Dress Code Update

Recently in just the past day or two, news and emails have been spread around that girls will soon no longer be able to wear leggings/joggers/sweatpants and it is completely unfair not because it exists, but because it only applies to the girls, AND we have near nothing we can wear as undergarments. We can only wear leggings if we are wearing a shirt that goes past our mid thigh, and that is completely irrational. We are asking you to sign this petition even if you are not in the SCPS school district, or even still enrolled in school to try to convince our district to give us our rights to our leg clothing back (i.e. leggings, joggers, sweats, and skinny jeans). We would highly appreciate it because we would like to not have to buy an entire new wardrobe just to fit the dress code.

Also, we find it completely unfair that only the GIRLS are sexualized for their bodies in school. For instance, im wearing a shirt with a shortish v-neck. Last time i wore this, i had on a regurlar bra and got dress coded for having too much clevage. Right now, in the same shirt and while wearing a binder but still looking like/identifying as female, i have not been dress coded. Keep in mind, i am currently in the class of the teacher who once dress coded me for this shirt for it being distracting, and when i walked into class she whispered, "Much better" to me.

(also since one of you (who is an asshole) has said for me to make this more "mature" and said for me to fix the "spelling errors" i would like you to DM me on instagram saying what spelling errors are in those two previous paragraphs and tell me if this is mature enough for your ignorant ass :) )

 

Ack hem.

I believe that the girls in the school should have a little bit of freedom when it comes to clothing, because it is pretty idiotic if a girl is basically only allowed to wear jeans or a dress/skirt with leggings. Have you ever heard of something as being comfortable? Apparently not if only one gender has the ability to wear a specific type of clothing. Even then, girls should be allowed to wear sweatpants/joggers to feel comfortable. If a girl is on her period and has cramps/bloating and it hurts to wear jeans, then they should have another option. Also, if a girl has thick thighs and gets chaffing and the chaffing caused 1st-3rd degree burns but they have to go to school, they should have another option other than leggings with a shirt 20 sizes too big or leggings with a dress.

 

            So, after thinking this through thoroughly, I have thought about how that the TEACHERS and the ADULTS at the school have noticed the girls…”assets” to the point that they have started to believe that they are a distraction that needs to stop. I honestly feel disgusted that a teaches/administrator/school worker has possibly noticed my body and taken it as a sexual thing. I feel more disgusted that a woman/man who is married and/or 2 or more times my age has possibly seen an article of clothing my friends or I have worn and seen it as sexual than I would feel if a kid in one of my classes were to not only point out a bra strap showing but fix it for me themselves. And do you know why? Because an adult should not look at someone who isn’t even a teenager yet and see them as looking sexual, acting sexual, or thought that another person would be having sexual thoughts regarding my looks. Also, we are extremely safe in the schools to the point where we are never more than a mile away from an officer, but we are told we cannot wear revealing clothes because guys/girls might have sexual thoughts or sexually assault us in any way shape or form, but when in a public area with no officers around and the ability to be raped/sexually assaulted at any moment, we are allowed to wear whatever we want. This honestly makes me sick to even think about, so much so that some person(s) and I have taken this a step further and written this.

Mature enough to get my point across more clearly? Ignorant, loathsome, idiotic, repulsive, medicore, redundant, diabolicle person with your superfluous comment that was unnecessary. I hope you enjoied my little tirade about you.
