The Scottish Government became the “first country in the world” to add LGBT inclusive education into the school curriculum in September 2021.Ī campaign by Feminist Fundraisers to raise the £600 for security secured £954, according to its GoFundMe page. The meeting organisers said they wanted to “break the silence” around how children are taught about gender and discuss their concerns about the pressures schools were facing to remove single-sex toilets. Police Scotland confirmed no arrests had been made at the protest. Trans people have it hard enough as it is, without continuing to have to protest to defend themselves and to defend their rights from people who don't understand. “I support trans rights and it's important that everyone gets behind it. She said: “Trans rights are something people have fought for for so many years now and to think that there are still people who hold meetings like this is just making it harder.

On Tuesday police officers could be seen inside the library, while around 100 protesters stood outside with placards. The event called “school and gender identity” was arranged by Concerned Adults Talking Openly About Gender Identity Ideology and caused controversy when the group said the council told them they would need to pay £600 for security after a counter-protest was organised. A supporter has told why she attended a protest outside an Edinburgh library where a meeting was taking place organised by a group for parents concerned about how gender identity is taught in schools.
