Parents would reportedly have to give consent before the student's gender identity could be respected at school, and this could be vetoed by a head deciding it'll have "mental effects" on other students, regardless of what the parents say.

Even under Section 28, gay students could be gay at school without fear of being outed.

Gender-questioning students could have transphobic parents. Or another student could claim "mental effects" as part of a bullying campaign.

This could result in direct endangerment of children.
