just failing that child — we’re undermining the very fabric of family, informed consent, and mental health care.
At CPAL, we’ve heard heartbreaking stories from local parents who only discovered what their children were being taught after damage had been done. Policies that conceal distress or social transition from parents are not neutral — they are acts of ideological overreach that disregard the wisdom, rights, and love of families.
We deeply appreciate your mention of PITT, Genspect, and Mia Hughes — all invaluable resources for those seeking clarity, courage, and community in the face of institutional capture. Our goal at CPAL is to keep raising awareness at the local level while connecting the dots to these broader ideological frameworks — and yes, as you said, it often begins at the flagpole.
Thank you again for contributing to this discussion. The more voices like yours that speak truth plainly and unapologetically, the harder it becomes for this ideology to hide behind euphemisms and policy shields.
