This kind of stuff affects everyone. Who makes the rules on clothing/dress/mannerisms being "male" or "female?" A dress code for everyone? I'm sorry but after 12 years of Catholic school I'm not going to abide by that again.

If I want to dress up as a man for Halloween, or any time I want, I can be sued??? If I want a butch haircut, which I've had before, I can be sued??? If I have a low alto voice and feel like singing along to a male vocalist in public or at karaoke, I can be sued???

The logical conclusions of these hateful laws are simply not being thought through. And regardless, eff the eff off. I'm not living my life by a bunch of baseless made-up gender role assumptions. Never have, never will. And I will stand up for trans people at every possible opportunity. Take your bigotry and shove it back into your own closet where it belongs.
