What's with the "my people your people" stuff? I still don't get how we're that much different, except maybe the fact that I'm Jewish - but if you're speaking for all the White European mutts of this country, I think you might want to check with us/them before making such a firm statement. Did we elect you our spokesperson recently?
And again I ask, doesn't your profile say you're part Scots-Irish? I've seen my share of Irish & Scottish-Americans wearing kilts, so my examples DO represent your culture.
We belong to different cultures. We possess differing cultural norms. The peoples of the appalachian/ozark culture are of several origins; german, english, native american, scotts irish, even some italians came here. The wearing of kilts was never a normal garb. Nor was dressing little boys like little girls.
In all fairness tho while the kilt was worn in parts of europe by men and boys the women wore different clothing. That is not what you people are advocating. You are advocating dressing little boys like little girls. That is not a cultural norm of mine, my people, nor my ancestors.
I'm not all that familiar with Scottish or Irish culture, so thanks for the interesting link. But I'm not really advocating anything, I'm only saying that should be a free & individual choice. You say to "do whatever you want, just leave my people alone" - and this is all that's being requested in return. If a boy (or man) wants to wear a dress, why can't everyone refrain from giving him a hard time about it? I understand children will tease, but at least the adults can maintain some level of maturity. Is that so much to ask?

That's fine... I never asked YOU to change your culture or societal norms, did I? And I may have missed it, but is this boy from the Ozarks?
Think of caveman and cavewoman on an island though.
there will still be gender roles here, due to different physical and mental attributes.
Society reflects these.
