Why I advised Brighton College over its 'trans uniforms'. All schools should follow suit

This morning, I stood in front of hundreds of Brighton College pupils in assembly and spoke about the experience of being a trans woman. In the past few days, they've found their school suddenly the focus of press interest, after headteacher Richard Cairns scrapped traditional male and female uniforms to accommodate the needs of transgender children.

He made the decision to offer all pupils the option of trousers or a skirt, so that children with gender dysphoria can dress as the gender they feel they really are, rather than the one they were born into. Mr Cairns explained to me that his decision had been prompted by a female pupil, whose family had asked the school if she could dress as she did beyond the school gates - as a boy.

What about students who identify as a woodland creature?

Ah, but when the reaction does come, it is going to be brutal.

And for the the poor U.K. folks, that reaction will come from their beloved Muzzies.

Get ready for a very very bloody U.K civil war.

pretty soon it’s going to be a jailable offense to “identify” just simply as a man or a woman...no, everyone is going to have to self identify as something gray, mushy and neither/or

Shouldn’t the sign say, “Boys, Girls, Both, and Neither”?

Well since it’s a Jr. high - high school calling itself a college, it already flunked the honesty thing.

Well, it wasn't very inclusive of you not to mention the other 37 or so "gender identities."

They'll need a bigger sign.

“...the gender they were assigned at birth...”

What happens at birth is an observation as to whether the child is male or female.

whatever a “trans woman” might be.....(?) it does NOT sound like it’s “experience” are a proper topic to expore 12 year old children to

parents, get your kids OUT of this pervert “school” ... ASAP!

(put them somewhere they are taught reading, writing, arithmetic, literature, science, art, music, .......and if you wish....decent moral values of any genuine Christian or Jewish denomination of your choice....)

ps: WTH is a ‘trans woman” anyway? my doctor tells me to avoid trans-fats, does that apply?

“Transgender” is not real...

“Transvestite” is the real word...

It doesn’t matter what you THINK you are...If you have XX chromosomes, you are FEMALE...If you have XY chromosomes, you are MALE...

FACT....No amount of “thinking” you are male or “thinking” you are female when you are not changes anything...

A “trans woman” is a man dressed as a woman.

“Neither” includes the whole salad bar of everything that isn’t Boy, Girl, or Both.

Why would anyone send their child to a school that not only tolerated but encouraged these kinds of perversions? Afraid there’s a chance of them growing up normal?

that is what I feared it meant

that operators of that girls’ school need to have charges filed against them for contributing to the delinquency of minors.............and/or whatever other criminal laws they have there....like maybe child abuse, child endangerment, providing obscene whatever to a child...

this is a HORRIBLE way to children

Replace that with a sign that reads “Whatever.”

So why didn’t they just get rid of skirts altogether if they are denying gender? Everyone can wear slacks and a shirt.

The good news is that when the rubber meets the road, most women and men who want a long term relationship want it with a clearly defined opposite sex. Excluding gays of course.

Poor Chaz Bono is having trouble finding love and a woman who is interesting in “him.” Even Jenners wife divorced him after he went trans-gen.

Good ol’ biology wins out in the end.
