[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe how quickly we turned into a society where people support a boy wearing a dress to an event.  This country is screwed. [/quote]

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

That's not a dress.  Have you ever met a Scotsman?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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."[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]
