Thank you for that clarification. It does make sense read that way. Not particularly well written, but...ok.

Until you remeber that the lesbian is a gay student too. ;-)

There's only one Drag Queen in the story though. The lesbian is a Drag King.
I wonder if she was packing?

I noticed that, which is why I added the "in the headline" clause.

Sure but only for stories worth pursuing. I don't have time to cross check every news item, every day. This item peaked your interest, but it's unfair to assume everyone is going to research it.
All I'm asking is to reference what you're commenting on if it hasn't been presented already.

Personally I think a guy wearing a dress is silly, it just ruffles my kilt.

It doesn't explicitly say it, it just gets mealy-mouthed about having "worn female garb all year".

Formal clothes are much more tightly and explicitly gendered than casual wear. You can tell whether trousers--bluejeans, for example--are tailored for men or women, but they're still pants.

But when you dress for the prom, the gender wiggle room just about disappears.

As did the bigoted administration's ability to think for themselves.

Had he worn a (real) kilt and associated items, would he have been banned?

I doubt it very much. Unless by "associated items" you mean something other than sporran or pipes.

A sgian dubh would no doubt be a violation of the "zero-tolerance for weapons" policy.

Or the 2 Dirks and 2 pistols in the belt as required for formal attire.
