Casey, I think you may need to narrow your topic a bit. "Unbifurcated Clothing" could encompass everything from kilts to kimonos to cocktail frocs. In other words your on the slippery slope of cross-dressing. You may wish to use society's issues with men cross-dressing as part of your argument why "kilt discrimination" exists, but I don't think you want to try and cover them under the same umbrella. There are too many different issues to deal with. If you do use cross-dressing as an argument make sure you point out the hypocrisy of women wearing men's style of clothing. You may also want to point out the hypocrisy in accepting some forms of traditional dress and not others.

Hope this helps.

It seems like every year a kid is banned from prom or some other similar function for wearing a kilt. Probably the most famous was the guy a couple of years back from Missouri. I believe his last name was Warmack. There was a big brouhaha with the principle ultimately backing down (too late of course) and issuing an apology. Go to www.realmenwearkilts.com and find information on Mr. Warmack as well as others who have suffered kilt discrimination.
