Sorry but some things just aren't appropriate for certain environments.

Ahh, you mean it's more appropriate to oppress people than to tell ignorant people to take their ignorance and shove it?

<snipped> Take this example. It's not appropriate for a girl going to school to be dressing like she's from a titty bar. Likewise, it's not appropriate for a salesman in a tech corporation to be meeting customers in drag.

And those are your opinions.

Opinions which are consistent with the majority. Some things are just not appropriate for certain environments no matter how much you want to argue against it.

Like I said. It's YOUR opinion. IF you get offended by it, that's YOUR problem.

Like I said. You're wrong. You are the extreme minority. Just because you think you're a special butterfly that needs to express themselves wherever they want to, it's not appropriate.

I don't need to express myself. I just don't give a **** if someone else wants to. It's none of my business. and it's also none of yours.

Xilo, I think the main problem with your opposition to this is that no one is being harmed by a man wearing a skirt, are they? A man wearing what is deemed by many to be "women's clothes" harms no one, yet stopping him from wearing those clothes negatively effects his life because he is banned from expressing himself (even though him expressing himself causes no harm to anyone). So why be against it?

Why would you wear clothing designed for women if not for 1) attention 2) they want to be a woman?

Comfort maybe?

The only people that ever get offended by it are narrow minded hypocrites. People seem to have some problem realising that society is there for everyone, not just them. Transgender people and cross dressers are largely accepted and ignored in the UK, sadly in a lot of other parts of the world (particularly those still dominated by religion) those people are still belittled and treated like crap. It's about time people grew up and joined the 21st century, being a bigot is no longer cool or cute.

I love when people like Xilo says the Majority agrees with him..

The Majority doesn't care. Whenever you see a poll about what people think, the majority of people don't take it.. The simple fact is the majority of people don't care about a lot of things, one way or the other.. It doesn't affect their lives in any meaningful way, so why should they.. A guy wearing a skirt, or a women in a Tie has no effect on me.. It doesn't keep me from going on about my life just the same as I did before they were.

Anyone saying that their lives will be affected by this is just speaking bull****. It's the same BS that was said about Gays being open, Women voting, Minorities having rights, etc.. Small views by small minded individuals who have such a narrow mind they can't cope with anything that is beyond their small viewpoints.. But thankfully after a generation, they turn into a dying breed that people generally only reference for comedy value..

Nobody really cares what you do outside of whatever you do. I never said all environments. If you want to look like a retard outside of whatever, than by all means look like a retard.

I specifically said certain environments which is what the majority will agree with.

Well Oxford's legislators changed their rules so evidently they don't agree with you.

Okay? The decision was made by a few people representing a private university in a small country. Your point being?
