[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once my Indian roommate wanted me to wear one of her saris and she would dress me up for Halloween.  I was interested, but ultimately decided against it because I didn't want anyone to think it was insensitive.  She said she didn't think it was offensive, but I was afraid others might.
Then, I more recently wanted to go as the bearded lady from The Greatest Showman, and my sister said that offensive [to women with beards], so I didn't do it either.

So I guess no... unless being Hawaiian theme is insensitive (?).  I have worn a bikini top / hula skirt 20 years ago.

I am sure I went to a mixers that couldn't happen anymore... pimps and hoes...  Secretaries and CEOs... [/quote]

Hawaiian shirts are a symbol of an extremist movement known as “Boog bios” - who include armed LGTBQ activists like Ryan Teeter:

“Teeter, in an interview with CNN, said he identifies as an anarchist. His mission in Minneapolis, he said, was to protect protesters from police abuse and white supremacists, whom he deplores.

"I'm a member of the LGBT community," said Teeter, who describes himself as a non-voting "left anarchist...People think I'm part of a Nazi group; I'm not."
But, he added, "I don't think people should be forced to bake the cake," referring to a US Supreme Court case that stemmed from the refusal of a Christian owner of a bakery in Colorado to provide a wedding cake for a gay couple.”
