Not on your locked list, so I didn't see the other post. That said, YES to this one. And I don't tend to have the safety issues with it that you, and so many other people have. And yet, this is despite my choices in varyingly gendered clothing and presentation.
But again, yes. Yes to the constant worry about what one's co-workers might think, or say, if you wear things that push their boundaries. I can't wear my favorite pair of trousers to work, because while they are unisex, all the women I work with wear 'girly' trousers.
Sorry, I derailed again. Thank you, again, for sharing. Sometimes it's a matter of hearing the thoughts I'm usually too afraid to share.
