Surely this discriminates against the boys who want to be girls?

The problem is most likely that if a male decides to identify themselves as a girl then they would be allowed to do so and therefore be entitled to wear the same school uniform as all the other girls at the school and use the same facilities and changing rooms as all the other girls in the school.
In order to avoid a potential clothing issue they have decided to have a set uniform for all students.

Great, next we should ban the terms "He", "Him", "His" and "She", "her", "Hers".
Only "They", "Them", and "Theirs" should be permitted.
Perhaps boys could grow their hair a little longer and girls cut theirs a little shorter too.
Something needs to be done about voices also, can we teach kids to speak in a gender neutral voice too please?
Only when we can't tell the difference between girls and boys, only then will we all be free.

I can't speak for Germany on this issue but I can say with some confidence that:
It wouldn't happen in Japan.
They love a good school girl uniform over here.

If that is genuinely how the Telegraph spelt it, that is utterly shocking - how can someone get a job with a newspaper with that level of literacy?

School uniform rules are an area which have caused a problem for a number of schools, for example many schools have had rules that say girls can wear a small pair of earstuds but boys are not allowed to wear any sort of ear jewellry. A boy at a school near me was sent home for wearing earstuds, his parents challenged this on the grounds that it was discriminatory; the school accepted that it was and changed their rules.
This prompted a discussion about school uniform rules in general, for example why did boys have to wear ties and girls didn't, why could girls wear skirts but boys couldn't, with the result that the uniform rules are now not gender specific - everyone has to wear a tie and boys can wear skirts if they want to. It would actually be simpler to specify trousers for everybody and I suspect that this may be a way that an increasing number of schools go.
Don't really see why it is "lefty" or "PC bollocks" - it just makes the rules simpler and fairer for everyone (and as has already been discussed, enforcing the rules on girls' skirt lengths is a tedious and never-ending chore for many teachers...)

Why can't rules be more complex and adhered do?
I can think of a couple of teachers at Hove Park, in the 80s, who 100% would NEVER have asked a girl to adjust her skirt back to uniform length.

Don't worry, soon everyone will finally be equal and then nuclear warfare will wipe everyone out.

Most secondary schools DO have a minimum skirt length but you honestly think the pupils care?
It won't stop them rolling them up to make them shorter. The school can't win. Parents either complain about skirt lengths and demand something is done and then the other half complain about the action that was taken.
