Trans pupil ‘had to show head Equality Act’ to wear female clothing for exam

A trans teenager has said she had to show her headmaster a copy of the Equality Act before he would allow her to sit an exam wearing female clothing.

16-year-old Ashlyn Parram’s parents have complained after she was told to return home and change her clothes.

She was then allowed to sit the exam but was segregated from other pupils.
