        The statement was “look at how funny it is to wear clothes of the wrong gender. Isn’t it hilarious that a woman could be wearing pants?! Hahahaha”

        Yeah. No thanks

            So you’re saying in the 90s, the “let’s all crossdress at school” was all about normalizing clothing regardless of gender, being inclusive of people’s gender and clothing choices, and and destigmatizing gender non confirming people? It wasn’t because the idea of a boy in a skirt was a concept that should me mocked and thought of as a joke?

              It was simply a fun tradition. Some people were assholes about it that way, sure, and some people were excited they could finally girlmode or boymode in public for a day, but for most of us, we were just excited for drag day or whatever we called it back then because it was a fun communal activity. Festival atmosphere. We’d plan group outfits with our besties and whatnot. It was great.
