Single-sex schools will be able to reject transgender pupils under new government guidelines.
The move comes after school leaders and governors met with lawyers amid fears about discrimination claims from parents of transgender pupils if they refused to accommodate them.
The guidance, which will apply to all state and independent single-sex schools in England and be issued in weeks, is being drawn up by Education Secretary Gillian Keegan and equalities minister Kemi Badenoch.
Under it, school leaders will also be able to refuse demands by pupils to use different pronouns. A Department for Education source said: 'Single-sex schools can refuse to admit pupils of the other legal sex regardless of whether the child is questioning their gender.'
Agreed. Even more so because Kemi Bademoch is involved. She would be PM material if she wasn’t so principled, honest, genuine and morally backboned. Only corruptocrat psychopaths need apply!

Yeah. No matter who they use to get it through; suddenly regular schools will be single-sex.
Best for everyone, actually.
