Is the World is getting madder? :-

Surely the original idea of a school uniform was that the kids should be smart, tidy and to encourage them to be proud of the school they attended?

Later on it was decided that they also had to "conform" and it was claimed that all the kids should be "the same" so that poorer kids shouldn't stand out from the crowd. It led to some expensive uniforms being available from only one or a small number of shops which defeated the object of "poorer kids"?

Now they're on about all kids looking the same and claiming that it would help "transgender" kids? Surely, no matter which way a child had changed, they'd rather dress in the clothes of their chosen gender not blend in to a neutral gender?
