Oh no no no, we can't possibly do that. Someone might get upset, and we can't have that. Everyone has to be equally contented, sorry I mean equally miserable. EQUALITY. So beautiful.
I believe the reasons for that was simply to have a "more formal" uniform. The banning of shorts was not to "cater for transgenders" like this skirt bannage apparently is iirc.
Are you sure all schools banned them for that reason?
I certainly hope all uniform modifications are purely down to reasons such as "more or less formality", and certainly not to "cater" for particular people who may be offended or devastated by seeing some real female or even male legs.
We already have body acceptance. But it seems to be only for fat people who CBA to get healthy
Yes or no will do.
Lmao you should have a go at questioning politicians you'd do well.
If you read my answer you would realise the answer is basically "I don't know".
So no. A yes or no will not "do" lol.
I don't know if ALL schools banned ALL shorts JUST because it's more formal. But if any schools did ban shorts for any transgender "catering" then that's stupid.
I mean the skirt ban. The thing you're raving about. Are you sure that all the schools that have banned skirts did so to cater for transgender pupils?
(Edited for clarity.)
I confess my initial thoughts sighed at yet more silliness but I've to the conclusion a unisex/gender uniform seems the most appropriate course of action in an era of social extremity. Just allow shorts to be worn during the sumer months, job done.
Ah OK, well same logic applies....
I don't know if ALL schools banned ALL skirts just because it's catering for transgenders. But if any schools are banning skirts for transgender "catering" then that's stupid.
This case can potentially set a precedent of banning skirts in other schools for silly "catering" reasons though. So it's not impossible for a considerable amount of schools to do the same.
That is unfair to transitioning pupils who may be sensitive about their hairy legs
How dare you
Shorts are OPTIONAL?That is unfair to transitioning pupils who may be sensitive about their hairy legs
I edited my post for clarity but it doesn't matter.
Apparently, at Woodhey High School in Bury, "skirts have been banned because they can be “undignified and embarrassing” for staff and visitors when girls sit on the floor in assemblies and drama classes."
What do you think of that?

This is just an other example, how liberals, social justice warriors and feminists and god knows what else of that public correctness disorder is slowly damaging this country with a thousand cuts and how single ice crystals are becoming a thing.
While trying to be fair to everyone, they in turn make it unfair to everyone.
As others have pointed now... why couldn't they just give them a choice if they wanted to wear shirts, trousers, kilts or whatever else instead of just, let's ban everything and force everyone to wear trousers instead.
An other outrage is how they didn't even ask the parents on how they felt about this policy, they just changed it, aside from the financial change the policy is forcing on them, that's very wrong.
Where is the common sense?
An other question, how did 40 schools just decide to switch to the same policy?
Ah they all part of the same school network or something and do any of the school governors have business links to maybe a school clothing factory that only does trousers or something.
No one commented on this? I know it's a private school and likely rich as hell, but really, they going to spend money to hire some make-up expert to teach their pupils on how to look good?

Uniformity through individualisation! Sensitivity through enrolment!But it's insensitive
I think that the staff and visitors to that school are maybe a little sick.
Why's it embarrassing for an adult to catch a glimpse of a child in a skirt? It's a child and I think such an adult needs to grow up a bit, how messed up and immature is that?
If an adult feels embarrassed at the sight of some kids in a skirt then that adult who needs to fix himself up. Banning skirts isn't going to fix this dude because he will feel the same thing when faced with a girl who's wearing tight trousers.
My drama class used to be full of up-skirts and no one ever used to bat an eyelid let alone get "embarrassed", nowadays adults are embarrassed at some kids wearing skirts. What has happened to society.
Yeah this is just capitalism and that make-up "expert" is a make-up salesman. Girls as young as 12 have committed suicide because they thought they weren't as pretty as some caked up instagram models. Now they're being taught that they can just buy some makeup and cake themselves endlessly and be a happy clown for the next 50 years of their lives. Btw has anyone even seen a woman wearing full makeup, up close, rather sickening.
