    Seriously, what is to stop girls from wearing shorts if they wish?

    That way TS pupils, of either sex, having the choice of either shorts or a skirt, couldn't justly claim they were being discriminated against, whatever they wore.

    edit: Or have I missed the whole point of the hoo hah, if the offence arose in the first place by banning girls from wearing shorts and/or TSs from wearing skirts ?!

    God, it was all so much simpler 50 years ago!

      i don't understand why they felt they need to ban shorts at all. What's wrong with trousers, skirts and shorts in Summer? How does that offend transgender people?

        Uniform at one of my schools was knickerbockers (that posh school in Knightsbridge) - or shorts, but girls could wear skirts if they wanted.

          Oh. My. God.

          Transgendered people do not need a reason to be offended - you are just such an ignorant straight white privileged male.

            That is NOT OK!!

            You need to take that down before I sentence you to public shaming...

              It is not up to you to decide what is ok - you privileged patriarchal rapist.

                [So what you're saying is] My only hope is for the right sort of person to get offended on my behalf and virtue signal for me?

                    Don't know how you do it but you outdo yourself every post. How do you manage to keep upping your game like that?

                      The school dress code.

                      The whole hoo hah arose because a new dress code was imposed of long trousers or skirts. When the head teacher was asked if that meant boys could wear skirts if they chose, she said yes.

                      The school dress code decided against shorts. Whether you agree or not, the idea is that smart dressing is more conducive to an educational environment. It was deemed that shorts are not smart.

                      This has precisely zero to do with transgender, right-on politics or virtue signalling, except it was seen that banning boys from wearing skirts could lead to snowflake activists getting hot under the collar.
