    Wow, her dad died last month and they took away her prom just to be assholes. She’s going to be home schooled next year so that was her only chance to go.

    Even cis people aren’t allowed to go against Big Gender, lol. Conservatives are wild.

    Official statement on the matter reads:

    All students are treated equally at MCA…

    Except this case proves that to be a lie. I’m sure there were boys in suits there. Unless boys are also required to wear dresses? If that’s not the case, then this is a clear case of one student being treated differently from others.

    Clothes are just clothes - people should be able to dress however the fuck they want.

    Separately, Florida should stop being a bunch of transphobic assholes.

      Yup. Trans or not a girl should be allowed to wear a suit or a dress. So should a boy. As long as it qualifies as “formal” for either group it ought to qualify for the other.

        I would go even harder and say the formal/semi-formal/business/casual folkways are outdated and I wish those expectations or requirements didn’t exist. My work dress policy for the office doesn’t allow sweatpants or yoga pants, but jeans and khakis are fine if you aren’t “client-facing.” Fine, but in jeans or khakis I will be adjusting far more often and imo that’s less professional than just wearing more comfortable clothes.
