Piers Morgan has said that wearing trousers is for boys.
The Good Morning Britain host was reacting to news that his former school has made its uniform gender-neutral by banning skirts.
Priory School in the south of England made the move to be more inclusive of its transgender pupils, and will allow students of all genders to wear shorts or skorts in summer.
Morgan, who has a history of grumpily lashing out at gender-neutral and non-binary concepts and people, tweeted: “It’s not even ‘neutral’.
“They’re just making the girls dress like boys. Utterly absurd.”
The school’s headteacher, Tony Smith, told PinkNews: “We wanted a uniform for everyone.”
He explained: “It could have been skirts for everyone, but we wanted to go with a uniform that was easy to source and supply, and that’s not easy for boys’ cuts.”
“A number” of trans students had welcomed the move when it was announced, he said, adding: “We wanted a uniform which promotes greater equality.
“We’ve done this for positive reasons. For us, it is a greater equality having the same for everybody.”
He told the Brighton Argus that his inspiration for the decision, still a radical act in 2017, came from the children.
