I was talking specifically about those who used clothing with that intent, not people who just go with what's fashionable and don't care much to or forth.

I guess then that is what they like?

It does? I think enforcing gender roles is a generally a silly pursuit, since I believe more in nature than nurture (though as I've said it isn't always even the goal), and because I think that it can easily lead to a majority ("straight" gendered) suppressing a minority. When it comes to clothing, it's more of an interesting socio-historical thing to me, since I don't think it matters much one way or the other.
> I come from a family with adopted siblings. My siblings are very similar to their biological parents, who were unknown to them (and all of us) until they were 20+. Let me put it another way... They don't just share similar genes in their "appearance". From where I sit, nurture plays very little in shaping a person in a benevolent environment. I have decades of case study around me to support that view.
Ok. Hmm. Is this the part where I'm supposed to violently disagree with you?

But I think that it's a bad thing? Ok.
