    I went to a pretty uptight Lutheren high school 25 years ago and one of my male classmates wore a dress to prom because he wanted to. No one got upset and he was very happy. Too many edgelords are in positions of power these days.

    I hope she’s got a non-shithole state lined up to move to once she’s done with secondary school.

    Suits and similar “nice,” “professional,” and “formal” clothing dress codes are designed to foster class divide.

    Damn. When I was in high school, we had a Sadie Hawkins dance (where the roles are reversed: girls ask boys, they pay for the tickets, etc) each year, along with homecoming and prom for the seniors. My senior year, a classmate told me that she had always wanted to go to said dance with a guy who would dress as a girl, so I immediately offered to do it because I thought it’d be fun.

    Aside from a couple chaperones and the principal avoiding eye contact with me at all costs, no one said anything bad. The other guys thought it was either whatever or funny, and the girls didn’t give a shit.

    This should never be an issue. My dad’s partner went to my cousin’s wedding wearing a suit, she hates dresses so went in a suit and she’s completely cis and straight.

    Land of the free rules based on intolerance and bigotry. Still better than Iran, but as it’s going, that’s not a sure thing to last.
