Well, at least at Brighton College, there should be no staff objection to a pupil switching to boyish or girlish garb.

awwwe!!!
That's so sweet! Now just to apply this to everywhere and we're golden. Clothes are just fabric, they don't mean gender at all :D
I know who I am, I am me, and I like me ^^
Transgender, Gamer, Little, Princess, Therian and proud :D
Wow! Finally someone shows some common sense.
It's time someone showed some common sense. This new approach of keeping the traditional school uniform but make it the choice of its wearers is really good in my opinion. It keeps the traditional values we want to teach our children yet it also allows expressing the clothing choice and gender. I assume many of the girls will opt for trousers in at least in winter whereas skirts or dresses might be their choice for summer.
We also avoided some really awkward 'all gender' uniform which probably would have forced everyone to look the same.

I always wonder why they called it that.
Common sense seems to be in rather short supply.

The Evolution of Clothing
In more ancient times, there was little difference in clothing save the lumps that women's breasts made. In just discovered primitive tribes in South America, it is so hot and humid that these tribes often wore nothing at all. The presence of a penis in men made it easier to thread it out through folds in clothing to facilitate pissing.
Women compete with each other for the protection of a man, so learned to ornament their clothing to make them more appealing. As humans more completely understand their own natures, as others have said, perhaps clothing will become genderless again? Perhaps practicality will rule?

Just a start
While being able to choose what one wears to school sounds fine, this is just a good start.
It doesn't address what happens when said child requires use of a toilet or which changing room they'll use or what sports they play.
Said child may just want to cross-dress, which means that they would still want to use their original facilities, or be transgender which would assume they wanted to use facilities which matched their clothing. That might be problematical with other parents if the child hasn't yet had SRS.
If I had been offered that option 50 years ago I would have been there like a shot.

Dogs have owners; cats have staff. Grand-daughters have minions.
trouser suits
A trouser suit eh? Isn't that basically the uniform of professional who is educated, earned a degree, and making their school proud as an alumnae? So therefor by allowing the young ladies to wear them aren't they therefor indirectly preparing them for everyday life after they graduate from university?
A bit of indirect logic but there by me but that they could use that wouldn't get linked to the young ladies or gentlemen who are born of the wrong bodies...
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
Pardon me for asking a dumb question, but what happens
when the student becomes 17 yrs old ?
The option applies to students, aged 16 and younger by the article.

A Guess.
