Then we have my encounter from yesterday, judged and sentenced bypassing any evidence.
I have had a reply from Mark Smith too, he indicates the letter will be published anyway.
Just don't expect logic from other people and you won't be disappointed.

An interesting piece with a different slant. The guy felt like all eyes were on him and wasn’t a fun experience:

That guy chose his skirt unwisely and popped outside before learning how to actually wear a skirt. That produces a whole lot of stress and angst.

Maybe it was his choice of outfit, it certainly would be attracting attention:
I pick up a paisley midi, in white and coral. Sweet, sort of 90s and fun. I buy it, but not everyone is sold. “Maybe we do this,” my friend says at home, whipping out some pins, and taking it up 25cm. She ties my T-shirt into a midriff-baring crop top. “Now that’s a look.”

He was getting attention he didn’t feel comfortable with in the black one before he changed into what’s sounds like fancy dress!! I thought the first look was pretty conservative and wouldn’t attract the attention it did.
