Irrelevant to the bigots, but this IS about trans spies. GCHQ is the UK equivalent of the NSA and the Cyberfirst program was created to get more women and girls into cybersecurity and can lead to roles at GCHQ.

So who knows, maybe there are some future trans spies there? 🕵️‍♀️🏳‍⚧

The Telegraph going after trans girls being in a computer class with cis girls.

Won't lie, thought this was about trans spies and I'm very disappointed.

I don’t think I understand the question, and I didn’t comment to get into some kind of Tory vs Labour debate. Just saying the reactionary policies are not new, and we should try to plan ahead rather than tell people to abandon fewer for short lived solutions. Looked it up: CyberFirst ads were 2020
