[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My HS did this for Spirit Week in the 80s as well, but hopefully we've evolved as a society since then.  It's not appropriate because it reinforces gender stereotypes, and makes it a joke to dress up in a way that is traditionally of the opposite sex.  Making this somehow strange or hilarious is why transgendered kids commit suicide, folks.  Think a little bit.[/quote]

I posted about the my HS doing it in the 80s. We also had the punks wearing skirts to school on regular days. I went to school with 3 transgendered students. Well they did not have their operations until their mid-20s. The bullying they went through wasn't related to the "cross dressing" day during spirit week. I think spirit week is stupid. But to suggest that "cross dressing day" is what leads to suicide seem to woefully miss the other 364 days of the year when they struggle with gender roles. [/quote]

:roll:

No, "cross dressing day" = suicide.  It's the ATTITUDE behind this type of thing, which is a reflection of the society at large, which is what is the problem.  But way to completely miss the point.[/quote]
