The United Kingdom's Department of Education has published its updated guidance for "Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026" (KCSIE) and it will take effect on September 1. However, the guidance is likely to put trans and gender-non-conforming children at greater risk.

"We criticise numerous aspects of the guidance, especially as to how schools should approach requests related to 'social transition,'" The Good Law Project wrote in a statement responding to the draft guidance earlier this year. "We also emphasise its failure to properly explain how schools should accommodate the needs of trans pupils in accessing various aspects of school life, such as toilets, changing facilities, and sports."

Last year, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court ruled that, for the purposes of the 2010 Equality Act, the legal definition of "woman" is based on "biological sex." In the aftermath, the Equality and Human Rights Commission released temporary guidance on barring trans people from single-sex spaces. They've now released their finalized plan, which says that businesses and institutions should prevent trans people using a single-sex spaces, and that if they allow trans people to use them, they will no longer be considered single-sex spaces.

The aggressive new schools guidance set out in KCSIE is set to comply with the EHRC's updated policies around single-sex spaces, ruling that trans and gender-questioning children cannot use spaces aligned with their gender identity, even if they have socially transitioned.

I think I would get a note from my parents excusing a bathroom break at home after every class.

If you won't provide a place to pee, I'll go home.
If I can't go home, get a mop because you are going to need one. Every. Single. Day.

Malicious Compliance.
