hi
my son has a boyfriend the boyfriend used to be a girl, my son has been gay sine he was born, the boyfriend has always identified as a gay man they have been dating for a year (they told me two months ago) they're a really sweet couple the boyfriend is quite manly and has a unisex name the school has a summer uniform where the girls wear skirts boys shorts they tried to tell the boyfriend that since he was born a girl he must wear a skirt, my son is planning with his friends as a protest to wear skirts to school. i'm quite proud but i want to know whether i am being unreasonable by sticking my nose in and complaining to the school, the boyfriend lives in a care home where they don't care much about anything. am i being unreasonable

I've just googled and it might be worth your son's boyfriend contacting a law firm that specialises in this type of case to confirm if the school are breaking the law and if so whether he can get legal aid to be represented.

I suspect a nice letter from a solicitor may sort the problem PDQ.

I wouldn't have thought so - it is winter there!

Is she not a girl. Like just cause you identify with being a gay male is she still not female? Silly rule about skirts for girls though.
