(GDST), which represents 23 all-girls private schools and two academies across Britain, updated its admission policies saying that it won\u2019t accept any applications from individuals who are \u201clegally male\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/brightongirls.gdst.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/GDST-Gender-Identity-Policy-December-2021.pdf\">document<\/a>, which was updated at the end of last year for the new term commencing in January, the GDST made clear that they remain \u201cfirmly committed to the benefits of a single-sex education for girls\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the updated admissions policy the Trust justified their decision by stating that creating a policy based on \u201cgender identity\u201d and not the \u201clegal sex recorded on a student\u2019s birth certificate\u201d would \u201cjeopardise the status of GDST schools as single-sex schools\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Trust has said they will continue to support trans pupils who are legally female, making the point that \u201can application for a gender recognition certificate can only be made from 18 years of age, so it is unlikely although not impossible that a pupil may be legally gender reassigned before leaving school\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The GDST also added that, due to their schools being all-girls schools, trans pupils may feel that \u201cmoving to a different school might be more beneficial\u201d and the schools would support this decision.<\/p>\n<p>The policy also states that if a pupil begins transitioning whilst at the school and wishes to remain there, the school will support them, and wants them to feel \u201cwelcome, safe, valued and supported\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>They also highlighted that \u201ctransphobic bullying\u201d won\u2019t be tolerated in their schools.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Study: 78 Per Cent of Trans and \u2018Non-Binary\u2019 Students Meet Criteria for
