Kemi Badenoch has expressed her concerns over trans rights, as it may affect children.
British-Nigerian woman and politician, Kemi Badenoch has warned that teaching children they can be born in the wrong body is “harmful”.
Kemi is serving as the Secretary of State for Business and Trade in the UK.
She spoke out after the Government launched a long-awaited crackdown on the spread of ‘contested and confused’ gender ideology in schools.
Also, she said the worst of the ‘toxic’ debate over trans rights has been played out in classrooms, with parents shut out as pupils have changed their names and uniforms.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Mrs Badenoch pledges that guidelines published yesterday will protect young people and provide teachers with much-needed clarity.
She also vowed to fight for free speech, saying those who seek to “force’ terminology on others, compelling them to follow an ideology, show a lack of tolerance.
However, Kemi Badenoch admits the guidance will be opposed by activist groups who are already telling schools to ignore it.
Additionally, she insists to frustrated Tory colleagues that tougher action could not be taken without time-consuming new laws.
“Unlike the opposition Labour Party, this Government does not duck the hard questions or the difficult issues.
