Jamie, is it possible that people you work with don't see your kilt as any different than the skirts you have said you've worn to work before? 
It's pretty clear what a yamulke and a cross signify to almost anyone in the world. A kilt on the other hand can mean a lot of things to the uneducated or ignorant. Some people don't see a kilt any differently than a woman's skirt. Some won't see your heritage or culture when you wear it but something else entirely. We have the benefit of forums like this and a desire to educate ourselves about kilts but some people don't know anything about kilts, sporrans, etc.
As was said before, they may also be singling you out for their own reasons. Nothing surprises me about the workplace, the drama can rival most daytime soaps. Betrayal by co-workers hurts even worse- been there, done that. Just don't jeopardize your job to wear your kilt at work...you've got the other 16 hours a day and weekends to wear it.
Hang tough. Hope things work out for you.
