Interesting story which should help transgendered students take exams. Never knew they had such a strict policy in place before this new change. Don't like the use of gay in the title though.

holy moly.
The comments over there... Criminy.
In the wake of that OTHER SCHOOL over there doing the exact opposite... this is real nice to see.

Oxford university alters exam dress code
Can also lead to bigotry and bullying if/when a student chooses to take that option.

All sorts of errors there
including their use of the word 'gender'.
It appears that the comments are very bigoted, hypocrtical,
homophobic and downright disrespectful of transgender persons. I applaud Oxford's humanitarian decision. I am just appalled at the comments most of them made. Of course my comments were in defense of our way of life, but still, there will be some that will still believe that being transgender is a want instead of a need.

The story is on Yahoo
I have found that way too many of the commenters of stories on Yahoo are only commenting because they are dickheads.

I suggest people remember what Dean Swift coined the word for...
Alter....Gay? Dress....hmmm....

I just find it odd ...
... that there is a dress code at all. I wasn't clever enough to go to university, though my school was an Oxford oriented one, but all the exams I took after school from 16 to 25 were only interested that I understood the subject not what I wore. It's worrying that one of our great seats of learning bothers with such nonsense.
However the comments on the article are mostly truly awful. I choose to believe, perhaps naively, that they represent only a small proportion of the population at large.
