At the end of this article. I don't see why MtF would get to go in the girls at all. They can use the male changing rooms first, as per their sex. Good news on the actual competitive sports though.

"The education secretary also disclosed new details of new guidance which aims to support transgender children in schools. He said that trans children should be “accommodated” and that trans girls could be allowed to use girls’ changing rooms before others do so.

He also said trans children should be allowed to wear the uniform of their choice but that trans girls should not be allowed to join girls’ sports teams competing in single-sex matches or fixtures. “If you are biologically stronger you should compete with people who are biologically equal,” he said."

It’s a ridiculous proposal. What are the other students expected to do whilst waiting for the ‘trans’ student to change?

Quite. Why must a whole class of girls be inconvenienced in preference of the trans student? How is that proportionate or fair. Still, the girls get the message early on that their needs are subordinate to those of males. Job done patriarchy. 🤷‍♀️

There's now another article in which this line is repeated about girls having to wait for the "trans child":

Why can't the boys wait instead, while the trans child uses the correct changing room for their sex?

Currently our trans identifying students, of which there are many use the single accessible toilet and changing room. They use it individually and this means that the students with actual, physical disabilities who actually need that room and can

Sent too soon - cant get changed otherwise can't use it.

It's unacceptable to say that girls go second to a male. It'll be the same approach used by adults to tell women they're second best, too. Who thought this was good advice to give and why did he accept it?!
