I mean, I'm republican and I guess this is silly. I'm surprised the school pushed that hard, but also surprised that this resulted in litigation and national attention. It's pants. Under a gown. That's pretty androgynous.

So it should be fine for all the girls who wanted to wear pants to wear pants, right?

Yep. You can see it in posts here. There’s lots of claims that all the kids are being transed. Conservatives really do get so wound up about whatever they’re told to be afraid of.

Yes, I mean, the entire thing is so petty that even I, lover of petty things, am just kind of astounded at the whole thing. Graduation outfits are as nonbinary as it gets. Who cares. Trans girl overreacting, parents hysterically hiring an attorney, the judge ordering "no, you will wear pants under your shiny gown." The level of wtf here is impressive.

So you wouldn't stick up for your kid who was told something stupid by their school and was forced to do something that went against their very sense of themselves in order to participate in a major childhood ritual? Not impressed.

No. I would not sue about this. It's all too ridiculous. Women wear pants too.

You got it wrong. The school overreacted.

And this outfit is mostly a dress anyway.

Also the natural outgrowth of this is that males and females at school and work will have to wear androgynous outfits and only men will be able to dress as women. Just no. This entire thing is a nope.

And every man will be forced to be marry another man. Natural outgrowth, right?

The trans girl was specifically told she had to “dress like a boy.”

If your non trans daughter was told she had to wear pants even while all the other girls wore dresses and she wanted to wear a dress too, you wouldn’t stick up for her? Some parent you are.

The whole thing of forcing boys and girls into gendered outfits, especially forcing girls into dresses, is just creepy.

I’m against gendered dress codes since study after study has found they’re only used to police girls/women. A dress code can be easily written in a neutral way and when schools don’t do so, we have the national embarrassments we have here of a school policing what is worn under a fully encompassing garment.

Girls must wear dresses. Boys must wear pants. You, a trans girl on hormones that has looks, sounds, and acts like a girl must wear pants. I don’t care that you look physically like a girl, have curves, breasts, and long hair. Why? Because I, the superintendent of the schools, have decided that a trans girl is a boy. Imagine a trans boy with a beard being told to wear a dress.

For some reason, they don’t care much about trans boys/trans men. I think because they don’t see them as real men, and as women they feel like they can dominate them even if they’re bearded. It’s as though they haven’t considered that by insisting you use the bathroom of the gender you were assigned at birth, they’re not just embarrassing trans women by making them use the men’s restroom, they’ll be sending masculine appearing trans men into the bathroom with their daughters. Of course they’re going to do stupid stuff like trying to make life difficult for a trans teen who only wants to participate in her graduation ceremony. They’re not that bright and don’t care what they look like to the rest of the world, insisting on gendered dress codes.
