One thing that none us can avoid is change, that will happen regardless. What you should always do is learn, develop and grow, adapt and evolve. I am facing partial retirement this year and unlike Kirbstone relishing it because I will choose exactly how I spend my time, rather than being at the beck...

Hate to be an old cynic, but he'd have won regardless.
He just outclassed the rest by leaps and bounds.
If the competition had been stiffer, the skirt choice may have been a real disadvantage.

A major part of the issue for a lot of MIS is what other people might think. Except, this isn't about a generalised fear, this is about doing something foolhardy in the wrong time and place. Older guy in any part of a girls school uniform, especially a specific tartan, would be unlikely to be left ...

Mouse, you don't have to be Scots to wear any tartan, you just need the money to pay for it.
There is even a koala bear tartan, so go ahead.

Proven scientifically that gender is nuanced, not simply black and white as some people believe. I had a discussion with a female friend on Friday and she asked a pertinent question. Would you have transitioned if the opportunity at an early age, under 15 years? No wish nor aspirations now, but bala...

Jamie and Liu Ban, "Real" men don't do "pretty", everyone knows what happens if they do. Society, as we know it will cease to exist, next stop Mars and Venus or Andromeda for the more adventurous. There is no proven formula for selling anything except supply and demand. Retailers...

I never said you were Big Wave, sorry you took that from what I said. However, the "unisex" part implied anything goes. In the original thread, I cited a local guy wearing what was clearly a Robert Gordon's College uniform skirt. His surname may well have been Gordon and had it been a full...

When I think about tartan school skirts, THIS immediately comes to mind....Japanese schoolgirls! I don't think even I could pull off that look and be taken seriously, nor would I try either! :lol: If the photo was cropped so their heads weren't visible, then they could easily be males - tartan skir...

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/story-of-scots-trans-baronet-ewan-forbes-sempill-to-be-told-in-television-drama-276d6btxj This is a true case. Being able to get a diagnosis of intersex allowed this member of the Scottish aristocracy to inherit the the family title and fortune. The assigned gender...

Just had a quick confab with Prof.Google. Subject "1940s Siren Suit", and an interesting result. No sign of our illustrious leader, but lots of ladies in quite fetching jump suits which would appear perfectly on trend today. Only when I specified men, did Churchill's version appear. So the...

Mr S,
Sorry, you misunderstand me.
I was bullied at school for wearing glasses, not here at the cafe.
I would never say that I enjoyed my schooldays.
A dress code that includes jeans, I really see how that creates more problems than it will ever solve.

I'd say that depends on who is between them BM.

Gods, that woman has one annoying voice, but she makes a point. Historically, in different periods and cultures, skirts and dresses as we know them now were not "woman's wear". Most of the modern problem with men in skirts is that they are. Try the concept of human wear with lots of people...

Mr S, We mentioned eye glasses/spectacles in another thread, I got my share of bullying for that. Had jeans been the accepted wear for school and I wore trousers, that also would have made me a target. The consequences of wearing a skirt, worse, very very bad! Kids, especially boys are pack animals,...

I would never have been allowed to wear jeans at school, but girls had to wear skirts.
We would have been sent home to change and there would have been punishment, corporal for boys and academic for girls.
Steve.
