We are exposing a Scottish Government that will not engage in discussion regarding their education agenda which is not only flouting the law in terms of recognising the reality of sex but is also ignoring the findings of extensive robust research findings regarding social transitioning in schools.

On the 20th February 2026, ScotPAG members met with two civil servants from the Learning Directorate.

Why Gender Identity Ideology has Created an Education Scandal MSP Tess White hosted ScotPAG’s first Round Table event in the Scottish Parliament 5th March 2026. In addition to the Panel of professional speakers and ScotPAG members, MSPs, parents and professionals from education, health and social work were in attendance. The panel speakers comprised: Carolyn Brown, Retired Depute Principal Educational Psychologist, ScotPAG Convenor Dr Anne Woodhouse, Consultant Clinical Psyc

Gender identity ideologues demonstrate their authoritarian mindset by : refusing to discuss points of logic; by bullying and harassing those who do not comply or agree with their point of view; and by making vexatious complaints about those who try to question their opinions. The crux of cancel culture and the demand of ‘No debate!’ is evidence enough of a vicious, aggressive and entitled movement with no care for the rights and needs of others.

Here at ScotPAG, we are surveying the scene that was 2025. We find ourselves completely spoiled for choice regarding the selection of the most outstanding gender identity ideology memorable moments—or perhaps better named, catastrophes and conundrums of 2025. For the purposes of our final blog for 2025, we decided to pick ten significant events and give them ScotPAG scores based on the following three criteria: Game changing Media straddling Ridiculousness (NB this descriptor

The HCPC's harassment and negative treatment of Dr Woodhouse is a scandal which ScotPAG believes needs not only to be exposed, but also requires a formal  and public enquiry Into how the HCPC functions and what its real objectives are.

When children are the targets of such propaganda by adults, we all have an obligation to retrieve our moral compass. We must face up to the tragedy of this current moment, and think the unthinkable - that many adults, some knowingly, but the majority unknowingly, are harming children who have even less capacity to resist the power of the GII narrative than they do.

Evidence that puberty blockers harm children is already prevalent…but how to stop the conveyor belt of suggestion that leads towards their use?

Disclosure Scotland’s website statement regarding transgender individuals worried ScotPAG professionals. We were concerned that the most important safeguarding organisation in Scotland was, according to its website, sanctioning self-identification about the term ‘transgender’; an ill-defined term which by Stonewall’s own definition, includes anything from a vulnerable teenager confused about his or her sex or sexuality, to a middle aged man with a sexual fetish.

ScotPAG has played a small but active part in stating clearly and simply what the problems are when a society and its culture buys into quackery junk science which has no basis in reality. We have a Scottish Government which is thirled to progressing an unproven ideology and inflicting it on all its citizens. It pays lip-service to the law, and encourages all our public services to do likewise…all at tax payers’ expense.

The updated guidance does not improve on the previous guidance and creates potential safeguarding issues, as outlined by Dr J Cunningham, a retired pediatrician...To date, the Scottish Government has refused to listen or consult with professionals knowledgeable about child development and has preferred to listen to activists. There is also growing concern and anger amongst many families regarding harm already caused to their children and their family life. We would welcome a

We are compelled to express our grave concerns about the Scottish Government’s recent guidance, Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools. While the clarification of existing law and the 1992 Education (Scotland) Regulations is valuable, the underlying premise of this document remains profoundly troubling. It is not a neutral framework but, rather, a continuation of the push to embed gender identity ideology within our schools—an ideology lacking scientific foundation

We previously submitted a petition, requested information that was not forthcoming, asked for meetings with key politicians which never happened, and sent numerous statements of our grave concern over the handling of gender ideology in all our key institutions. None of our concerns were taken seriously and we now find ourselves, yet again, back in Groundhog Day.

The Scottish Government has at this time of writing (September 2025), failed to withdraw its guidance, Supporting Transgender Pupils in Schools. As a result, For Women Scotland have initiated formal proceedings against the Scottish Government for failing to withdraw its self-id policies for schools and prisons.

The concept of the 'trans' child is discussed in relation to safeguarding. We believe there is significant urgency in the task of creating circumstances in which education, health, and social work professionals can receive the support necessary to return them to their ethical and fiduciary role of safeguarding. It is time to address the disastrous professional neglect that has operated when nonsensical theories have been favoured over reality, and to create new support networ
