Hi, late to the party (been away for a lovely weekend), but wanted to apologise to Lass if you thought I was challenging your clothing decisions in a negative way, or being patronising, as I seem to have been scooped up in other's comments too.
Lass it was your comment, after the list of clothing, that most interested me:
I don't own any of those. Those are gender neutral clothes. I don't wear anything which is gender neutral which made me curious. As it seemed to imply that you actively steered away from wearing gender neutral clothes for a specific reason. As females, we're lucky enough to include what may be seen as 'gender neutral' (eg, trousers, gym leggings etc, without anyone judging us like men may be judged wearing sterotypical women's clothes).
I wasn't sure how you'd 'escape' clothing that is 'gender neutral' in your everyday life. But you've explained very well how that is. Of course you can walk in skirts, exercise in skirts, and I wasn't trying to deny that you could. Was really, truly, just genuinely interested in your point of view.
I definitely wasn't questioning your general choice of clothes for comfort and joy - just in the context of that statement in particular.
I do think females are much luckier than males in the spectrum of clothes we can wear without being judged (but seeing Hannah Gadsby's powerful documentary, not that big of a spectrum, really, depending on your outward appearance
)
