Why not just come out and say why you think she would want to go into the school rather than cloaking it in question form?
I am waiting to see what their reply is to the Times reporter , tho they are strangely quiet after being discovered.
Well you’re not waiting to comment are you, it’s quite obvious what your are implying.

Yes it is, you’ve already described it as ‘creepy’ it’s plainly obvious what you think.

Middle aged , late transitioning males aka transwomen going into a girls school to give “safeguarding” advice to teenage girls who may be wanting to transition for very different reasons?

Not creepy in the slightest
No one from Global Butterflies gave any advice to any girls at the school. Read the tweets again - they gave a presentation to the staff.

Same difference, same issues. Let’s see if they school doubles down or not.

If so why?

Imagine a charity that is working for inclusiveness with trans and nb issues not wanting to give a paper that's been at the centre of the recent press attacks on the trans community more ammunition.

No. I was hoping you'd say 'no'.

Head Boy/Head Girl have been around decades - and aren't weird at all.

When fewer than 1% of the school don't identify as girls/female, it seems a tad kneejerk. Seems at least some of the staff agree.

I went to school just across the river. SPSG was always a target rich environment. Helped by us spanking the Boy's school at rowing repetitively.
Did you go to Latymer then?

As soon as a student says they aren’t the right gender then they should do th right thing and leave, so that the remaining girls can be proud.

The trans movement has done more to set back the rights of cis women than any other movement

Though I wouldnt make the decision to go this way myself, for many reasons (some likely due to me me being a crusty man with nothing to do with a girls only school or their life / education) how exactly does changing the name of 'head girl' to something else have any effect at all on a bunch of largely middle aged, car obsessed wierd men?

Its their school life, their future, their problem.

Indeed.

I’m all for trans rights but I’m all for cis rights too.

An all girls school should be just that. There’s mixed gender schools in the public sector

Like I said look beyond the headlines.

From our very foundation in 1904 and for decades afterwards, the senior student was called ‘Head of the School’, so in making the change, we are confirming, not denying, our ethos and traditions.

I doubt they had woke or non-binary or whatever people want to try and blame it on now to worry about back then.
People haven't made up the binary aspect of the story as a motivation for the change. The school said it themselves.

Neither is that they used to use a different description why they're making the change now.

The trans movement has done no such thing.

The non binary movement (if you can call it that) is, at least in part, a direct reaction to societal issues around a minority of men and the growing misandry that is hidden in feminism. For many it’s about saying “I will not let a single chromosome define how I act, how I dress and how I live my life and I will not be held responsible for the actions of people just because we have the same genitalia”.

How?
Sports is a good start

Or how a male transgender gets to tell other women how they should respond to this new encroachment into their personal spaces and areas of concern
