Looks like the right wing is looking for a new Boogeyman.

There is cross-dressing every day in my kids’ school. The number of girls showing up wearing trousers and T-shirts is on the rise, for example, and is practically commonplace.


What? Since when are “trousers” otherwise known as pants and a tshirt been considered cross dressing for girls? I teach at a middle school and that’s what ever child, girl and boy, wears everyday.


1954?


That post was obviously tongue in cheek.


PP here. Yes, of course. I got that. I was playing along, supporting the point.

Not sure which post to answer. DCUM is usually such a good sounding board. But not this time. Yes this is in the DMV. I am posting in DCUM. It is a sports team spirit week event. The coach was aware and either explicitly or implicitly sanctioned it. I have a transgendered child who chooses to dress in both traditionally male and traditionally female clothes but it it not this child. My child was uncomfortable with cross dressing day and raised it to the team and got nowhere - she’s young and not so forceful, but she raised it and I am proud of her. Because of her discomfort, she raised it to me. I had a visceral reaction to it and it was set for the next day so I didn’t have time to check in with friends. So I tried here but got zero help or insight.

It is a real thing. Some schools still do powder puff events. FWIW I contacted the principal and athletic director and it was cancelled.


Well, your op was vague. Most here probably assumed this was a school-wide event. Now it sounds to me as though you are saying it is a team activity? After reading this post I can't say it helped me understand the situation. I'm sorry.

Isn't a powder puff game a game where one gender plays the sport that is not typically played by the other? The one I am familiar with is girls playing football, but that's not really the same is cross dressing.

Never heard of it OP.

But have you heard about "women-less" weddings they traditionally had back in the old days down South? I have. Google it OP.

From this thread so far, my answer is “None”.

Sounds like DCPS found a new event to add to the calendar.

We used to have Opposite Day and a lot of girls would dress like boys and vice Versa. But never heard of a specific “cross dressing” day
