A school sent a boy to a psychologist for wearing a skirt so male teachers wore them in solidarity

[DonViejo]

Teachers all over the country are stepping up to teach a lesson in equality.

By Alex Bollinger Monday, June 7, 2021

Male teachers wore skirts to work last month in solidarity with a student who was pulled out of school and sent to a psychologist for wearing a skirt.

Fifteen-year-old Mikel Gómez said in a video that went viral this past October that he was taken to a psychologist by school officials when he decided to wear a skirt to his school in Euskadi, Spain. He said he wore the skirt to express solidarity with women’s liberation.

“I knew people would look at me badly,” he said in the video that got viewed over two million times on TikTok. But he didn’t expect to get pulled out of math class and taken to a psychologist who grilled him on whether he is trans and identifies as a woman.

When he said he’s not trans, the psychologist asked him to wear pants instead and Gomez said that his parents later punished him for wearing a skirt.

9. The Roman legions might have something to say, too. n/t

[Aristus]

15. Technically what the legions wore were not skirts; just long, long shirts.

But they did dislike trousers, considering them feminine, believe it or not. They even called trousers feminalia.

Thank you, dear teachers!!!

8. The style has been making inroads the past few years

Dan Levy (and his character David Rose on Schitt's Creek) has been wearing skirts for years. Skirt? Kilt? Whatever that style is. Sometimes with pants underneath, sometimes not. He was wearing one when he won the Emmy last year.

13. I recently saw a couple in my grocery store. He was wearing a skirt.

It was a bit different to see a young guy with a beard wearing a skirt while his female friend was wearing pants!

10. lol... love it

11. Don't cross the Basques

Euzkadi is the Basque name for their country.

12. People should wear whatever they want, if anything. n/t

[mwooldri]

14. Agreed.

I remember a story a while back about men who were told they couldn't wear shorts at work, so they decided to wear a skirt instead. Did not violate the dress code. Caused more stir than if the employers allowed the men to wear suitable shorts.

20. Airflow is a good idea for anyone.

It's just a fad that created "cross-dressing".

In my view it's all just dressing.

[Amaryllis]

26. An old boyfriend of mine used to say"If God had wanted us to go around naked, we would have been

born that way."

[Harker]

27. That's a good one.

16. good on them. fave line from star gate atlantis , u wearing the skirt.

17. I often wear a dhoti; man's skirt from India

Well, perhaps a dhoti worn pancha-kacham style is better described as a 3/4 kulot.
At times in Uruguay, people think I am wearing gaucho pantalones.

Never have I been hassled, but airport security tends to take a second look.
On the streets, most everyone does look once, while those who think they know call out "Hare Krishna".

Being stared at and wearing a skirt in winter-cold taught me a little of what women have known and endured.

[a kennedy]

18. Now that is just awesome.......👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Brovo teachers.

[Jetheels]

21. Bravo teachers and student. This is heart warming story.

And reminded me when I was in elementary school the girls were forbidden to wear pants.
At some point the administration allowed girls to wear pants in winter, but only underneath the skirt.

22. And His Parents Punished Him?

...and Gomez said that his parents later punished him for wearing a skirt.

He really did a noble thing and got punished.
Shame on those parents.

[Raine]

24. His parents should've been proud that they had a son

with courage to do what he wanted and not follow the crowd, sad that they don't appreciate him having a mind of his own.

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Right Where I Was Going

I hope they've rescinded & apologized.

[demigoddess]

23. Good on the teachers for supporting a student!!

for the PTB, you never heard of a kilt????

[al bupp]

28. Right on!

I recently lost enough weight to fit into the kilt I wore at my wedding. I say we need more men wearing skirts, and when people ask "so, what's worn under the kilt?" We can reply, "nothing, it's all in perfect working order"!
