You think this is normal behavior?
I noticed you couldn't differentiate b/w a goof off game, meant not to be taken seriously, and someone who dresses that way intentionally.
How did we get to this again? You can't debate the actual issue here, so you try to compare it to segregation?:rofl
I don't think telling a girl to dress approriately is against the law. I mean, if you have to tell some girl to leave b/c she is wearing boy clothes for the sake of drawing attention to yourself at a public function then the situation isn't going to end pretty for the girl. Common decency still has its place in a civilized society.
You can't expect people to accept freaks walking around in all aspects of life.
I bet she listens to that evil music, rock n' roll.
I mean, can you IMAGINE a woman in a tux? I mean, what if there were actually companies that specialized in tuxedos for women? How ****ing insane would that be? Can you imagine??
No a girl in a tux does not look that bad. However the discussion to me would involve everyone dressing in drag.
Not just a girl and a tux by the boy and a dress.
If it was to a private party that's fine. But not a public prom
Do you have a never ending supply of drag fetish imagery or something?
It's a great example of the thread

I think it speaks more to your interests since it has zero to do with this thread. :shrug:
I think you're being intellectually dishonest with yourself this thread is about cross-dressing and going to the prom.
The students do not have a right to not be uncomfortable, if they can't handle the presence of a cross-dresser then they are the ones that maybe shouldn't be there. Maybe their parents can organize a prom just for them, then they wouldn't have to invite the cross-dresser.
Well it is kind of what the school administration was going for; Shaming her into giving up her dignity as a human being by making her the object of her peers' resentments. That's why they just cancelled the prom altogether. It wasn't about distractions, etc...it was about adults letting their need to win a pissing contest eclipse their good sense.
No we don't. We need to teach children that America is where the freedom of the individual comes first, and to stand up to authority when it interferes with that. Don't you agree?
I dont know. Maybe it just wasnt worth the hassle.
This was a calculation.
I doubt they are that calculating and smart. Too lazy to deal with it seems to be a better answer.
You don't think there was a certain smug satisfaction in knowing that the whole school could now blame her for there being no prom?
And also the freedom to say no when someone tries to force their views upon you. It should not be a one way street.
More like a relief its over and they can focus on more important issues like education. They should anyway.
It was a party....
What baffles me is why she would even ask or seek their permission. Just show up and go for it.

What was the girl forcing on others?
The school board to give permission,acknowledge, or deny her lifestyle.
She probably would have just had a great time showing up dancing and taking pictures. By rubbing it in their faces they were forced to make a move good, bad, ugly, or just give up and go home as was the case.
I still think their choice of action was motivated by the fact that they knew it was a pissing contest they couldn't win and so they childishly did as much damage to everyone as possible as a means to "get back" at her.
Could be. To me the simplest answer seems best without knowing anyone personally. I vote too lazy to deal with it and too scared to make a public stand one way or the other. Recall the public crucifixion of a beauty contestant when she "spoke her mind" about a loaded question. Talk to her about freedom of speech and the true cost.
That's kinda what I thought. At that stage of life for me, I already understood how it was far better to beg forgiveness than to ask persmission.
