Has anyone here emigrated from the US to the UK with school-aged kids? What were the biggest adjustments they had to make and what were their biggest challenges? (lemmy.world)

My daughter is 14, but I'm sure answers for kids younger or older can apply.

if you're planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems

The UK government is getting rid of conversion therapy. Labour wants to, the king wants to, the C of E wants to, and because of the last part, enough Tories want to that it will happen.

So it doesn't have similar problems when you have a queer child.

LGB is one thing, Q and T are another. There's a reason it's so often referred to as "TERF Island".

TERFs are absolutely a tiny but vocal minority. Most people couldn't give a toss.
