Sam,
I can forward this to Mermaids UK if you wish. They are a UK organisation that assists Transchildren, adolescents and their families and friends.
They will have information for you. They were asking for actors in a video for schools regarding trans a few months ago...

Subject: Request for information on gender variance in the school curriculum
Sorry to bother you all,,, aa request for information about gender variance
in the school curriculum....
The Branch of Hong Kong Government which deals with education has
commissioned an essay about gender. It is to enlighten teachers and
students in a new secondary school curriculum area called Liberal Studies.
I understand from a reliable informant that the Branch won't allow anything
to be written about transgenderism.
I wonder whether any other countries have gender variance in their school
curriculum (whether in a subject called liberal studies or not). If so, can
you let us know and we will take this to the HK Government. It may prod
them into a more progressive approach.
