How bad is/was the dress code at your school?

[Apteryx]

I ask this because I was dress coded yesterday for the dumbest thing. They said my skirt was too short and my thighs were exposed (the skirt ended just above my knees). I decided not to make a big deal of it but then they refused to dress code a guy (who is cisgender, he's just a femboy) for wearing a crop top that was so small that it was basically a sport bra. When I asked the vice principal about that, he said that the other guy was "just expressing himself". Is that legal or was something else at play here?

For some reason, guys had to wear long pants at over 35 degrees Celsius (nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit) because that's apparently "polite" or something, even if shorts are still long enough to covery our knees. Stupid sick ♥♥♥♥♥. If you show up in such shorts, the fascist ♥♥♥♥♥ scream at you and kick you out as if you killed someone. Degenerates. I live in Croatia and it's still like this.

sry to hear that, the only exception imo would be, if snakes are around or so maybe. then long trousers and boots would make sense, otherwise it dont imo. but alot of adults stuff doesnt make sense and they are still powertripping like crazy about it, like its the most important stuff. its super annoying imo too. i think the adults just dont want to let go of their powers and they are totally powertripping. and the older they get the more they are tripping.

My school's back in the 80's and 90's had no dress code.

Idk where you got the notion that "cisgender" is a slur. As far as I know, it just means your gender identity matches your sex at birth such as someone who is born male and identifies as male. It's simply just the inverse of transgender.

"Cis" is a Latin suffix meaning "trans-", and is traditionally used in scientific contexts. So when you refer to heterosexual people as "cis" or "cisgender", you're addressing their sexual orientation as transgender without their consent. Last I recall, that's considered a slur.

Wtf are you talking about?

They won't let you into school if you didn't had black socks, you also had to wear school uniform with tie, if you didn't had shoes they let you wear theirs but you also force you to stay after school if you didn't had black shoes

I'm just going by your own rules.

Also EDIT: Back in the 90s, it was not uncommon for female high school seniors to wear tuxedos to prom with their girlfriends. Nobody batted an eye, because we grew up watching Annie Lennox and Demi Moore on MTV.

What the ♥♥♥♥ did I just read?

"cis-" is a Latin prefix which means... well... obviously... "cis-"... and it's the opposite of the prefix "trans-", meaning "on this side of" and "on the other side of" respectively, like "cisalpine" meaning "on this side of the Alps" and "transalpine" meaning "across the Alps".

There wasn't any at mine. I'm pretty sure you could get in trouble for wearing something excessively revealing, though.

Yeah, I'd like to know too... saying that antonyms are synonyms? Not to mention gender doesn't have anything to do with sexual orientation.

…The consistent parts of it throughout elementary, junior and high school were no spaghetti straps and no gang attire.

It's not a slur, unless you're from a part of the country where it is a slur

Had one in kidergarten that was completely ridiculous looking back at it now. It was in the late 1980s, and all students, whether boys or girls, had to wear this uniform that quite literally had a skirt.

Then had one in school up until the fall of Communism, when schools abandoned the school uniform.

Then there was an attempt by my highschool to add one, but a lot of students refused to wear it and the school personnel didn't care to police the students, so it was ultimately abandoned.

Primary school none, just ordinary street clothes. Secondary a uniform when corporal punishment was still legal. Thats the 'strap' big leather thing used to cause pain on the palm of your hands. Dirty fingernails shoes dirty you got the 'strap' No wonder I left school first chance aged 16, I wasn't dirty or poor just scruffy.

EDIT: PS I'm not saying kids from a less well off background were dirty but there was a common misconception that being scruffy or dirty was down to bad parenting and or an impoverished background.
