Kilts in the office

[Dreadbelly]

Just do it.

If they don't like it, threaten with law suits for cultural and ethnic discrimination. Kilts are covered by the same protective blanket as turbans, various robes, yamakas, vests, etc, and all are protected by US law. If people don't like it, they can shut the hell up and deal with it. It's just a piece of clothing. The sooner men make it normal the sooner it will be accepted as normal. Your place of employment can not fire you for wearing a kilt so long as it is not an occupational workplace hazard. And in an office, you are safe from being pulled in to heavy machinery. So they have no legal grounds to deny you.

Take your rights and seize them. Muster your courage, and just do it.

And don't take no crap from nobody either. Put people in their place if they give you lip. It is your right to do so. Discrimination is still discrimination. And so is sexual harassment. But that's another post.

Good luck.

From here on out, it is up to you if you want your life to become interesting. It's quite a journey. Lots of rewards. Some risks. Are ye up for it?

Edit. If this seems hostile and confrontational, it is. I have not yet hit the magical 12 cup mark on my coffee intake that makes life happy and wonderful. And I have had some bad kilting experiences lately. I do wish to make it known that I am not angry or onery at any of you.

Some of the big shot managers of the building where I live are getting pissy about my kilt wearing because they say "crossdressing" goes against the dress code in the building. I responded badly. I shut them up and put them in their place, and told them any further exchanges would be done via a lawyer. No word from them yet, but I could have handled that a whole lot better.

Don't let people step on your toes. That is all.
