Thousands of people have signed a petition after an all-girls school in Nottingham said it would not allow transgender pupils to be admitted.
Nottingham East MP, Nadia Whittome, has backed the petition, which has so far garnered around 4,000 signatures, saying the ban could be "potentially unlawful".
It arrives as the Girls’ Day School Trust, which runs Nottingham Girls' High School, has come under fire for its admission policy, which is based on the legal sex recorded on a student's birth certificate, rather than their gender identity.
