This is what gender non-conforming can look like. This is extending the boundaries of what it means to be male.

Why shouldn't a boy wear a dress if it makes him happy?

Please remain yourself, Korben: a gay bloke.

I saw this, thought he looked fucking amazing.

Exactly that. He looks amazing, greatest respect to his family and him for choosing such an amazing outfit. For that is all it is, an outfit that he likes and that suits him.

Outfit should be just that, for anyone that likes them.

TerffLonDon · 05/07/2022 20:24

That link says no go now, for some reason. But yes, I know who you mean cos I saw him on Twitter. Yes, he looks amazing. Yes, he’s a he. Yes, he’s gender nc. If that’s who he believes he is, let’s hope he can stay that way and not be bullied in to some other path. All power to him.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 05/07/2022 20:24

Thank you icake technology and me don’t get on

he does look awesome 😀

Clymene · 05/07/2022 20:28

He looks great. But there are thousands of girls who have dressed up for their proms and look fabulous. And no one cares.

This boy also has a drag persona and this is going to be an amazing fillip to his career.

While I'm sure he's a lovely young man, I don't know what it's got to do with feminism.

Sorry to piss on everyone's chips.

I find it really sad that ‘boy wears dress’ is considered to be news. I was a teenager in the 80s - the time when Boy George, Marilyn, Annie Lennox etc all challenged the stereotypes. The fact that a number of people (or ‘folx’ as they’d probably call themselves) now think that the clothes you wear determine whether you’re a man or a woman shows that we’ve gone backwards. Wear what you like, kid, you look
great. Just remember you’re a fella…

BettyFilous · 05/07/2022 20:30

Fantastic outfit, fantastic lad. Isn’t it fantastic he’s so comfortable in his own skin? Lovely article.

Yes - female family member went to her prom in a simply stunning 3-piece suit - jacket, waistcoat, trousers in traditional male style. No one will pick this up and propagate it around social media.

'Girl has short hair' is headline news at DD's school. It's so depressing.

On the surface it has nothing to do with feminism. But it does have to do with discussions on sex and gender. The genderists claim that if a boy likes wearing stereotypically feminine clothes , eg a dress, then he is actually a girl.

Agree with Clymene

its got fuck all to do with feminism

theres a few threads like that on here today

GrabbyGabby · 05/07/2022 20:40

I hark back to my teens, the boys (straight and gay) wore more make up than i did. I want that back. More fun less identity obsessing

Suddha · 05/07/2022 20:40

Good for him. People can be gender non conforming without having to be trans.

I don’t agree with a child in their early teens being allowed to perform as a drag queen though. It’s not appropriate for children to be adult entertainers.

We're in the sex and gender topic. I think it's important to make it clear gender critical people are delighted to see both male and female people challenging gender stereotypes. Women won the right to wear trousers and other 'male' attire a long time ago. Hardly any UK men have pushed back in the same way to wear dresses/skirts other than kilts or other ethnic dress. We all know why. Men and boys showing an interest in typically feminine things are considered to be effeminate and not truly male, which is unacceptable.

Good luck to this lad.

JellySaurus · 05/07/2022 20:46

The more men that realise they can wear what the fuck they like and still be men, means there are less that want to encroach on our spaces.

And, even more importantly, the more kids who realise they can wear what the fuck they like and still be the sex they are, means there are less that will get sucked into the ideology and end up harming their bodies and their mental and emotional health.

He's a boy trying to start up a career as a drag artist. Miss Frou Frou.

I don't like drag. I especially don't like children doing drag.

Here he is pulling fake money out of his dress.

This isn't about boys being able to dress however they want. This is about drag.

Luxa · 05/07/2022 20:48

Yes. That was about equality, saying 'whether you're female or male, you get to decide what you wear and what you do, whether it happens to fit a stereotype or not.'

The current situation is the opposite, as though stereotypes, and whether you fit them, tell you who you are. You have short hair? In the 80s you were perhaps a typical teenage girl with a Lady Di haircut. But today, it must of course mean you're male, a trans man or a lesbian. Otherwise you would have long hair, QED. It's incredibly backward looking and yes, like the 70s and 80s never happened.

Yep. I read he does drag and my heart sank.

There was one girl in a stunning three piece suit at my local secondary prom. She looked absolutely tip-top. No newspaper headlines, mind you.
