excerpt

In the UK, pretty much every child has to wear school uniforms. In most cases, that means girls in skirts and boys in pants. 

If you don’t fit into one of these binary gender categories, this distinction can cause a lot of anguish. And this is something that an increasing number of schools in the UK are beginning to acknowledge.

Earlier this week, it was announced that more than 80 publically funded schools across the country have now adopted gender neutral uniform policies.

That means that the schools have either removed any reference to boys and girls in their dress codes, or in some cases, have expressly told children that they can wear whatever part of the school uniform they feel comfortable with.

It’s all part of a government-funded drive to make schools more sensitive to kids questioning their gender identity.

More idiocy.

Any day now, I expect British schoolgirls to be required to cover their faces, like good little Muslims. What then? Will the boys still be permitted to wear boy clothes, or will officials pander both to Islam and the trannies, and put everyone in a burqa? What a dilemma.
