Right, how dare anyone think that just because she [/b]dressed as a girl [/b]all through high school and to the prom and the principal and staff and students never had a problem with it, she would be allowed to wear a nice dress that no one would see under her graduation gown without the superintendent inventing a new rule.

LOL. So, on the one hand, clothes supposedly have no gender, but when a boy puts on a dress, he’s “dressing as a girl.” Do you even have the capacity for critical thinking? You sound like a clown contradicting yourself all over the place.

Clothes are what you think they are. This particular girl liked dresses. My girl likes pants. Jesus never wore anything but a robe. Vive la difference.

You slipped though. You used the phrase “dressing as a girl” to refer to wearing dresses, which means you equate dresses to female gender. Ooops! Keep your story straight next time.

That was me, a different poster than the one you responded to. I said the student “dressed as a girl” because the student identifies as a girl and your hero superintendent commanded that she must dress as a boy. In other words, maybe over your head, I’m talking about a specific case in which a trans girl wants to wear a dress and should be allowed to. The other poster is referencing that other girls may want to wear pants and they also should be allowed to do so. There is no contradiction. I’m not the one forcing every girl to dress the same and every boy to dress the same. That’s your guy, the bully superintendent. I think we are both saying that students should be able to wear what they want to wear under their graduation gowns.

Wearing pants is dressing like a boy? It’s 2023! Stop that!

…no one ever tell this dude about Scottish weddings. He’ll be triggered for days.

That's not a dress. Have you ever met a Scotsman?

Married one. In his kilt. Amazing how supportive people were.

Seriously you need to find something else to be outraged about. This is ridiculous because plenty of cultures have men wearing skirts or skirted garments.

I got married in a kilt and have several that I wear regularly. There are many other cultures that have their own variations of "dresses" for men as well. And, if you look at photos from the turn of the century it's not unusual to see young boys in dresses.



That picture is FDR as a boy. It was not unusual for boys to not get their first haircut until 6 or 7 years old, and to wear what would be called a dress. Back then, there was also no such thing as "pink is for girls, blue is for boys."

I think we’re all good with people being gender nonconforming (except Reddit, lol). In fact, many of us ‘transphobes’ think that the emphasis on superficial aspects of being a woman are incredibly reductive and wrong.

You're mistaken. Trans kids and non-binary kids are not only in tune with their gender (and sex) but they are also expanding the definition of men and women, too. These kids know more about men and women than we do. They also know more about pants and dresses and who can wear them and who can't.

This thread (about normalizing AMAB people wearing dresses) makes me think of the incomparable Billy Porter’s gorgeous red carpet gowns. Which makes me sad because so many awesome gay boys are being taught that they’re not enough as a feminine boy. That they are women, not gay men. It’s like Iran.

I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. They are narrowing the definition of gender. “To be a woman” simply means outwardly conforming to stereotypical female behavior. It’s asinine to believe that people’s bodies are the problem, not society’s gender expectations.

Pp again. Also, you think that children should not only make life-altering (even blockers) decisions based on what they think a man and a woman are, but that they somehow have a more advanced understanding than anyone lose? Surely that sounds ridiculous, even to you.

Anyone else, not anyone lose. Sorry.

Don’t be intentionally dense. The student wanted to wear a dress and the superintendent overrode the principal and said the student had to wear black pants, black shoes, white shirt, and tie “like a boy”. One girl who wore pants was taken out of line for dressing like a boy and not allowed to walk in graduation. The principal who let the trans girl dress as she wanted for four years was not allowed to attend her school’s graduation. The graduates should be allowed to wear what they want to wear. That is the point. Why are you defending the bully superintendent?

It’s turning into a micromanaging state. The only thing that should be banned are Crocs. Crocs are the worst. If he wanted to wear a dress, fine. No crocs though.

I think you are missing a large chunk of info...society defines men and women by their clothing. When trans people first transition, the only way they can express/be seen as the gender they feel is by clothing. It's a way of "passing."

It's worse than "missing a large chunk of info". She's being purposely ignorant. The fact is, the superintendent of the school defined girls as wearing dresses and boys as wearing pants. A conservative. Reinforcing gendered stereotypes. Then anti-trans conservatives come on here and say that trans girls are ACTUALLY the ones reinforcing stereotypes by wanting to wear dresses to graduation.

If I were that kid, I would wear a tailored dress and pants suit under my gown at graduation.

In the south, malicious compliance is where it's at.

Someone please explain to me what is "Christian" about going out of your way to ruin one of the best days of a kid's life over something as trivial as what they're wearing under their graduation gown?

Have these people even read the New Testament?

It’s cute that you think they read anything besides the crawl along the bottom of the screen on Fox News.

It should be bigger news that the female principal who allowed the transgender student to wear what she wanted for four years, was not allowed to attend her school’s graduation and is not allowed to speak about any of this. The local newspaper reported that the whole thing was triggered when the Superintendent attended an event for honor graduates at one of the other two county high schools and one of the honor students was a transgender girl wearing a dress. That’s when he called all the principals demanding that that would not be allowed at graduation ceremonies.

I’m confident she’ll have the opportunity to have her say in a deposition when this school gets sued.
