As a record number of anti-LGBTQ state bills are introduced across the country, school districts are following suit with their own restricti
Lil Kalish at HuffPost:
Schools across the country have denied students entry to prom, graduation ceremonies and other school activities because of dress code policies that advocates say disproportionately impact LGBTQ+ students and girls.
In May, 16-year-old Florida junior Sophie Savidge told NBC News that she wasnât allowed to go to prom because she wore a suit. In a statement at the time, the school pointed to its online guide to attire, which stipulates that âladiesâ are required to wear dresses and âone piece attire onlyâ to formal events.
A transgender student in Alabama reportedly wasnât allowed to go to her senior prom in April because she wore a dress. The schoolâs student handbook said that it was up to administrators to âdeem appropriate clothing or appearance,â according to AL.com.
And the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi filed a federal complaint with the Department of Education against Harrison County School District for barring a transgender girl from wearing a dress to her regional band concert this spring. The complaint detailed a two-year pattern of the district punishing girls â transgender and cisgender alike â for violating dress codes requiring students to dress in clothes that are âconsistent with their biological sex.â
The school district added the provision of âbiological sexâ to its dress code after LGBTQ+ students complained that they couldnât wear clothes that expressed their gender identity, said Liz Davis, a fellow at the ACLUâs Womenâs Rights Project.
School administrators have long used dress codes to enforce a rigid gender binary and uphold different standards based on assigned sex. This year, there has been a renewed effort in school districts across GOP-led states to enforce policies that are more explicitly restrictive to queer, trans and gender nonconforming students, as a record number of anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in statehouses across the country.
âRequiring students to dress according to their biological sex âeven if it seems to be neutral as a rule, and itâs not calling out any particular student â has a disproportionate impact on gender nonconforming, nonbinary and transgender students because it is tying gender expression to their sex assigned at birth, essentially,â Davis said.
Students who are targeted over dress code infractions can lose out on class time or face punishments like suspension, and may face emotional distress from being pulled from class and told to change, she said.
Sex-based dress codes often force boys to wear pants and girls to wear skirts or dresses of a certain length. Advocates say these rules push rigid gender stereotypes and outdated, misogynistic ideas of how girls should dress in the presence of boys. And they leave no room for less traditional gender expression.

Policies that purport to bring âclarityâ to sex discrimination laws by codifying definitions of âmaleâ and âfemaleâ in order to exclude trans people from those categories often use exceedingly specific language that also fails to account for intersex people. The language embedded in these policies, often called âWomenâs Bill of Rightsâ bills, was first proposed by Independent Womenâs Voice, a conservative organization that has argued itâs necessary to protect women-only spaces and activities from trans peopleâs inclusion.
So far this year, at least 10 states have introduced or passed similarly worded legislation to narrowly define âbiological sexâ based on a personâs reproductive capacity or chromosomes. Oklahomaâs governor just signed the stateâs own version of a Womenâs Bill of Rights into law on Monday. Last year Arizona Rep. Debbie Lesko (R) introduced a Womenâs Bill of Rights resolution to Congress, though itâs made no progress since.
Some state-level legislation now includes definitions of sex that explicitly bar trans people from updating their drivers licenses or state IDs, which makes it harder to vote, travel, and exist in public life.
Advocates say that an emphasis on âbiological sexâ has negative ramifications for all people, including cisgender women, because it encourages people to police one anotherâs gender â including kids. People have harassed child athletes who they suspect are transgender, and one state official in Utah came under fire for falsely suggesting that a student was transgender because of how she looked.
School dress codes are yet another tool in the weapon to suppress LGBTQ+ expression in schools.

While it's available: Florence + the Machine at the Proms -- Symphony of Lungs.
Kate Solomon for The Guardian: "As the grand high witch of maximalism, the Proms is the ideal way for Welch to revisit the pained howl of Lungs, her 2009 debut album that wears its heartbreak like a scar. 'When I first heard Jules [Buckley's] orchestration, I cried,' she tells the audience in her whisper-soft speaking voice. 'This album is about feeling and I never thought anyone could add more feeling. But Jules did.'"
