They’re kids. I say let them wear they like. They will figure out what’s right for them on their own without anyone telling them what they should or shouldn’t do.

The advice given by the Church of England to its schools is clear, and refers to the kind of 'dressing up' box which many schools have for their early years pupils, thus:
The advice states: “In the early years context and throughout primary school, play should be a hallmark of creative exploration.
“Pupils need to be able to play with the many cloaks of identity (sometimes quite literally with the dressing up box). Children should be at liberty to explore the possibilities of who they might be without judgement or derision.
“For example, a child may choose the tutu, princess’s tiara and heels and/or the fireman’s helmet, tool belt and superhero cloak without expectation or comment.”
It adds: “Children should be afforded freedom from the expectation of permanence. They are in a ‘trying on’ stage of life, and not yet adult and so no labels need to be fixed.
“This should inform the language teachers use when they comment, praise or give instructions.
“It may be best to avoid labels and assumptions which deem children’s behaviour irregular, abnormal or problematic just because it does not conform to gender stereotypes or today’s play preferences.”

It is no surprise that the Daily Mail should use this as a stick to beat the C of E, which it has decided is a 'liberal' 'left' institution ever since the Bishops produced a critique of Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s; but there is no 'ruling' of any kind that boys should wear tutus and tiaras, it merely advises teachers to let children explore, which is what children do. Perhaps the Daily Mail will now attack childhood?

It's funny how the same people who argue that anything other than heterosexuality is 'unnatural' also seem to think that attachment to heterosexuality is so fragile that a bit of cross-dressing as a child could turn people away from it for life.
