At some point, women started wearing trousers. Today this is very common and no one would link that to their sexuality or gender alignment
My point is that maybe we are at that point now, just for men to wear whatever they feel is cool
Exactly what I was thinking. Never in my life have I seen my mother wear a skirt. She wears pants because she likes them and that's perfectly valid. Style is a personal choice and I don't understand why people think it's related to sexuality or gender identity. Thank you.
Everyone wears "what they feel is cool", wearing skirts and crop tops shows people you think that's cool, and that informs people of who you are as a person to a certain degree (the kind of man who likes wearing skirts and crop tops).
Exactly. You make it sound like that is somehow related to their sexuality or gender orientation, when they could as well just be the kind who likes wearing uncommon clothes or be a trendsetter.
Sure...
