The point is that there is no gender specific clothing.
They also make skirts and dresses for men.

What's your point?

FYI, sex reassignment takes more than a few months.

Given the state of our educational system, perhaps there are more important things to worry about than how someone dresses or a person has changed sex.

"Our nation's graduating high school class of 2011 had a 32 percent proficiency rate in math and a 31 percent proficiency rate in reading, leaving many to question whether schools are adequately preparing students for the 21st century global economy, says a new report. U.S. students fall behind 31 countries in math proficiency and behind 16 countries in reading proficiency, according to the recent study, "Globally Challenged: Are U.S. Students Ready to Compete?"

I've never seen a dress in the men's clothing section.
Nor a skirt.

Can you give an example? And not something ethnic or religious based like a kilt but just an instance where you'd find a dress in the mens department of Macys.

They have to shop at Macy's?
You don't set the parameters for what people wear.
There are specialty shops for female style clothing for men.

And you must be very young if you don't remember when it was seriously frowned upon and verboten for women to wear pants at all, and they certainly couldn't wear them for work.

The same very stupid argument was used to prohibit women from wearing what they wanted to wear.

I asked for an example. Can you provide one or not?

I am not very young but your point was very pointless.
No student is going to be distracted by a female teacher wearing pants and loafers BUT it could be distracting for their male teacher to be standing in front of the classroom wearing a dress and high heels. Anyone who says otherwise is just being dishonest.

I'm all for people being themselves but the classroom is not the place for you to express your lifestyle.
