What happens if a child in a single sex school is transgender?

[KindergartenKop]

Would they have to move schools? Does anyone have any experience of this?

i know an all-girls school which has one transboy. he wears trousers and presumably uses a different name but otherwise nothing has changed.

In what way is ‘he’ a ‘he’? Still female body I assume?

It’s a single sex school so if the child is if the appropriate sex then fine. If the child is not of the appropriate sex, they shouldn’t be there.

Humans can’t change sex. We’re not clownfish.

deathbycats - a lot of people now seem to believe that you can change sex now - you have obviously missed all the posts on Feminism for the last few years

Not many people on the feminism boards believe they can change sex.

The transgender person would obviously believe they were the other sex, I think that's why people say they are transgender.

You can have operations and take hormones to modify your body but unless you are a hermaphrodite you are what you were born as, male or female.

A local all girls school to me got in the paper from this. A child there was transgender so preferred the he/him pronouns. All of the students supported him and wanted him to feel included so thoughtfully came up with the idea of teachers saying "good morning everyone" instead of "good morning girls". Cue tabloid outrage and phrases such as "pc gone mad" threw all over social media.
The students were happy, the teachers were happy. Yet people who the issue did not effect at all were outraged.

Has happened twice at my school. One pupil left to go to a mixed school, the other was in year 11 so stayed, used opposite pronouns and the disabled toilet.

I also went to an all girl's school, not the same one, and a someone who was always lovely to everyone yet quite quiet and had sad eyes, left and no one ever heard from them again.
It turned out they were transgender and had spent their whole time wanting to be a boy but scared to come out in an all girl's Catholic school.
It's such a shame that their teenage years were ruined, I know we all would've accepted him and made him feel welcome.

But they aren’t the other sex - which is why there is nothing wrong with a transboy at an all girls school. They’re still female, regardless of their belief. Whether remaining at an all girls school (in this example) is suitable for such a child, in terms of validating their gender identity, is up to the parents and the child. Personal belief doesn’t, however, change unchangeable fact - as upsetting for the individual as that may be.

A transgirl joining an all girls school would mean that the school is no longer single sex. It’s one of the big issues that gender critical parents are having with, e.g. girl guiding at the moment.

And the other kids didn't bat an eyelid (forgot to say).

I had a girl in my year that came out as trans in year 12. It was suggested that she left the all girls school as she's started hormone treatment. She left 2 terms before her a levels and went on to have surgeries etc. Don't think he ever sat his a levels in the end.

DD goes to an all girls school where there are a couple of trans. Female bodies but wear trousers and use male pronouns. DD does not know which toilets they use.

Had a victory recently with DD as she couldn't explain in which way the trans was actually a boy.

Boys school. Boy was trans girl. He stayed at boys school. I think that is the best way of dealing with it.

Well I would imagine that they would remain in the single sex school, considering the fact that there is no way to change your sex.
