    One boy in year nine (eighth grade in the United States), who was also sporting a skirt, said the protest had started with five boys, but he expected “hundreds” to join in.

    Asked if he enjoyed the feeling of wearing a skirt, he said: “It’s just a nice breeze.”

    Another boy, in year 10, said he was “put in isolation” for wearing shorts to school on the previous day.

    A mother with a 14-year-old son at Isca said: “My son wanted to wear shorts but was told he would be put in the isolation room for the rest of the week.”

    She added, “The head teacher told them ‘Well you can wear a skirt if you like’ but I think she was being sarcastic. However children tend to take you literally and so five boys turned up in skirts today – and because she told them it was OK there was nothing she could do as long as they are school skirts.”

      Why are they being femboys for wearing a piece of clothing? Kilts are a thing and aren’t seen as feminine, why should a skirt?

        It’s not, look at the color of the tie of the boy on the center right. It’s blue in the original and yellow in the edit.

        Putting photos through AI filters is what a lot of content farms/thieves do to not get caught by copyright filters.

          Also the darkest kid and the most ginger kid together on the center left are more, uh, Anglicized in the AI version.

      Nah. A kilt is longer, thicker, and has a flat double layer of fabric in the front (the apron). The pleating is only on the back and typically finer than this. Pleating a kilt is an art form all by itself and requires a lot of fabric. Those are just skirts.

    I think I’ve seen a story like this posted every 6 months for years now.

    Edit: the other story that has been recycled regularly since the dawn of time is the story of a young undergrad woman hooking up with some older sugar daddy to fund her university fees.

        My job includes going to a lot of weddings, and I probably do two weddings a year where someone shows up in a kilt. One wedding had the entire Groom’s side in kilts. Not the groom, though, he had on a tux. The Bride wasn’t letting it go that far.

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
