Irony alert, everyone is wearing gowns.

Gendered outfits have existed throughout every culture and era in history. About 5 minutes ago, we decided gender was a feeling rather than a biological fact, and now we are going to pretend gender signifiers are creepy. OK.

Gendered dress codes are creepy.

They have been the norm since recorded history. And if this is your stance, it nullifies the trans girls entire argument. She would have no reason to prefer the male or female version of the uniform, rather, she should be arguing that no students should get to wear pants. She is making the opposite argument, that dresses are integral to her identity as a female.

Um no, she’s arguing that all students should get to wear pants AND that all students should get to wear dresses.

Um, if you reject gendered dress codes that means you believe people should wear what they most feel comfortable and appropriate in, regardless of gender. Your argument makes no sense. Any of the girls should have been able to wear pants if they so chose. And any of the boys should be able to wear a dress or robes if they so choose. Lots of cultures where men where dresses. Even male priests wear dresses in church in our culture.

Break out of your rigid thinking and support freedom.

So what. You know what else has existed throughout every culture and era in history? Transgenderism.

It's creepy to insist that girls wear white dresses. Really creepy. If I were on my period I'd say no way.

Actually if I were this girl's classmate I would have worn a shirt dress with a tie and long sleeves as well as socks and sensible "boy" shoes and cut my hair short "like a boy" and absolutely no makeup.

And then encouraged her to come to ceremony in full makeup, hair do, high heels, and sassy white shirt and pants.

Freedom!

Women in Texas are being denied abortions until they’re septic. Minorities out there have real problems and face consequential discrimination. A solipsistic white male not being able to wear a dress isn’t news worthy and wasn’t worthy of the court’s time either.

It is a LOCAL question. Mind your own business.

Agreed - and we're going to bring back slavery. it's our LOCAL thing. Lynching parties and the whole nine yards. Mind your own business.

A white male wearing pants isn’t comparable to slavery, you arrogant, racist, trolling buffoon.

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?

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.

I’d be more worried about who’s influencing my kid’s mental health to be so poor that wearing a pair of pants, which “she” wore all “her” life until two seconds ago, is such a big deal now. A sense of proportion is key to happiness.

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.

Where do you get any of this from? The photo I’ve seen of this person looks like a cross-dressing dude.

In the south land, we just don’t do that.

We’ll mind our states and you mind your own.

You don’t speak for me. Southerners love drama they just make sure it’s approved by their masters.

Did they or their parents try to change the policy before the lawsuit?

What policy was the girl breaking “for a time”?
