Dozens of parents of cisgender children have criticised attorney general Suella Braverman for anti-trans comments that they say will make school harder for both trans and cis kids.

In an open letter, shared with openDemocracy, the group of parent allies rejected claims that schools who support trans pupils could be acting at odds with the interests of cis peers.

Trans hostility harms all students, trans or not, the letter said, and all children and young people stand to benefit from trans-inclusive practices.
