Dressing up the other way

A proper blog post of sorts! I met someone today who I've known slightly for a year or two, who was born female and has recently started experimentally expressing as male, and is strident about how artificial gender identity is. Which is true, of course, but one argument is that men only wear trousers because skirts are gendered female. I don't know about that - in Scotland men can wear kilts and it's pretty much ceremonial, just for weddings and graduations and that kind of thing. Why? Well, for one thing it's awful windy. Trousers are pretty much unisex now, because they're more practical than skirts, let alone skirts and hosiery. And that's before you get on to crazily (and delightfully) impractical stuff like high heels and makeup.

This person also wears a top hat. Which is pretty stylin'.
