Japanese public school to allow male students to wear skirts, chest ribbons as part of uniform
| There are a couple of interesting things about the public Kashiwanoha Middle School. Its students will share a cafeteria and swimming pool with the adjacent elementary school, and sixth-graders will have class in the middle school section of the combined campus, to help ease their transition out of elementary school.
| But what’s most unique is that when middle schoolers start classes this spring, students of both genders will be able to freely choose between wearing slacks, skirts, neckties, or chest ribbons.
| Originally, the school had considered not even requiring uniforms, but a survey found that roughly 90 percent of the parents of incoming students wanted their children to wear them. A committee of parents, students, educators, and local residents was formed to decide on what sort of uniforms the school should have, and a decision was reached that out of consideration to LGBT youths,
| The world should accept skirts as unissex clothing
| the strongly gender-associated sailor suit (for girls) and straight-collared gakuran jacket (for boys) should be ruled out.
| With those two traditional options nixed, the committee settled on more gender-neutral blazers for the uniform’s top. But in keeping with its goal of helping LGBT students feel comfortable with what they’ll be wearing to class, it was also decided that both boys and girls will be able to select whether they’d like to wear slacks or a skirt, as well as whether they’d prefer to finish off the ensemble with a tie or ribbon.
| While some Japanese schools allow or require girls to wear neckties, letting boys wear ribbons is a largely unprecedented move.

All the words for this. I have (well, had) a kilt and it was quite comfy to wear, honestly.
| It's quite unfair that girls can wear pants, but boys can't wear skirts. If we want real equality both should be accepted
| This is cool but also only opens more victims to the Japanese hentai

Are you new here? Skirtbois and traps have been in hentai for decades now. Not sure what's new here.
Unless you're talking about real life creeps and child molester, in which case, use English, you moon people.
| Shit, there's going to be so many more trap boys now. Praise be!
| Yes. Yes. Yes.
The trap revolution has begun!
| I mean molesters

| Blessed news post
| >>142320 it's called a kilt, and if you called it a skirt to a Scot they would punch you for ignorance
| >>144001 that's why it's called a kilt. Cause if you call it a skirt anywhere a Scot can hear you, you will be.
...that joke strikes me as super insecure, but I laughed at it once
| I'm a proud g/u/y, Conservative, heterossexual and bla bla bla, yet I can't fucking deny that don't using pants is the best sensation ever
| Having the wind blows the slashes of cloth while you walk while feeling it making a massage on your legs is just awesome (it was with Japanese clothing though, I'd go for it if I was a dumb teenager)

| > Brand-new middle school to let students of any gender wear whatever uniform components they feel comfortable in out of consideration to LGBT youths.
In 2012, Kashiwanoha Elementary School was opened in Chiba Prefecture’s Kashiwa City. Since elementary school lasts six years, this April the school’s first batch of students will be moving up to junior high, and so the newly built Kashiwanoha Middle School will be opening up next door
