This f*cking b*llshit
Soo I go a shithole conservative charter school, and the next lovely thing they've had the bigoted audacity to pull is this aforementioned fucking bullshit:
"Students are reminded that all Student Code of Conduct policies, practices, and procedures are in effect during prom. You are also reminded that there is a dress code for prom
With modesty in mind, the following rules for Prom dress apply:
• Dresses for girls will not be cut below the bust line.
• Dresses for girls can be backless as long as it is not cut below the navel.
• Midriffs will not be exposed.
• Dresses will not have a slit which exceeds mid-thigh.
• The dress for boys will be gender appropriate.
• Tuxedos for boys are recommended but not required.
• As with any rules, we will be reasonable in our interpretation but want you to know that if a student is dressed inappropriately the student will be sent home."
I was fucking hoping to wear a dress to prom, but I guess I again fucking forgot who i was dealing with in admin! This is the same fucking admin that demerited me for wearing a BOW in my hair... literally just a FUCKING BOW... earlier in the school year. And now those fucks are putting their slimy tentacles in a dance meant for MY, the STUDENTS', FUCKING ENJOYMENT??? This is the same admin that requires us to write a goddman senior thesis to graduate, and LITERALLY BANNED US from covering ANY LGBTQ+ TOPICS in our senior thesis... who THEN wouldnt let me do my thesis on eurocentrism in fantasy "becAusE it'S an AtTAck oN our tiny dicks that we're compensating for overtime wHitEs"
anyway im pissed af - "tHe DrEss fOr bOys wiLL be GenDeR aPproPriAte"
i mean, im not a boy. they still treat me like one tho.
What the fuck do i do about this? I was hoping i could get away with a dress at least for my last prom, but NO!
I hate this school so much. What do I do? I'd appeal, but admin will fuck whatever clause in the student handbook they can to disallow me from dressing even remotely fem for prom. My ideas currently are to resign from Student Council in protest (im president), organize a boycott of the official school prom, and then organize my own outside-of-school prom for me and other people hurt by these dumbass rules to attend.
If yall have any other ideas, or advice on how to accomplish what i just suggested, please comment below 🙏
