Oxford University students will no longer have to wear gender-specific academic clothing after concerns it was unfair to the transgender community.
It will mean men can attend formal occasions in skirts and stockings and women in suits and bow ties.
The new rules come after a motion by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer society (LGBTQ Soc) was passed by the students’ union earlier this year.
The changes, to start from 4 August, have now been agreed by the university.

One of next year’s libraries, I suppose. Lucky me. Rather intimidating, really.
If I ever get to Oxford, it will have been in spite of Student Finance England and their persistent motherfuckery. Words cannot express how angry their advisers and their Stalinist website make me.
