Didn't we do this whole thing last year?
I'm sure we found stories with photos of Spanish coach drivers and various school boys from around the UK who where banned from wearing shorts, so they all turned up in skirts in accordance with their uniform policies?

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.
The move was part of a government-funded drive to make uniform polices more sensitive to transgender children.

None of my kids secondary schools allowed shorts. It's not a new thing.
Of course, if the boys wanted to make a point, they could probably get agreement for shorts as these Swedish train drivers did.

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
Originally posted by Jog On View Posti don't understand why they felt they need to ban shorts at all.

Originally posted by Jog On View Posti 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.

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.
