I don't think likea has ever heard of the nature/ nurture debate, off.
Ergo, it's almost pointless. She genuinely believes men and woman have innate social differences due to genetics, not upbringing. There are as many studies that show parents (and indeed wider society) treat babies sooooooo differently according to their gender, that all of those ridiculous social conditioning differences she's leaning on her for argument are easily explained.
I have no time for such pink brain blue brain aficionados, tbh. And to start on 'innate' (bollocks) differences, on a thread purporting to be about gender neutrality in clothing, is frankly hilarious.
Sexuality is an entirely different kettle of fish, and not particularly relevant, tbh. Unless the desire to wear a frock is less to do with equality of access to garb, and more to do with getting off on transgression. I still don't particularly care what the op wears, but only he knows (or he might not, tbh, some things are completely subconscious and the mind makes up a pretty dran good cover story) whether he wants the freedom to wear a skirt because it's only an item of clothing and shouldn't be gendered, or whether he wears it for other reasons.
The bra question is an excellent one though. I can see that there is more tolerance for MTFs in society than ordinary joes who want to wear a skirt instead of trews to pick up the paper from newsagent, so stuffing a bra and putting on a flippy wig might allow you to pass in that respect, and afford you a degree of social acceptability that a man would otherwise not have. But to put on a bra and stuff it in the privacy of your own home is a different kettle of fish. After all, his wife is fine with whatever he wants to wear, and he's 100% red blooded male, with no intent to transition, so breasts are something of an irrelevance if he just wants to wear a skirt for practical reasons of coolness and swishiness about the frame.
Cd is generally less acceptable than trans, I suppose. I imagine it's all about policing the gender boundary. MTFs have already placed themselves outside of it (and have a degree of legal if not physical protection), whereas cd is possibly a little too close to the bone? I'd say it was masculinity that would have a bigger problem with cd tbh, so still not sure why the op decided to bring his education to MN, and not to construction.com. I assume a degree of fear about the the outcome if he took his particular brand of education to a hotbed of masculinity and asked them why they didn't want to wear a frock? Mn an easier target?
You've got to start somewhere I suppose.
