Expresses concern over the promotion of social transitioning in schools, noting that one in fifteen children now identify as a different gender to their biological sex. Argues that such practices are being imposed from the top down and constitute political indoctrination. Calls for immediate action to protect children's innocence and safeguard them from adult complexities until they reach an appropriate age.

Trans and non-binary people have always existed, with gender dysphoria recognised internationally for decades. Coming out is often extremely difficult, leading to high levels of mental illness and suicide. Schools are experienced in handling social transitioning sensitively and professionally. This Bill would force young people to live in their birth-assigned gender, even when they have parental support to transition. Parents face impossible choices regarding their child's education and mental health. The Bill could out LGBT students against their will, leading to homelessness for many who face family rejection. The Albert Kennedy Trust has seen a 70% increase in referrals from homeless LGBT young people worried about coming out due to familial hostility.

Ms Winterton briefly requested the Serjeant to ensure everything is in order for the division, without providing further details or opinions on the debate topic.
