From ladies standing in central Glasgow in bloody knickers, to a 'horny' trans pillow for toddlers to embrace the bandwidth of what is appropriate for children has radically shifted to the detriment of children. In the midst of this the UN…

In this podcast I look at how self id is being implemented in education specifically in Glasgow nurseries. I tell a story of a 4 year old who comes home from nursery distressed about a 'man woman' in the pre-school and her mother told they will 're-educate her' to adjust. Are basing laws on a lie a good way to legislate? There are worrying moves as…
