Over 150 parents and pupils have staged a protest outside Priory School in Lewes, UK, as the secondary school made trousers compulsory for all students for the new term. Both new and existing students have to wear gender neutral uniforms. According to the school, the new rules were released because "concerns" had been raised over the length of girls' skirts. And it also catered for a handful of transgender pupils. However, some protesters say pupils should have a choice to wear skirts, while others believe cloth is being wasted.

　　据国外媒体报道，当地时间9月6日，英国80所公立学校(含40所小学)已出台中性校服的相关政策，允许女生穿裤子，男生穿裙子。但是在英国雷威斯Priory学校门口，许多学生、家长一起集体抗议新施行的中性校服政策。家长吐槽学校突然的决定有点像“脱欧”，并不环保。校方则表示有超过40个学校有同样着装要求，是为了减少学生攀比。

　　报道称，英国伯明翰Allens Croft小学的校长保拉•韦弗(Paula Weaver)表示，“一年多前，我们就出台了校服不分性别的政策，” Allens Croft小学被认为是英国第一所明示中性校服政策的公立小学，以此改变教职工及家长的措辞和联想。“这就意味着我们期待儿童穿统一的校服，只不过他们可以自由选择穿校服套装中自己喜欢的任一单品。”

　　英国其他学校则摒弃按照校服特征指代性别的做法。英国东萨西克斯公立中学Uplands社区学校的副校长利安娜•理查兹(Liana Richards)解释道，“今年开始，我们不再沿用女式校服和男式校服的说法，而改为裙装校服和裤装校服的区分，这种转变承认学生认为性别二分法则并不适用的权利。目前，有些女学生已开始选择系领带穿裤装校服。”
