Stonewall has been criticised for claiming that children as young as two can recognise if they are transgender and that nurseries should teach that idea.
The row was triggered when the LGBT charity shared an article on social media headlined ‘My 4-year-old is gender nonconforming – but her nursery doesn’t respect that.’
The account, published by Metro online, was written by an anonymous trans man who claims that his daughter believes she is a boy.
Director of campaign group Transgender Trend, Stephanie Davies-Arai, said: ‘There needs to be an urgent inquiry into how an organisation with this extreme ideology has been allowed to influence schools'
Stonewall added a caption that said: ‘Research suggests that children as young as 2 recognise their trans identity. Yet, many nurseries and schools teach a binary understanding of pre-assigned gender. LGBTQ-inclusive and affirming education is crucial for the wellbeing of all young people!’
It prompted a backlash from critics who questioned the claim that two-year-olds were even capable of considering their gender identity.
