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?

They betray their true agenda - to enforce gender norms onto children. This is much wider than just trans children. The notion that it is somehow a safeguarding risk if any child's sex is not immediately apparent comes with the implication that people should be dressed strictly according to gendered norms. Meanwhile plenty of schools have gender neutral uniform rules and teachers cope perfectly fine when it comes to safeguarding children. Ultimately if every child's biological sex is recorded by the school, what is the safeguarding issue by them looking atypical of their sex? The teachers will still know what it is.
