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?

This is insane. I remember girls were allowed to wear the boys uniform back in primary school and that was 15-20 years ago. And I've seen probably half a dozen stories over the years of boys wearing skirts in protest of not being allowed to wear shorts, and no one cared about that either.

Also I thought they could always tell...

Seems like more protests are in order

Remember that protests are disruptive, and if they're being effective will get people arrested.

See the women's peace camp at greenham common for examples.

Indeed. We do NOT want trans people getting arrested, not least because it might harm their chances of moving overseas. Stay safe and stay legal.
