Two young teens in England published an anonymous letter to their education secretary indicating that they were “too frightened” to tell their classmates that there are only two genders. For a world that ostracizes you for holding traditional values or for not fully embracing "wokesim," I don’t blame them.
Supposedly the 14-year-old girls wrote a letter to Gillian Keegan and insisted that they want her to recognize “what it’s like in a school environment where dissenting voices are stifled” and “extreme ideologies are presented as fact,” the Telegraph noted.
The girls wrote that they weren’t alone in feeling “ostracisation and bullying from students who adopt the authoritarian dogma of gender ideology” and pointed out that in classes, even teachers push the leftist talking points. Supposedly teachers claimed that the Greek god of Zeus was “non-binary” and that Lady Macbeth was “gender-fluid.”
What a joke!
The girls mentioned how there’s an “immense pressure” among their peers to adopt and affirm the “popularly-held views” of the woke mob, regardless of whether they agree with them or not, which has facilitated their fear in speaking up.
Supposedly, the letter is a result of a recording of a teacher at Rye College in East Sussex who told students they were “despicable” for mentioning that they believed there were only two genders after a different student said they identified as a cat.
“It’s not an opinion that we express in this school, and if you don’t like it, you can go to a different school,” the teacher reportedly told the students who actually affirmed biological fact.
I’m gonna guess the teacher wasn’t a science professor.

Reportedly, the teacher hasn’t been in lessons as of late, but the remarks still ricochet and affect the young teens who penned the complaint in England.
“A lot of us are too afraid to speak out due to fear of the consequences, and this must change so that different opinions are allowed to be heard, even on divisive topics such as this one,” they wrote. “There have been many cases of students being bullied and ostracized for disagreeing with gender ideology, where gender-critical pupils are punished by teachers, excluded by students, and abandoned by friends.”
For kids of this age, it’s hard to see the bigger picture in life and recognize the fact that most high school relationships and friendships are temporary. For these young girls, cradling those friendships is likely a top priority. And since they’ve seen peer’s get “excluded” and “abandoned” by friends, it's no surprise these girls are fearful to speak their minds.
Tracy Shaw of Safe Schools Alliance noted the following in support of the girls’ letter:
This articulate and heartfelt letter from these two girls supports what we have been saying for a long time. That the culture in many schools needs to be addressed top down.We want The Department for Education to show some leadership here and put a stop to wholesale ideological capture of education. We cannot have a society where teenage girls are scared to speak the truth and are afraid to demand their rights to dignity, safety, and privacy.
Mic drop. Time will tell if the letter encourages teachers and the education system in England to make noticeable changes in polices. For a mob that focuses on “inclusion” and “acceptance,” it appears that for individuals who don’t affirm every delusion, that “inclusion” doesn’t apply to them.
