Introduction to Video Content

In this video, Piers Morgan leads a debate on the topic of transgender extremism. He is joined by talk TV contributor Paula Rowan Adrian, political journalist Ava Santina, and international editor Isabel Oakeshott. The discussion begins with Piers questioning the idea of someone identifying as a cat and whether it can be compared to a child struggling with their gender identity. Paula clarifies that these are two separate issues, and Piers misquotes her by suggesting she is dismissing the topic. Paula reiterates that she acknowledges the seriousness of transgenderism and the challenges faced by those going through it. The conversation then shifts to the new guidelines that have been introduced regarding transgender issues in schools. Piers expresses his frustration with the focus on parents being informed, stating that he believes it should primarily be about the child's well-being. The article aims to provide an overview of the video's content and key arguments presented by the participants.

Subtitles section

Well, joining me now is talk TV contributor Paula Rowan Adrian, political journalist Ava Santina, and international editor Isabel Oakeshott.

Welcome to my dazzling pack.

All right.

Paul, I can see you... You can see.

..raging to go off again.

I'm ready.

Well, I'm intrigued that you've decided to open this really serious and sensitive debate by suggesting that somebody referencing themselves as a cat equates to a child who is struggling to understand... I did not.

I actually separated the two things.

..how to identify.

Well, you heard me separate the two things.

They're two completely... Paul, hang on.

sorry you heard me separate the two things.

I read out again and reminded people of the absurdity of a teacher calling children despicable for saying it was ridiculous to allow someone to be a cat and then I said but it also there are serious issues involving people who are seriously going through the issue of transgenderism for real not just a fad of being a cat.

And they're different things.

They are completely different things.

So don't misquote me.

But you're opening with that as if it's somehow something to be dismissed and somehow to be treated as a joke.

And this is my problem with the guidelines.

Not to be taken as a joke, no.

Which we have waited five years for.

Parents being informed about what their children are doing at school is not a joke to me.

I'm a father of four kids who've been through school.

I want to know.

One of my kids suddenly decided to identify as a cat.

I want a phone call from the school.

We've waited five years for these guidelines.

These guidelines start off by saying it's about parents being first.

We're putting parents first.

That's wrong, Piers.

Why?

It's not about parents, it's about the child.

It's about the vulnerable child.

You're a parent, right?

Absolutely.

Who needs the adults around them to support them during this difficult period for them.

What it doesn't need is for the child who is vulnerable to be told, no, the parent comes first.

That's the wrong approach.

No, the parent doesn't come first until the child is an adult.

Isabel?

Paula, if you want your child to be given medicine at school, if you want them just to have some Calpol, you have to get permission.

That has to...

you have to go through a process.

I have to sign a form if I want my child to have cowpoll at school for a headache or a sore throat or whatever.

To me it is negligent and bordering on abusive to allow schools just to

honour a child's wishes to be known temporarily as something else without involving the parent.

For them to be made comfortable.

This is where we become confused with being child focused and saying that the child gets everything they want.

That's not what I'm saying.

Being child focused does not mean that everything the child says is right.

But what I'm concerned about is that saying parent first means that anything that the child says is always going to come second to what their parent wants.

So do you think parents should be cut out from it?

That is not always correct.

Let's make this a lot simpler.

then.

Do you think it's okay for parents to be cut out because that's at the heart of this?

Absolutely not.

So they should be involved then?

A parent must be involved.

We are missing out on a really important cog here.

Even if the parent agrees that the child would like to use a different set of pronouns, the school does not have to abide by that.

It would only be exceptional circumstances where the school actually accepts it.

At the moment, there will be a lot of children around the country who will be going into the Christmas period now not knowing how they will be identified when they go into school in general.

They get identified as boy or girl.

Like the old days.

Why do you feel like that?

You don't go in and say, you call me they, like Sam Smith.

No.

Those days are done.

Piers, you're shouting... Why do you want them to be... Because it's so stupid.

It is ridiculous.

Let's shout about the fact that the criminal stats tell us that hate crime against transgender people have gone up eleven percent in one year.

Over the last five years, it's gone up... This is way off.

..one hundred and eighty six percent.

This is way off the subject.

So what we need to do... I think that's awful.

So what we need to do... I think any...

Any hatred towards trans people is awful.

But why do you think that there is so much mockery of trans people compared to five, six years ago?

I'll tell you why.

