Gender<br />

in Fashion<br />

Besides, why should a<br />

traditionally-masculine person wearing a<br />

dress be considered a joke while feminine<br />

people wearing suits is seen as “revolutionary”<br />

and “powerful” Why should feminimity be<br />

shamed in order for masculinity to flourish<br />

There is too much potential in this<br />

world to be lost by limiting ourselves to<br />

outdated man-made dogma. Fashion is art that<br />

should be accesible to everyone, not just the<br />

Western elite.<br />

I believe if we want fashion and<br />

self-expression to become a force of<br />

empowerment and unity, we all need to<br />

unlearn the biases of the past and embrace the<br />

vast opportunity of the future. This includes<br />

not assuming people’s gender based on their<br />

fashion choices and uplifiting others instead of<br />

tearing them down.
