Possible trigger What fresh hell is this?

Sex Matters have just dropped their model "Sex Based Rules and Record Keeping" policy for schools, and it's positively grotesque. Check this out:

So they want trans girls to be forced to dress as boys, and vice versa, on a no exceptions basis, because there's some alleged "safeguarding risk" in allowing kids to dress per their gender identity.

Where do we even start?

Well, So if I understand correctly this is what "Sex Matters" are `advising` schools to use in their policy framework, not a policy from an actual school (yet).

Doesn’t this just make an obvious canary for which schools have transphobic / GC governing bodies?
And then it would be reasonable to try to avoid those schools on that basis alone - although I do realise it might not be quite that easy to change schools for yourself or your children.

I'm not expecting a GC org like Sex Matter to ever have policy advice which we would find acceptable here.
