Oxford University changes dress code to meet needs of transgender students
Source: The Guardian
Oxford University has rewritten the laws governing its strict academic dress code following concerns that they were unfair towards transgender students.
Under the new regulations, students taking exams or attending formal occasions will no longer have to wear ceremonial clothing that is specific to their gender.
It will mean men will be able to sit tests in skirts and stockings and women will have the option of wearing suits and bow ties.
The laws, which come into force next week, follow a motion put forward by the university's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer society (LGBTQ Soc) was passed by the student union.

Is identifying the elite who are conducting financial warfare on the masses as simple as looking at the gang colors people either choose or are forced to wear? Or are the criminals merely hiding under gang colors, and they would wear some other colors if hiding demanded it?
