What about if ordinary me in these crazy anti drag states started wearing kilts?

[Tumbulu]

The right wingers love kilts, they do not see them as skirts. Especially if they are authentic.

If there was a critical mass of kilt wearers (or even just more than one guy wearing a kilt), could there be some kind of chord struck? Some kind of truce?

What about if fashion houses started offering the long caftan things for men that are worn all over the Middle East. And in parts of South Asia? How about what Priests wear at the altar?

What about if ordinary not crazy nut job men just started wearing what these nuts might call dresses? Would it be like everyone in Denmark wearing a Star of David?

Just some thoughts.

The same media that gets us to buy buy buy anything even when we don’t have money is working overtime to divide us.

1. What about these guys wearing cassocks, albs, Geneva gowns etc, esp. on Sun around kids?

Those look like skirts or dresses no matter what one calls them.

[Tumbulu]

3. Yes, they all look like caftans to me

And so, what is the jaw all about? I don’t get it.

Is it the make up?

What about if everyone started wearing Japanese kabuki style face paint then?

2. Conservative Christians in kilts out in public for the children to see.

4. Except these are not ordinary men, they are crazed

Buffoons, on a rampage.

Plus, you need to have posted a warning- wow ugly alert!!!!!!!!

5. I'd thought about the kilt strategy...

6. Know a number of bagpipers. They may wear "skirts," but they're fairly tough guys and likely would

take exception to a bunch of political loonies co-opting their native garb. Just the approaching pipes of the Scots' Black Watch regiment in WWII sent Nazis running for cover.

10. "Political loonies"??

This is a good idea. "They" can't control everybody. They are managing to direct their attention to Congressional dress codes and drag queens; perhaps they are the political loonies you mentioned. I find it easy to conform to required dress codes for work, but on my own time, I'll dress however I want. Sometimes, nothing at all.

It is this type of social protest that gets attention. Like Dads wearing tutus to help their daughters, we could all wear kilts, caftans, muu-muus, robes...could make it an unofficial "wear a dress day"...I am uncomfortable in a dress, but I could still manage it.

Get your Buds to show us how it's done. A little education doesn't hurt a thing.

7. No State is banning "drag".....

They're banning artistic performance WHILE wearing drag (with children present)

Unless you're going to start doing Highland Reels, you're not challenging the laws.

8. I realize that, however to make it into a joke on them

why not punk them with all sorts of regular men wearing for everyday attire things that might be construed by someone somewhere as feminine.

Women wear male style work clothes quite normally now. Remember when pant suits were a big big deal? And when it was even illegal for women to wear pants?

Anyway, I am trying to make the point that we the people have a way to mock these guys. I wonder if these ideas will sprout in their hearts.

9. Nothing would happen, because these laws are about hurting trans people.

Also:

What about if ordinary not crazy nut job men just started wearing what these nuts might call dresses?

The focus on "ordinary not crazy nut job men" is an odd one to me. Why include it? "Ordinary" men as opposed to...?

11. Oh I was in an amplified adjective sort of mood

Do you ever fall into moods such as this?

Maybe you are better at restraining the urge to waste a bunch of time typing redundant letters. Good work then!

12. You could put on some makeup as well....

Somebody had to do it

[Tumbulu]

14. Good idea!

[treestar]

13. kilts would not be drag, as kilts are menswear

[Tumbulu]

15. Yes, I know, that is the point -

along with traditional menswear that looks like what priests wear, worn all over the Middle East.

Anything will do.
