Great news on the global fight against gender extremism: Per new national guidelines, the United Kingdom will not require schools to use students’ preferred pronouns, but will require them to inform parents if a student wishes to change gender. 

Better still, restrooms, changing rooms and even some sports will be separated according to sex at birth.

This is the correct, science- and evidence-based approach — and it’s appalling that so many American educational, medical and media institutions still shriek that it’s literally killing children. 

No good evidence suggests that pediatric gender transition provides any real benefit to kids when they’re older. 

And the idea that biological men should be allowed in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms before heading onto the field of play to bash them around with impunity has nothing to do with science. 

It’s a political imperative of the woke left, pure and simple, a drive to abolish a fundamental fact, the sexual dimorphism of homo sapiens. 

The UK guidelines aren’t flawless, but they represent a massive step forward from the gender hysteria that has consumed the developed world over the past decade. 

In the United States, however, we remain mired in it. 

School districts across the country let teachers and staff socially transition kids with zero parental notification. 

Sports bodies invite biological males, i.e., trans women, who enjoy massive strength and size advantages, to compete against biological women. 

The American Medical Association wants to keep social transitions of kids secret; the American Academy of Pediatrics insanely recommends surgery and hormones for minors even as it admits it’s time for a systematic review of the evidence around them. 

“First do no harm”? Forget it. 

The new UK guidelines prove that victory against the woke cadres is possible. 

Rational people across America need to keep up the pressure on electeds and everyone else until they win the fight to keep kids safe.
