Transgender schoolchildren should be allowed to choose whether they play sport on the boys’ or girls’ team, the head of a London school has said.
Barry Mansfield, director of the £30,000-a year-Halcyon London International School in Marylebone, said there is no safety issue with trans students playing on the team they feel most comfortable on.
He also said they should be able to choose which lavatories to use, and has introduced gender neutral facilities.
