We Must Expel The Transphobic Toddlers Before They Literally Murder Again

Gender ideology always indoctrinates through punishment

At least 178 children were “suspended or expelled” from primary and state schools across the UK “for homophobic or transphobic behaviour” during the 2022-23 school year.

According to Department for Education data, a three or four year-old child — a literal toddler — was suspended for “abuse against sexual orientation and gender identity” in that time span.

Statistics indicate 94 pupils at similar primary institutions were suspended or permanently excluded for transphobia or homophobia in the same year.

This included ten pupils from Year 1 and three from Year 2, where the maximum age was seven, and one child was of nursery age.

Of course, both terms are utterly subjective. If one toddler, a boy, tells another toddler, also a boy, that boys don’t play with dolls, is it homophobic or transphobic? It can be both, or either, which is so very convenient for ideological zealots.

A six-year-old boy’s parents were warned that their son would be deemed “transphobic” if he said anything about a male classmate wearing a dress. Another school told a couple that their sons could be deemed “transphobic” if they displayed “an inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ‘real’ female or male.”

Forcing children that young to ignore their instincts and lie, to use the adopted name and pronouns, or else lose their largest peer group, is child abuse. Gender ideology systematizes the mental abuse of children.

Last week, the University of Sussex was fined £585,000 by its regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), for “failing to uphold freedom of speech.” The OfS case began with Professor Kathleen Stock, who suffered harassment and campus cancellation for daring to say that men are not women. She resigned in 2021.

“The fine is the largest issued to a university and is likely to be seen as an intention to hold the line over the expression of legal views,” writes the BBC Education Editor. OfS reportedly found four elements of the University’s policy “concerning.” They were “a requirement for course materials to ‘positively represent trans people and trans lives’ and an assertion that ‘transphobic propaganda… [would] not be tolerated.’”

But what counts as “transphobic propaganda”? As anyone who pays attention to these issues has learned, plainly stating the reality of dimorphic human sex is always deemed “transphobic propaganda.” The phrase ‘men are not women’ is always too much for genderwoo activism to bear. Questioning such neologisms as ‘nonbinary’ is treated as hate speech.

The directive to “positively represent trans people and trans lives” rules out any number of discussions. Just to mention the existence of detransition, for example, is to undermine the positive image of trans people and their lives. Could Sussex University even survive a seminar on autogynephilia, or would the children burn everything?

I use the word “children” deliberately. Whereas gender ideology holds toddlers to adult levels of responsibility for normal toddler words and actions, at the highest education levels, gender ideology enables a mob of toddlers to take over, compelling the adults to leave the room.

Vice-chancellor Prof. Sasha Roseneil called the OfS ruling “unreasonably absolutist definition of free speech” and vowed to challenge it in court. She complained that OfS had conducted a “vindictive and unreasonable campaign” against the University of Sussex by reading documentation rather than interviewing her august self.

Roseneil worries that the university will be “powerless to prevent abusive, bullying and harassing speech” — which, again, can mean whatever it needs to mean in order to shut people up, as long as you are not “absolutist” about what “free” means for the speaker.

“Hubris isn’t a good look,” Professor Jo Phoenix tweeted. “Are they being advised by the same barrister that advised” the Open University in her 2024 employment tribunal, which Phoenix won, she wonders?

Janice Turner writes in The Times that the true cost of sex denialism in the UK is already getting quite high. The indoctrination continues, but “a lawyer tells me that while previously senior managers preferred to lose a tribunal case than have a showdown with their vengeful LGBT staff network, times and the economy have changed. Gender ideology is creating big red numbers that show up on the bottom line.”

As it happens, I am interviewing someone for a podcast today in which we will discuss an American campus that has been the scene of much discontent for the last two years. Protest culture made its comeback on campus in 2014, at the beginning of the Woke Decade, and transgender organizing was always at the forefront of the “wokening.”

The impossible phrase “Queers for Palestine” summarizes how the pastel flags have wrapped themselves around the omnicause, all the progressive projects being rolled into one great mass to form a political singularity, like the video game Katamari Damacy.

More to the point, pull away any single thread of this omnicause, and the whole project threatens to unravel. This is why transgender ideology enjoys such tremendous power to activate the woke causes unto itself. Mess with the pink and blue flag, and you awaken the organizational beasts, because no part of the omnicause can be sacrificed, especially not this one.

I recently talked to Almut Gadow, a law lecturer who settled her own employment discrimination case with Open University. Along with Jo Phoenix, she is one of four professors to either win or settle litigation with OU. As she explained in our podcast, her questions about the new woke program on campus were treated routinely — until she asked about LGBTQ+ issues and the law, at which point minds snapped shut.

Put another way, they acted like infants. Gender ideology is the most infantilizing ideology. It makes chronological adults act like diaper babies. Unable to countenance being wrong, they turn into children. They don’t care about money or other costs of wokeness. They just want what they want, so they try screaming until they are appeased.