Because they are fighting ludicrous battles, the trans lobby, over things like demanding the right of biological males identifying as trans women to compete in sport against

I'll tell you why.

And the more that happened, and then in Scotland you saw Nicola Sturgeon lose her job because she was putting biological male rapists into female prisons where they could attack women.

What does that have to do?

When this stuff happens, the real victims, actually, the real victims are genuine trans people who just want to have a quiet life, who go through a lot anyway,

and they just want a quiet time and to be respected and tolerant by the society.

We had Lee Anderson.

And I want to take care of those people.

Lee Anderson recently rallied the troops, rallied the Conservative troops, and say, we're going to fight the next election on the basis of culture wars and trans.

It's not a culture war.

OK?

It's not a culture war.

That's what his government, the MPs, are saying it is.

I'm sorry.

Paula, I'm sorry.

But the issue of biological males competing against biological females is not a culture war.

It is an absolute full front assault on women's rights.

And why any woman still defends this nonsense?

All of you.

It's ridiculous to me.

All of you.

We are talking about that.

Because it's being dismissed as cultural.

We're not.

We're talking about schools here.

And in my opinion, this guidance doesn't actually go anywhere near far enough.

What would you like it to say?

I wouldn't think it should be... Can I just talk for one second here?

Because I've tried to interject repeatedly and only been talked down.

I don't think it needs to be guidance.

I think it needs to be the actual law.

I do not think schools should have a huge amount of discretion or indeed any discretion over this.

And by the way, this is only a consultation.

So we've waited all these months, it's certainly nine months since Rishi Sunak called for urgent action.

And it's only a consultation.

Look, for me, this is very straightforward.

I do not think children should be encouraged

to take decisions that they may come to regret very dreadfully.

A lot of this stuff is not... As we saw at the Tavistock building, right, Ava?

But these are the arguments that were used against children in the eighties and the nineties when we were talking about, you know, whether children could be gay.

We were talking about that.

You know, it's exactly the same sort of rhetoric of... And remember, Isabel, we're talking about social transition.

Being gay is a sexuality.

We're not talking about...

Right?

Identifying as a cat is not a sexuality.

No, come on, you know that that is a false equivalent of what you've just done there.

But it's not fair.

We discussed how we were not going to equate that.

We weren't going to use the cat analogy with this very serious discussion.

Well, I am.

I've heard it.

At the moment, we've got a murder trial going on, you know, potentially because of a trans child died, all right?

You know, and we're talking about bullying... But there have also been murder trials this year of trans people killing people.

So it works both ways.

No, no, no, come on.

Because, OK, we can talk about that specific case, but let's be serious.

You can take out individual stories, of course you can, and amplify them.

No, if a child was bullied.

But I think both of those are horrific for different reasons.

So what's the point?

But trans murderers do not represent trans people.

But if a child was killed because they are trans, then that is pretty important.

What's that got to do with the school issue?

Well, let me tell you what the school is bullying them, then obviously that's allowing that sort of behaviour.

It's not going to change bullying.

Yes, it is.

I don't see how it's going to change bullying.

We know how important schools are, of course, they are the locus parenti aren't they for our children when we send them off in the morning, we know that, and so what's really important of course is that the school has guidelines, but what happens is... Rules not guidelines!

where I would agree with you on.

Because at the moment, we don't have anything watertight.

It's very fluid.

We have this consultation period, it's twelve weeks.

It's a little bit convenient that they suddenly sent out these guidelines when most schools have broken up, when most schools are coming to the end of their holidays.

So what they think that they're going to get back, I don't know.

There are no doubt there are some children genuinely going through transgenderism.

They believe they're born in the wrong body and they have to be taken care of, cared for, respected and everything.

I totally support that.

But there are a very, very small number of people.

What has happened in the last two to three years, there's been an explosion

in people identifying as non binary, gender fluid, a hundred other genders, because it's trendy, it's a fad, and teachers have been traduced into going along with this and not telling parents, and it's completely outrageous.

But my family are teachers, my friends are teachers, and I spoke to them before I came on this programme, and I said, do you have transgender children at your school?

And they said yes.

I said, do you use their pronouns?

They all said yes, and I told them about this new guidance, and I said, well, that's unworkable, and why would we do that?

How many have they got?

What, how many have they got?

How many transgender?

Very small.

Tiny.

