Honestly, I don't want anyone to go through what I went through.

I understand your point, i think it will be unanimously shared by everybody in the world pretty much.
I dont like your method. Its more of a "stop hitting yourself, you big dumb idiot" approach

Not at all... if boys identify as female, they could still wear trousers. Women wear trousers. I agree everyone should be free to express themselves - well, in this country, we're lucky to have the freedoms we have - but I don't agree with giving the bullies ammunition.

I understand your concern, and all students wearing trousers makes sense to me too. Some schools just want to give students more options.
I think the option to wear skirts will become increasingly common in the next decade, so common that it probably wouldnt even phase a bully. And then where are we in ten years? Somewhere a hell of a lot more accepting of gender issues than now. This school is one of the first (but not the first i dont think?). And more will be coming, so idk. Prepare?
