It does nossy Send a noteboard - 13/03/2010 07:35:39 PM
Cross-dressing makes many people uncomfortable and plenty of people don't think it should be done in public and especially not at a school sanctioned event. Obviously you are not one of them, but that doesn't make your perspective the majority's. There's no way to know that the majority of people attending wouldn't care unless you took a poll.

But is it really cross-dressing? It's an unfortunate issue for a male who might want to wear a skirt (because it isn't balanced), but girls wear pants all the time. It's not like she's asking to wear something indecent.

Oh, it is definitely self-defense. Dannymac - 12/03/2010 05:52:50 AM 815 Views
That analogy is not apt. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 06:10:27 AM 877 Views

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 817 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 710 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 684 Views
Yup. Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 04:02:26 PM 787 Views

Kind of a different can of worms then Isaac - 12/03/2010 03:20:35 AM 778 Views
What?! Now that is a can of worms I could see getting in a fight over. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 01:24:47 AM 761 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 750 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 676 Views

No no, I know how you feel. I'm just disinclined to have sympathy for the school. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 11:28:35 PM 658 Views
Alternatively, I have little sympathy for the school, I just don't have much for her either Isaac - 12/03/2010 11:56:08 PM 792 Views
