As a growing number of the nation's schools work to embrace transgender students and enact policies to protect their rights, there's a movement afoot in Maryland's Montgomery County to make graduation robes gender-neutral, with one color for all. Some students argue that no one should have to wear a garment that doesn't reflect who they are, nor should there be any separation between the genders as they all cross into adulthood.
===================
This was an issue at our school. Some genderqueer students were unhappy at being separated by gender.
Our school, all were the same color.
Lucky you guys. Ours were not 2 colors and 2 dress codes. One for the girls and one for the guys.
