Dd's trust is cracking down on uniform and has insisted that girls wear skorts and no longer wear leggings. Apparently tight leggings sexualise them (but a teeny skort doesn't?)
Dd has scars on her legs from self harm and will not wear a skort without leggings. So to the psu she goes. Every bloody lesson. Despite the school knowing about the issue. Now they have said she alone out of all the girls in the class will have to get changed under supervision at school to ensure correct uniform. This is crazy, right? Surely?
I have sent part of my ppa today googling research that suggests clothing and the impact it has on girls reduces sports participation. I well remember being a chonky lass forced into gym pants and hating it. Boys commenting. Feeling fucking terrible.
Is it just her school that is victorian or are all secondaries still making girls basically wear a miniskirt to do sport?
