Mr Fletcher said his letter was designed to "set out his position" on gender identity
His letter states that "boys are boys and girls are girls", and the media glamorises a "transgender lifestyle".It was also criticised by the former boss of an LGBTQ+ youth charity, who said the comments "deny the existence" of transgender teens and could harm their mental health.His letter asks schools to confirm their position on the matter before going on to outline his own.
Mr Fletcher acknowledges that some may disagree with him, but suggests that children who would previously have been dubbed Tomboys or similar may now wrongly be led to believe they are transgender. "Or to discuss the fact that teachers have had a real-term pay cut. Or to talk about the stress that pupils are under doing SATS."I don't think we need advice from [him] on how to deal with this single issue," he added.

Just let kids be what they want to be and they will figure it out when they get older. As long as they are happy who cares🤷
He’s probably right for majority
That’s not exactly what he said though is it? You’ve put your own spin on it
Fortunately being a Tory MP is just a phase, let's hope NickFletcherMP gets through it quickly and is replaced by someone who cares about the mental health of young people rather than pushing a bigoted outdated uninformed opinion.
Exactly right. My child wanted to be a cow for a few days
He's right
Conservative now the party of discrimination
Wow a politician with sense.
Let them be who they are. This is moving into 1980s Section 28 territory.
The phase of life
Must be still in his.
I remember girls in my school identifying as tom boys All married now
He's right and the parents need to wake up, not WOKE up! Let the children reach adolescence before teaching them about all this pathetic crap. There are 2, two, TWO genders, anything else is a mental problem!
Stop confusing the crap out of our kids please!
And
I’ve been watching some of the YT videos by detransitioners. Heartbreaking to watch. They get caught up in this as teenagers and then go on to have irreversible surgery which they later hugely regret in their twenties. I suspect for most, it is exactly that, a phase.
He's right of course But the woke msm will tear him a new one You can't speak the truth these days and expect to keep your job
Childhood is a once in a life time experience that lives with you for the rest of your life. I still remember the pain I suffered as a gay man in an homophobic school. Straight white adult MPs who have no personal experience of the subject should reflect on what they say!
There are no trans children.
Just a trend, latest fashion. Why was it not happening 5 -10 years ago? Because it is social media led
There are no trans children. They are just children. Let them grow up, be adults and decide.
No such thing as trans children.
Coming from a man who obviously identifies as Will from the Inbetweeners !!
Not a phase, it’s just kids growing up to be what they are. But the more we single out those we deem different, the more stress is put on them to choose a path. Just let them be, until they’re old enough & educated enough to be what they want
What a load of bollocks or not as the case may be. Am sick of the BBC and it’s wokeness.
Well said Nick
Why are children basing their gender on made up social constructs though, why is the education system and common sense failing them so much?. Are they being groomed or something?
He is very probably right.
I hate to say This ...... but here I go . . . ' this ' well that wasnt so bad was it ?
Gross negligence of power shame shame shame🧿
Of course it’s a phase. Any part of one’s development over a lifetime counts as such. And it’s impossible to see the whole from the perspective of a part.
At last an MP actually utters something vaguely sensible.
What an obnoxious and narrow minded view that only fuels homophobia - obviously blocked to value diversity and accept that the truth is a spectrum not just one end or the other
Tit
Very well could be seeing as kids have been doing this kind of thing forever..
I told you Mary, England has Ignorant backward people just like we have in America. Only we have more.
OMFG!!!!
I'm currently going through a phase of thinking NickFletcherMP is a f*cking d*ckhead. I can't see it ending anytime soon. By soon, I mean ever.
As pessoas estão se desviando da originalidade,foi criado o homem e a mulher e ponto…estão honrando a criatura não o criador,estão violando a criação e os mercenários lucrando com isso. Sejamos sóbrios e atentos com nossos adversários.
Mexico1978R Spot on. Anyone who says otherwise is a child abuser.
Not quite, just a surge of freak adults letting loose their inner mental issues on kids.
He’s right
A phase that f**cked me up for 53 years. Tosser.
I agree with Mr Fletcher
THis is the work of the UN 2030 agenda to lower the worlds population . I truly believe .
It may or may not be a phase, but giving life changing “treatment” to children just in case it’s not just a phase is morally wrong.
Based on historical statistics that is the most likely case. This is one of the reasons that the attempt by TRAs to ban explorative therapy under the misrepresentation that it is conversion therapy is really disgusting.
He’s right
Well said 👏
Oh yeah, this guy. His opinions are worth nothing.
Not only going through a phase the so called parents are as mad as a box of frogs
And schools are harming vulnerable young people by pandering to trans dogma
You are not female if you still have male sexual organs. No matter how you feel. With possibly a few exceptions - born in the wrong body. It does seem to exist. That's my view. Can I have one?
And he’s right.
That shouldn’t be discounted though should it?
Well done nick someone with some sense at last
Nick fletcher MP is a dinosaur!
His head will be on the chopping block now for talking common sense.
That will be a fact for95% of kids.
The reason that trans people experience huge mental health problems is because they are literally mental. You dont go normalizing something so nuts, the line of crazy will forever shifts to crazier, thats how crazy works.
According to a person who slept through science class and went into politics for lack of useful skills, endocrinology is made-up fancy talk. Fixed your headline for you.
Another Conservatives MP losing his seat at the next election!

Hong Kong was acquired by Britain holding a gun to China's head, so China can say it was never a British colony on same basis. BTW, Opium Wars.
