That assumption was more a joke poking at the fact that no-one has put forward a valid reason as to why this is such a terrible idea.
And yes, that means I am discounting your hilarious "sneaky-sharia" theory.
Girls banned from Wearing Skirts in 40 schools who instead adopt Gender Neutral uniforms

It could probably be argued that boys wearing skirts would likely be on the receiving end of some nasty stuff from other students, whereas a girl wearing trousers would not.
And again I ask, beyond keeping the skirt manufacturing industry (which I know isn't a real thing) in business, why is it so important that girls (and boys for that matter) be allowed to wear skirts to school?
wow so we have gone from
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love
to Muslamic Ray guns in one thread, amazeballs even by GD standards
You just made my point, I am saying Boys should also be allowed to wear skirts if they wish (both should have access to both garments), this would actually be inclusive for the Trans people (Boy to girl) as apposed to the now exclusive rule of trousers only.
I don't even have an issue with them making it trousers only to be honest, what I do have an issue with is them trying to pass it off as being some kind of "Inclusive" or "Progressive" policy when it is in fact the complete opposite!
I don't even know where to start with this one. But resist away if it really bothers you.
You seem to be quick to stifle people's thoughts/discussions, but have you put forward any valid reasons as to why this is such a great idea though? Genuine question if you have put forward your reasons then can you please summarise for me.
Also the sharia-like thing isn't a theory. They certainly do like to cover up their real women and this is not theoretical, and this is exactly what is being done here. If it propagates to societal level, not just 40 schools.
Funny how when this act is likened to sharia types, people immediately latch into denial mode are automatically using words like "theoretical" and demanding reasons for why its a bad idea when they don't have any positively good reasons in the first place!

Good Idea, It will also stop them slipping a cheeky finger behind the bike shed at lunch time.
This is more ridiculous:
"It comes alongside news that a leading private school is bringing in make-up experts to help pupils who feel anxious about their appearance"
should be teaching body acceptance not how to hide behind makeup

Correlation is not causation. Just because they share a set of ideals does not make them relevant to this thread. Mormons also approve of discrete clothing but they're nothing to do with this either.
Let's see if I can help:
"You're all just a bunch of **********"
"Facist"
"Hitler was left wing"
Eyes down, best of luck.
Not thinking something is a bad idea doesn't mean thinking it is a great idea. For someone who hates non sequiturs, you sure seem to like false equivalencies.
But some reasons why it isn't the worst idea:
Girls can already wear trousers and are accepted doing so.
No upskirting (topical!).
Girls won't feel the need to shave/wax their legs as soon as they hit puberty.
Families save money on having to buy stockings during winter.
Girls are given access to pockets! (and I am being serious here, it's a major bugbear for women).
The fact remains. If male girls are so sad that female girls are wearing skirts, then forcing all the female girls to wear trousers will never mitigate the sadness of the male girl. Because that is the rationale behind this, it's to "cater for trans" as the headline headlines. The male girl will simply become preoccupied with something else because the actual causes of their self-consiousness/anxiety have not been identified/solved. You can take away everything from the real girl and dress her in a bin bag, yet the trans girl will still feel terrible.
No upskirting?
When I suggested a week ago that girls who know they are prone to devastation by upskirting should simply wear trousers, everyone said I was mad! Now here you are saying the same thing. So, you must be mad eh
Can we keep this thread on topic.
And, by god I thought I'd seen all the silly reasons GD users can get their knickersin a twist, but this is a new one.
A few schools changing their uniform policy and it's the end of civilisation, as opposed to something that happens to one degree or another every term at hundreds of school.
I remember back in my school days many of the girls wore trousers at least part of the year, and if they had certain classes as they were more practical than skirts.

I really find it odd when people are calling for 'let girls be girls and boys be boys' in this situation as the only reason that people see it normal for girls to be in skirts is the current trend in fashion/culture. Go hundreds of years back and in different cultures it would be considered 'manly' to wear a skirt (see kilt now). 50 years into the future it may be the norm for women to wear trousers.
id rather sharia law than accommodating trans children if that is even a thing that is a reality and not pushed on them by agenda ridden adults.
Yeah I don't think school meetings are rational in any sense whatsoever. They are probably full of men exhibiting defence mechanisms so as to not come across as perverted by people like krooton.
Otherwise they would have realised that transexuals will have to leave school when they are 16 and enter the real world, where believe it or not women are wearing skirts EVERYWHERE!
Who will "cater" for transexuals seeing girls in skirts once they leave school then?
This is why this is such a dangerous thing. You either sort out the transexual in school and tell them that they are not anxious/depressed/whatever because girls are wearing skirts. Because if you externalise it to skirts and turn the school into their safe-space then that person will be a complete mess when the rules of the school are not available in the real world.
Was the banning of shorts about transexuals?
