Enable the choice for light blue graduation gowns back

/ #27 I would like to politely dissent! Do not delete this -- we need the discussion!!!2014-11-14 00:53The reason there's only one color choice now has nothing to do with gender equality! Rather, it has all to do with senstivity towards people with non-cis gender identities, as well as considerance to the way we uphold the gender binary. By making light blue an option, I imagine all girls will be pressured to wear light blue, and again the boys will not be the ones wearing light blue out of the stigma against it. You're unfairly putting trans and gender non-comforming students through a lot of anxiety by doing this. Trust me, this is significant and we need to stop marginalizing these peoples' feelings. Due to the pressures to comform with what everyone else is doing (e.g. boys to wear navy and girls to wear light blue), you'll pretty much end up with a graduating class with the boys wearing navy and the girls wearing light blue if you give them the right to choose. This doesn't reflect diversity. This reinforces the gender binarism and discourages people who define themselves in other ways. By making this an issue of aesthetics, you're ignoring more serious issues. |
