Equal Rights for Uniforms

Looking for the old results?
At most schools boys have to wear trousers, and girls can wear trousers, shorts, skirts or dresses. But some boys want to wear skirts/dresses, and some need to for medical reasons (eg. eczema). Is this fair? (NB: If a question has tick-boxes for answers, you can tick as many as you like)
