The Church of England wants to stop transphobic bullying and people are angry
New guidance from the Church of England has caused controversy for its inclusive stance on transgender and non-binary children.
The guidance entitled Valuing all Gods children is an update to the Church of Englands earlier work on tackling homophobic bullying.
The guidelines were given to the 4,700 schools overseen by the Church.
The update includes advice on combatting transphobic bullying and advice to teachers on allowing children to express themselves, particularly through dress-up and play.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said in the update: All bullying, including homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying causes profound damage.
We must avoid, at all costs, diminishing the dignity of any individual to a stereotype or a problem.
