Boy in Dress

Boy in a Dress

I’m a boy, and like to wear a dress to school, church, etc. Whilst the people at church and most of those at school treat me with respect, not all students do. In 8th Grade, this group of 6th graders would always catcall me and make vulgar comments about my body. There was one incident where I was wearing my dress during a fire drill. I had just talked to two female friends of mine who I had been really good friends with in 7th Grade. Afyer we finished talking, I started to move ahead from them, wanting to get to class sooner. Then, I felt someone touch my butt and heard them laugh. They thought, bevause I was dressed like a women, that they could sexually harass me. Another time, I was wearing my dress and walking to the bus. I felt someone touch my butt. I looked over to see two boys, I guessd in 7th Grade. They said it was an accident, so I turned around. Then I felt again, and turned around to see them laughing. I haven’t told anyone of these incidents because it happens to so many women, that I feel like I would seem like some sort of snooty men’s rights activist if I reported it, and I’m definitely not a men’s rights activist. There are also several oher times where people have made fun of me or assumed my sexual orientation due to my clothing.
