I could make a longer thread of my own on this, been thinking how everything is backwards from what I was brought up with.

In the old school feminism of the 1970s, I thought the whole point was that it didn't matter whether you were male and female, you were a person first, an individual, not a member of some assigned group.

Now all of a sudden the thing that matters most is whether you are or aren't male or female?

Also I have been aware for some time, that women have had more freedom to dress the way they want to. A hundred or so years ago wearing bifurcated garments wasn't an everyday option for most women in the Western world. Now a woman can dress like a man and really, no one thinks anything of it, either it's not even noticed or maybe it's amusing.

So is a lot of this about clothing, and personal expression through dress? If a guy wants to wear a skirt or dress, does that mean he should be treated as a woman? Why? A woman wearing pants is still a woman. It doesn't change her to wear the clothing that used to be considered men's clothing.

It's just so bizarre that this stuff is such a big deal. I thought we went through a whole sexual revolution to make it NO BIG DEAL one way or the other. I thought people were people first, before it mattered about their sex.

Thanks you so much for writing this. I have been trying to say the same thing but have not been able to put it in words.
I tried hard to just let my kids be kids. Daughter ran with her big brothers...total tomboy who loved dresses once in a while. We were all trying to not stereotype according to a specific way of dressing, etc. Yet now, it seems like it has gone backwards in a totally exaggerated way and it is so confusing....I feel like the male female stereotypes are more engrained than it ever was....a lot more. Everybody is trying to dress like the opposite sex and that is supposed to mean something. Caitlyn Jenner wear fancy dresses all the time...normal everyday women usually don't. I just don't get what happened.
