The school I was in only required a plain shirt with the school's logo on it. And girls weren't allowed to wear skirts (that aren't down to your feet), shorts, and shirts that expose your belly.

She used to push the dress code to the limits. Other girls that were more popular would routinely wear skirts under the limit (skirts had to fall past your fingers when held at your side), but my sister would wear slightly more provocative skirts (frills and lace on the bottom), but they fell within the limits imposed. Pissed off the administration so bad, especially since she knew it and shoved it in their faces.
we don't have uniforms and our dress code is extremely lenient.
Fuck food poisoning...
Public schools can have uniforms. My school has been tossing around the idea of having them.
I don't mind my uniform, except for the girls, most of them anyway, have skirts shorter then their jackets, I mean like come on. Its not appealing in any shape or form.
I think every school in the UK has uniforms. Funny as fuck watching people think they are badass for not wearing a tie when they should.

Don't have a dress code over here, means I can wear alot of stripe-y colorful stuff. And baggy jeans :v:
I dressed in my boyfriends clothes, this is crossdressing right?
[QUOTE=Inufin;38691480]I dressed in my boyfriends clothes, this is crossdressing right?[/QUOTE] I think so, but this whole transgender kind of screws up general perception of things like that.
I have had a slightly rough day, well had a migraine, but a friend got on Skype with me and sang some songs she was going to do at the pub later in the evening, it cheered me up a bit :3 Well, doctors tomorrow to get my anti depressants on repeat prescription and then doctors on Friday to see about getting started on the long road though the NHS ( its going to be hard on Friday and after due to me working at the doctors im seeing)
I have yet to wear clothes designed for women.

Hello, I'm working on a game with a guy who is trans and I'm kind of wondering how much I can ask about that stuff without going off-limits. Basically I'd like to ask him if he's officially changed his name yet or if he's even referred to as a guy IRL, because I googled his name and stuff (Not because he's trans, but because he's a really good artist and I wanted to see more of his work) and I found that he's still referred to by his girl name and "she" on the website for his school newspaper that he does art for. Would asking this be going too far? I've worked with him pretty closely almost every day for about 4-5 months through Skype and it hasn't come up more than him saying "I'm trans" sometimes if it's needed. I really don't want to hurt his feelings
He probably doesn't want to talk about it if he is so reclusive about the whole thing. You may be one of the only people that knows and respects his identity, and if you ask such invasive questions, he could very well have a negative reaction.

And there's like 40 other people in the Skype chats we hang out in who know about him being trans too so I'm far from the only one who knows about it. Of course I wouldn't just ask him this stuff right away, I'd ask him if he's ok with questions about his transness first
Well, my issue with it is, why does it matter? Does it make any difference?
[QUOTE=Riodoku;38694218]Well, my issue with it is, why does it matter? Does it make any difference?[/QUOTE] Well it doesn't really matter much at all, I'm mostly just curious because he's my friend. And we're having a month-long team meetup next year (He's in the USA, I'm in Sweden and there's one more guy who's in the UK) which will require lots of travel so I don't know if not knowing his legal name will cause any problems with that kind of stuff If it's really a big problem asking this kind of stuff I guess I'll just hold it off until it's necessary (if ever). As I said I really don't want to hurt his feelings. It's just something I think about some times, I hope that doesn't make me a bad person

People differ, and while some take easly offense or get hurt, others do not care at all or would gladly inform someone who is asking in a serious and/or supportive manner. People differ, I for example prefer people to call me whatever they are comfortable with since I'd rather see a natural behavior from others, knowing that it can be hard to adjust the mindset.
[QUOTE=Riodoku;38694218]Well, my issue with it is, why does it matter?

Wanting to know what someone wishes to be referred to as is only natural.
I don't understand why you're calling your Trans friend by male pronouns unless they're FTM? If they have a female name and go by she in some report and are MTF wouldn't it be more respectful to call them by female pronouns?
if you read more carefully I think they're FTM "and I found that he's still referred to by his girl name and "she" on the website for his school newspaper that he does art for."
He's female to male, of course I wouldn't call him by the wrong pronouns. He's my friend.
Alright, sorry then. I misread :P I'd go with what jawyen said honestly.

Wanting to know what someone wishes to be referred to as is only natural.[/QUOTE] Uh, it's pretty obvious that he knows what his friend wishes to be reffered to as. What he's wanting to ask isn't relevant to what his friend is, because he already knows. I'm saying that the information is, honestly, none of his business because it changes nothing. Also, FtM guys exist. I wish people wouldn't automatically assume that trans=MtF.
Yeah, there is Lonely Time Lord. He has to come and show that he looks different now.
[QUOTE=Riodoku;38695964]Also, FtM guys exist. I wish people wouldn't automatically assume that trans=MtF.[/QUOTE] Only one person did that and it was a simple mistake.
FtM guys tend to be ignored in the trans community. I'm not just talking about the one instance here.
