Some background: I am high school senior "girl" and want to start dressing completely androgynous come freshman year of college. I already dress rather neutrally.
Graduation is coming up in a few weeks and my mom insists that I wear a dress, that no girls wear slacks under their graduation gowns, "even the masculine ones".
I however, want to wear a nice pair of slacks and a nice shirt.
She is hysterical, to say the least, but I don't feel like i want to start a new chapter of my life being somebody I'm not. Don't get me wrong, I am not trans, just want to embrace gender neutrality as I don't feel like I'm female.
Am I overreacting? Should I just wear the dress to please my family? I am one to stand solely on principle without regard to logic, so I am at a loss as to what to do here...
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
