Last year, some boys from a private school in East Sussex wore skirts to school in hot weather as a protest.
And now, the school has started an initiative to change their uniform policy and allow boys to use skirts and girls trousers, since the number of children questioning their gender has increased over the years. They also want to do allow unisex toilets and open sports to al pupils.
Eighty institution, forty of them primary schools, participates in the initiative. The government has financed with the objective of opening minds on schools about children that question their gender.
The policy supports neutral gender, and gave to the pupils the option of choosing between wearing a skirt, trousers or both of them. According to the principal there are more girls that use trouser than boys using skirts, and adds that it's a reflection of what society considers normal and what doesn't, and we can change that.

The parents have reacted well to change, the new rules do not force children to do anything. "They just give them a choice."
Paula Weaver, the principal of Allens Croft, a school in England was the first in the UK to change the dress policy a year ago.
A lot of students suffer bullying and abuses from other students so the school is trying to help the LGTB community, too.

I like the new policy because I think that everyone has the right of wearing whatever they want, independently of their gender. Besides, there are people that don't identify theirselfs with the society classification about male or female.
Some people feel trapped in the wrong body from the moment they are born, there are boys who are convinced they should be girls. Also, there are girls who say they should be boys. Since we were born, society teaches us how a man should look or how a woman should behave. However, many students disagree with these gender roles. I believe that society should not decide what it means to be a man or to be a woman, and neither decide if you should wear a skirt or a pants.
