**Cross-dressing student allowed to attend Dallas school**
My blog is starting to become my most hated thing on Earth…the one-topic blog which is quite boring to the general public and besides, no one really cares about my project team this semester so just quit with the incessant school talk, already. Whoops…ran away with myself a bit.
Anyhoo…I remember back in high school, the guys in our class protested the fact they weren’t allowed to wear shorts (but the girls were allowed to wear mini-skirts…neener neener) by showing up in mini-skirts one day at school. It was great…totally disruptive. Becky, our ASB President, and I sat in the principal’s office pitching our case on behalf of everyone’s legs, which were screaming to be released from the shackles of long pants in 95-degree weather. I think the local news station showed up, too.
However, the guys were back to jeans and t-shirts the next day. I guess I don’t have an issue with what this young man is doing so much as what he’s wearing. Capri pants really aren’t flattering on a fuller figure (I speak from tragic experience), and really, gold high-heeled pumps are never a good idea unless you’re at a Mardi Gras party.
Thoughts? Did you push the envelope with your clothing choices at school? Did someone ever tell you your Pat Benatar haircut made you look like a boy and that was just unacceptable?

I didn’t b/c my mom, quite frankly, wouldn’t buy me slut-wear and would never have allowed me to step outside that way. But, my school had a fairly lax policy b/c girls showed up in midrift shirts with cleavage baring (or at least what they had), miniskirts, daisy duke shorts, etc. I also realized early on that my body just wasn’t made for wearing that type of stuff, though even if I were thin, I think I’m far too modest to wear it anyway.