But probably one to each person.

Right.

Now, what about the people identifying as non binary, genderfluid, blah, blah, blah?

But so what?

There was one school in Brighton where there was a thousand pupils.

I think it was something like three hundred were identifying as non binary or genderfluid.

I don't think it is a so what.

It's nonsense.

It's a badge.

I'm sorry, I don't think it is a so what.

I think that when people start having actual surgery to change their bodies in ways that are not reversible, that isn't a shrug shrug.

But we're not talking about surgery.

We're not talking about surgery.

The Tavistock Clinic was created on the altar of virtue signalling nonsense, and children were being mutilated at that altar.

And it's completely outrageous what was going on there.

That's very different to people using pronouns in school.

Well it's a slippery slope isn't it?

Once you start to acquiesce to kids wanting the rights to everything and they rule the roost and they have the final say.

Their rights to be comfortable in their own body.

Parental rights should be absolutely paramount.

Now there is an exception where there's a genuine belief based on teacher knowledge, social services maybe whatever, of violence towards a child who may say something like that when they go home.

That is different and that's been allowed for in this

No, it hasn't.

No, this guidance specifically says as well, even if it's agreed by the parents and by the school, the school will not take it on.

No, but there's a specific criteria for kids who may be at risk, right?

Teachers will be able to withhold information if they believe a child could be put at significant risk.

So it's in there.

But they won't be using their pronouns.

Can I just tell you, that isn't unusual.

In terms of safeguarding, that's quite normal.

Teachers are always very careful to ensure that the child comes first.

And if there is a concern about risk of harm, significant harm, then they will, of course, do what they need to do in terms of contacting the appropriate professionals to ensure that the child is cared for first before the parent finds out.

That's not unusual.

What my concern is, is exactly what you've just been amplifying, this parental right over the child right.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

No, absolutely not.

Yes, until they're legal adults, the parent has the right.

That is our job as parents.

This is why I'm glad we're actually having this debate.

So am I. And the consultation period is required.

But what we should not be doing is adding flames to this culture war.

It's not a culture war.

You are doing that.

And now... It's about our children.

We've had Kenny Badenoff say that there is no child born in the wrong body.

How can you tell me this is a cultural war?

If you had your way, Paula, you'd have young girls at school... I've got a twelve year old daughter, right?

You'd have her up against six foot five inch biological males at sport.

Oh, come on.

You'd have her having to share the toilets and bathrooms with biological males.

This is an unattractive argument from you.

You'd have a bunch of her friends identifying as cats.

This is an unattractive argument from you.

And you know what it is?

It is licenced chaos and actually bordering on abuse.

I think it is bordering on abuse.

I think that we will look back on this era in future as a period in which we actually encouraged children to become incredibly confused.

And it is terrible for mental health to keep projecting all this, oh, you might be this, you might be that.

Look, the vast, vast majority of people are either a boy or a girl.

And they don't need their mind befuddled with a load of this.

What we don't need is people like Sam Smith, who started off as a gay man, a year later he's non binary, then he wants to be called they them, then he wants to be gender fluid, blah, blah, blah.

It is just fadism.

Is it?

Yes.

Fadism.

By the way, let's not forget that this year, thanks to him and his campaign, he demanded the Brit Awards go gender neutral.

And what happened in the Best Individual Singer category?

They were all blokes, the nominees.

Look, on page one of that guidance, it questions whether gender dysphoria is even legitimate.

It questions whether, you know, someone can't be born into the wrong body.

Maybe more questions should be asked.

Simply going, I'm actually, I'm a girl.

I'm a boy when you're not.

But no one's flitting like that.

They are.

We're talking about people who genuinely feel like they're born into the wrong body and you should respect that.

Gazillions of kids are doing it because they're all chasing a fad.

It's just like in the seventies when David Bowie put make up on, they all wore make up.

Kids do that.

Anyway, we've got to leave it there.

Kids also are committing suicide, Piers.

Yes, some are.

It's very sad.

Kids also are self harming, Piers.

Yes, I don't deny that.

And so we need to address this and not come across as if we know best.

And you know what they're not getting?

Because so many kids are being encouraged to identify as anything they like, the ones who really need help are getting lost in the wash.

So you accept that there are ones that really need help.

Yes.

Because so do I. I said that earlier on.

So do I. All right.

I'm glad we all agreed.

Nice to see you all.
