Transgender children tend to be “white and privileged”, Britain’s so-called strictest head teacher has claimed.
Katharine Birbalsingh, head of the Michaela Community School in Wembley, northwest London, said her school was unlikely to have any trans pupils because of its mainly ethnic-minority intake.
Birbalsingh, who previously worked as the government’s social mobility tsar, told The London Standard: “If one actually did a survey on this sort of thing nationally, I think you would find that white privileged kids would be more likely to be doing that. No question.”
