Opinions

• not born trans/homophobic

Help

• understand
• Amanda Spielman, ofsted chief inspector: "it's about making sure that children who do happen to realise that they themselves may not fit a conventional pattern to know that they're not bad or ill"

Hetronormative socioety

• scary without the homo/transphobia

Fined-disgrimination

• giving an opinion without understanding-fined

Religeon

• say it "promotes"
• some don't accept
• Be who you want to be-god made you you

Obliged

• have to be LGBTQ+ - have to be "straight"
• Have to come out

More Homophobia

• confusion-home and school teaching-anger
• "different" 
• Teach about heterosexuality too

• Homophobic schools-how they've been taught
• open mindedness-comfortable experience
• Can't force it
• won't abolish-reduce-less school missed, less deaths
• should be taught-school will be happier
