In this series, Julie Bindel meets families whose lives have been thrown into turmoil by the failure of pretty much every institution to stand up to the cult of trans ideology. They’ve been bullied into allowing their once-healthy children to take powerful drugs, sometimes undergo life-altering surgery, and be repeatedly brainwashed by the fad of gender. This episode speaks to parents living under threat of sanction as a result of the social worker and counselling professions abandoning sense and safeguarding.

Parents tell me about the extent of legal confusion and hostility to parents who’ve challenged pseudoscience in the classroom.
