//A young male person who came to identify as female might not feel at ease in a co-educational school.
Has this plan been fully thought through?//
And a young female may not feel at ease with someone 'identifying' as a female, have you thought this through or dont you care about the majority of women (& men)?
A Co-ed should be perfect for them.

What about all the young girls who might not feel at ease sharing facilities with a boy identifying as female? I don't really know why I'm asking you, sandyRoe. I suspect you have your wooden spoon out again - but it's a topic of conversation I suppose. ;o)

Conversely, does a young trans boy (ie, an FTM trans person) belong in an all-girls' school?
I don't see that this is anything other than reactionary -- and not well thought-through at that. The first point is that it frames all transgender people, young or otherwise, as potential threats, in a way that is grossly unfair and counterproductive. The second point is that, if the intent is ultimately to "discourage" people from being trans, it doesn't even achieve that. Adversarial attitudes tend only to drive people even deeper into whatever is prompting that reaction. The better thing to do is to provide a safe, open environment to explore these thoughts and feelings, and let people come to the conclusion themselves that it was, or wasn't, after all who they were.
If all we're doing is looking for ways to isolate, reject, ostracise these young kids, it's inevitably going to cause damage. Clearly you have to consider the majority too, but that can be done without penalising the minority.
This is Section 28 all over again, just with a different target. It was wrong then; it is wrong now.

Rot.
It is to protect the majority. Women should not have penis's in their changing rooms, neither should they be competing against them and all the myriad of issues these few trans activists have caused.
Being trans is not new, many have managed perfectly and still do and would prefer the fuss to die down. The fuss often caused by people who are not trans but taking offence on their behalf.
