It doesn’t need to be menswear or womenswear; it’s just clothes
Picked up this t-shirt in the menswear section of a department store yesterday. It wasn’t until later that I noticed the UK sizing was a number. I googled the product code and it turns out that it’s from adidas' womenswear line; which doesn’t take away from the fact that it looks damn good on me.
When ya think about it, gender labels on clothing are kinda stupid. Fabric is fabric. Society imposed cultural norms about what you should and shouldn’t do with fabric based on your gender.
When it comes to people, gender labels are even more stupid. And Donald Trump’s tweets this morning were outrageously stupid. Just because someone doesn’t fit into narrow-minded, archaic definitions of gender, that assumes we all sit on one end of a binary, it doesn’t have any bearing on their capabilities and should never be used as a justification to treat them as inferior members of society.
Trans people are awesome, intelligent and brave, among a million other traits. And most importantly trans people are people.
