A north London private school has drawn up plans to introduce gender-neutral uniforms in response to a growing number of pupils questioning their gender identity.
Highgate school currently has an option for girls to wear a grey pleated skirt, but the school is consulting on a mix-and-match uniform policy which will not specify a different requirement for boys and girls.
Girls can currently wear grey trousers or skirts as well as the dark blue jackets and ties which make up the rest of the uniform. Boys may not wear a skirt and also have to wait until they are 16 to wear earrings.
Adam Pettitt, headmaster at the school, told the Sunday Times: "This generation is really questioning [if we are] being binary in the way we look at things."
He said some former pupils had complained about the changes. "They write in and say if you left children to their own devices they would grow up differently and you are promoting the wrong ideas," he said.
Some parents did not know that their children were questioning their gender identity, he added, forcing the school to mediate between parents and pupils.

Is Edward Lear writing the school regs. The sentance is grammatical, but just doesn't make any sense.

If the parents do not have everyone at this school that supports this crap on their backs and a boot on their throat and a gun to their head....OK this is UK so maybe scissors or tweezers to their heads. Make them explain to your satisfaction why this is good or OFF them.
This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end, Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end, I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand, In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain, And all the children are insane
All the children are insane, Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
There's danger on the edge of town, Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine, Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake, To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles, Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
. . . Jim Morrison, The Doors
I mean...that's how it's done in Sweden.
Just let the boys wear kilts. Even Utilikilts would be an option.
Learning to say no to idiot authority is becoming a valuable skill.
Looks like it came from the Benny Hill show
“Donald, Where’s your Trousers”
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Through the streets
In my kilt, I’ll go
All the lassies shout, go, go
Donald, where’s your troosers
Awaiting London’s muzzie mayor to comment... Still waiting... Drumming fingers...
LOL
queer teachers who want to see little boys in skirts- and parents are ok with that?
Are they going to stop using computers, because they use binary?
How many reading this story simply shake their head, then bring their child(ren) right back to their local government school on Monday morning? Almost all? Where is all the conservative outrage and activism on this issue?? Threads related to health care rightly get hundreds of responses. Education? It seems rare that we even get 30-40 posts.
Excellent GIF.
War against men/masculinity continues unabated.
This school also just outed itself. Not fit to teach one single kid. Not fit to receive one penny of tuition.
That is interesting.
Out of 4 nephews, the two raised by a real man, my brother, I’d want to avoid in a fight at my fat age of 49
Michael Caesar is a BIG ex Ofensive Guard and just tough. Now he is working at the Brooklyn ADA at 26.
Stephen, the younger brother, is a non steroid beast who (though I dont approve at all) pulled a bar door off its hinges. Ex offensive lineman and solid at 240 and tough.
He’s been offered bouncing jobs while in college but mom says no.
The ones raised by my sister and THEIR husbands, forget about it.
One’s a snowflake, him and his hippy fiance.
The other one’s a good kid and is HARD right wing. But would fold like a tent in a fight.
There’s enough real men to raise new real men, I think still. But NOT LIKE the WWII fathers.
My pop was tough. After he punished my brother, he punished me just in case I was in on whatever my brother did, even if it was physically impossible :)
He was a great guy. Didn’t beat us but a slap here and there when we needed it.
Insist that the boys sit with legs crossed. And wear underwear.
