'Cross-Dressing' Out, Camouflage In

[ze_dscherman]

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Camouflage was in and cross-dressing was out at a rural East Texas school district after a Christian legal group complained a long-standing school tradition of reversing social roles for a day would promote homosexuality.

Students in Spurger, Texas were encouraged by school officials to wear camouflage hunting gear to class on Wednesday after they called off their annual "TWIRP Day" in which boys dressed as girls and vice versa.

But Delana Davies, who has two children in the Spurger school, complained this year that the tradition could promote homosexuality and got the Liberty Legal Institute, a right-wing Christian legal group, to take up the cause.

"It might be fun today to dress up like a little girl -- kids think it's cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it and, like drugs, you do a little here and there (and) eventually it gets you," Davies told reporters.

1. I guess I shouldn't wear women's underwear anymore.

It's going to turn me gay.

4. Transvestites are not any gay-er

Sorry Delane but the incidence of Gay people among the Transvestite community is the same as for society at large. And most Transvestietes know about their trans behavior by age 5.

5. Do the people in Texas know that the rest of the country is NOT having

cross dressing days at school? :wtf:

Don't blame this one on the blue states, Texas, this one is yours. I just think it is wierd.

6. She's right!

It might be fun to dress up in camo gear -- kids think it's cute and things like that. And you start playing around with it, accessorizing, role-playing, and eventually you join the army and kill brown civilians.

8. good call!

It says a lot about the fundies that to them, cross-dressing is so much more evil than violence.

9. the sexism is apparent, too

Notice how there's so much concern about boys dressing as girls, but nothing about girls dressing as boys. In their worldview, femininity is something to be ashamed of, while masculinity should be emulated.

10. Drag is drag

Whether it is "cross dressing" or wearing camos outside of a military unit or a forest. I guess some drag is more accepted than others.

13. Im trying to convince my fam that Im TGd but they always

point to my previous manly history, as proof that Im not. I think I could have fully realized my womanhood a lot earlier if I wasnt so good with a gun, didnt wear camo, and stayed the f*ck outa ROTC. However I am not gay, not bi... just am.

... er, and yes I am serious. Im wearing a thong to work right now!

Yummay!

14. It's good practice...

...because they'll all be dressing like soldiers, for real, in a couple of years. This story speaks volumes about Bush's Murika right now.
