Nerdy Apple Bottom

So what?
It looks like to me this kid and ‘Boo’ have choices and are not being ‘engineered’ by the machine.

I was raised by the ‘ machine’s ‘ standards, am fully male with the exception that I feel men should be able to wear what ever they want.

I was bullied in school for being better prepared than the rest of the kids simply for entering first grade (vintage 1970) knowing how to read. My folks both had newspaper backgrounds and taught me to read from the newspaper.
God forbid I had a vocabulary! I remember asking a class mate if he was ready for the ‘ exam ‘ and he looked at me and said “What?”
Sadly I hate to explain to him that exam was another word for test.
From then on clear through junior high school I was a target.
The only reason that it didn’t continue through high school was that I changed schools.

Sorry, I digress. My point here I guess is that we all are programmed by the machine as to what is right, wrong, normal or abnormal.

If it weren’t for ‘societal norms ‘ I would be able to wear anything I want
( skirts, tights, heels) without fear of getting pounded into mush.

My questions are, why should wearing any of these things define me as anything other than a unique individual?
How would clothes make me gay?

I decided I liked women’s clothes at a fairly young age, 13 when I dressed up as a girl for Halloween.
I finally started wearing whatever I wanted(with limitation as to where and when) after I met my wife. We agreed to complete honesty and acceptance of each other before we got married. When my wife first saw me in a skirt, tights and heels she told me I have the legs for it, which is more than a lot of women I have seen can say. Does this make me gay? No.
I say it makes me a man that wants more choices than the standard male apparel offerings allow for.

For all you guys out there who think it makes me gay…..
You might not want to:
ride motorcycles, use a welder or acetylene torch, barbecue, maintain your own car, shoot guns, drink beer, have sex with your wife, or anything else deemed to be masculine.
Since I do all of these things, I guess that if you do them you’d be considered gay.

Societal norms are crap as far as I’m concerned.

Hooray for being programmed by the ‘ machine ‘

It’s hard to believe people actually think that painting toenails pink somehow means the boy is transgender or has any reflection on his sexuality-or that doing so will somehow CHANGE him! Talk about adults imposing their own political agendas and ridiculous phobias on a completely innocent situation. It’s absolutely infuriating and frustrating.
