<\/p>\nParents who were labelled as bigots for removing their son from school amid concerns over its transgender guidelines say they feel ‘vindicated’ by the new advice.<\/p>\n
Sally Rowe, 48, and her husband Nigel, 50, pulled their children out of school after their six-year-old son came home confused that a boy in his class had begun inconsistently wearing a dress and identifying as a girl.<\/p>\n
The couple, who have been schooling both their children on the Isle of Wight since 2017, had objected to the guidance being given at their children’s Church of England school.<\/p>\n
Their judicial review over the Department for Education’s refusal to intervene in their cases is thought to have sparked the row over the need for official advice.<\/p>\n
Now the pair say they feel they have been proved right with the guidelines that say teachers and pupils should not be ‘compelled’ to use a child’s preferred pronouns.<\/p>\n

Sally, said: ‘From looking at the evidence that we have provided from experts, it sounds like they have actually taken on board what we raised six years ago.<\/p>\n
‘We feel vindicated for one. If these were put in place six years ago, the damage would not have been done for these children.<\/p>\n
‘But at the same time, I do feel like, one, they are only guidelines and, two, there seems to be a lot of room for interpretation.’<\/p>\n
Asked if the guidance should be made law, Sally added: ‘Yes, so that it is kind of almost watertight.’<\/p>\n
