Forced is a strong word.
You don’t feel obliged to comply with particular female stereotypes? Dressing in a particular way?
Not really! I could wear blue jeans and a mens t-shirt and not have to worry about negative reactions. Women’s suits are really common, especially in professional settings. There’s not much I’d be afraid to wear in public. Worst case scenario people would think I’m depressed or sick, I guess.
Yeh. But if you wore budgie smugglers at the beach, you may catch some glimpses. Or be arrested.
Stand by - running to look up budgie smugglers...
Here’s our ex prime minister, smuggling a budgie.
Ok. Thank you. Not a look that works for everyone. Apparently there's an Australian swimwear company with that name. Funny how their womens suits are pretty modest and the men's suits just kind of put it all out there.
I’ve seen some pretty immodest women’s swimwear haha.
Yeah. I'm pretty agreeable to people wearing what they want, but i was a little surprised by mid-day streetwear in Miami.
Too many budgies, not enough smugglers. Bound to get caught.
😅😅
