This week is ‘Spirit Week’ in my daughter’s school. Today’s is Gender Bender~ Girls dressed like boys and boys dress like girls. She did not do it… She dressed in her regular daily attire. I asked her why she wasn’t taking part. She said that clothes doesn’t have a gender. Anybody could wear anything any day and she doesn’t see a big deal in that. Whatever suits your fancy~ Whatever makes you happy.
I smiled then I said, “You have a point. When men dress in woman’s attire they call it cross-dressing~ women have been wearing man’s attire since Elizabeth Smith Miller, the first woman to wear a pants. Today nobody says women are cross-dressing, so you are right. Clothes doesn’t have a gender.
