Parents Furious As UK Secondary Schools Ban Skirts To “Accommodate” Trans Students

Zero Hedge-

One month after a private secondary school in England banned its male students from wearing shorts during the summer – instead requesting that they wear a more “gender neutral” ensemble that includes a skirt, dozens of private schools have taken up the banner of intersectional feminism and banned their female students from wearing skirts as part of their uniforms.

The reason? Because the “growing” number of transgender students at these schools aren’t comfortable with traditional “gendered” uniforms, according to RT. Instead, secondary schools like the Priory School in Lewes, East Sussex, are asking female students to “accommodate” their transgender peers by wearing trousers, just like male students do.

“We have a small but increasing number of transgender students and therefore having the same uniform is important for them,” said Headteacher Tony Smith. However, some parents have chafed at the fact that they weren’t consulted about the ban, and others have argued that female students should still have the option of wearing a skirt, according to RT.

Diane Burdaky, parent of a pupil at Philips High School told RT that there had been no consultation process and that the children did “not want to wear trousers all the time.”

She said: “I was very shocked. There was no consultation with any parents or students. There was no explanation for the ban. No reasons given whatsoever. I know the children at school do not want to wear trousers all the time.”

  1. smfh … make all of them wear Umpa Lumpa uniforms & tell them that it’s the trans-queers fault they have to dress like this …

    let the after-school noogies commence … (doubtful, w/ the English propensity for foppishness)

  2. Is this a “can wear a hijab” but “can’t wear a skirt” jurisdiction? Or a “you’ll wear what we command, and thank us, peasants” jurisdiction?

  3. Instead of making the girls wear trousers, why not make the boys wear skirts? After all, “gendered” clothing is so awful, right? So then what’s bad about boys wearing skirts?

    Because then they’d have a worse mess than they do now. They are cowards who pick on the easiest targets.

  4. First they prohibited the boys wearing shorts suggesting they wear skirts. Then they tell the girls they can’t wear skirts and must wear trousers. It is a Bizarro world they are creating and they should all be locked up in the deepest pit of Bedlam.

    And, in their trans world, how can they demand apparel based upon such outdated concepts as “boys” and “girls”?
