A beautiful British boy wears a skirt to school to protest against school rules

A 12-year-old blonde boy showed up to school wearing what appeared to be a girls' uniform to protest against school rules.
He has very handsome features and looks like a girl at first glance, but he is a boy. Apparently, he wore a skirt to school to protest against the school rules.

Chris Whitehead (12) started a protest by wearing a skirt to school, claiming that school rules were unfair to boys and girls.
The school rules state that students must wear a black, knee-length skirt without slits that is not tight, or long pants that are not too tight, but not too loose. There is no gender specification for this item.
'Girls can change into long pants when it's cold and into skirts when it's hot, but it's unfair that boys have to endure wearing long pants even in the summer,' said Chris, who wore a skirt to school to protest against the current situation in which wearing shorts is illegal.
He appears to be openly protesting, commenting, 'Wearing a skirt is like wearing shorts with a hole in the middle, so I'm not ashamed of it.'
By the way, the school rules at his school are decided through discussions between teachers and parents, and are roughly as strict as those at Japanese junior and senior high schools. For starters, casual clothing such as jeans and cargo pants are prohibited, and while one pair of earrings or piercings is permitted, wearing conspicuous accessories is not allowed.
The girl's uniform he is wearing is one he borrowed from his sister, Joanna (11). He proudly walked into school with 30 supporters holding signs with protest messages written on them, which they had collected by distributing flyers.
His parents were supportive of his protest, and his mother, Liz, a math teacher, said, 'I'm proud of Chris for taking action based on his beliefs.' His father, Brian, who works for a publishing company, said, 'He has very creative ideas. I was worried he would be criticized for doing something like this, but Chris seemed to just shrug it off and get away with it.'
The school's principal, Robert Campbell, responded favorably to Chris's protest, saying, 'Under the school rules, Chris certainly has the right to wear a skirt, and he is trying to create a legitimate argument. We will have to reconsider the uniform rules.' Chris's actions appear to be bearing fruit.
Chris will continue to wear a skirt to school for the time being, and his protests will likely continue until the school rules are changed so that he and other boys can wear shorts to school.
