Enforced by a left-wing platform government, there is a new policy of maintaining a 'gender neutral' environment within public educational systems. This meant the change of uniforms to attire to a non-gender specific way of style, so the ever so loved school girl kilt is out!
Also the formation of lines to return back to class during period breaks, was initially organized based upon gender. But is now being grouped from a distinctive 'shape' worn on your uniform. Personally I'd like to be a circle or oval, there's just something about sharp edges that scare me.
One of my fond memories of highschool were definitely trying to see how high we could get away with wearing our kilts before we got in trouble. There's just something about knowing that a peek a boo of your ass out the back of your skirt that gives you just a bit more pep in your step. I mean, we see you looking boys. Nothing makes me grin more then when I can see a big tent in a man's pants
I'm really uncertain as to whether informing a 'non-gender' attire will further implement the constructions of gender stereotype out of simple rebellion and personal taste or if it will in fact help create a more neutral and less 'labeling' way of socializing. Respectfully, I understand that creating a more blended way of behaviour, such as changing the construction of line ups, helps intergrating. However, gender to me is a way of self expression. RuPaul is quoated saying "you're born naked and the rest is drag...this body you have is a vessel", during an interview on the early 90's talk show "Geraldo".
Rather then taking the easy way out by eliminating any distinct forms of gender restraint, I believe we should rather take the bull by the horns, not dumb down the imagination and development of our youth and let gender be as free and limitless as it should be.
