Teenage Boys in Skirts Restored Our Faith in Humanity<\/b>
\nEarlier this month hemlines were high at Colégio Pedro II in Brazil. After seeing their transgender classmate Maria Muniz get suspended for wearing a skirt to school, the boys<\/a> and girls<\/a> of the school all wore skirts to show their support. As you can see from the photo that quickly went viral, transgender advocacy has never looked better. <\/p>\n

Thanks to the efforts of these awesome teenagers<\/a> and pleated fabric, the suspension was overruled, and, according to Globo<\/em><\/a>, the school district is reconsidering the dress code in place. Outside the Colégio Pedro II community others are showing their support by using the hashtag #VouDeSaia.<\/p>\n

\n

#VoudeSaia<\/a> our generation is made of beautiful and clever people. we are united against discrimination.<\/p>\n

Faith in humanity, RESTORED. Support for EQUALITY! #VoudeSaia<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis is quite a win after the news of a not-so-friendly wardrobe change by students at Commack High School. As a “joke” the students took two photos donning T-shirts spelling out the word “RAPE.” The first photo showed the students standing side-by-side spelling out “RAPE?” The second, even more disturbing photo that was tweeted replaced the question mark with a period, spelling out “RAPE.” That photo featured a person lying on the ground with arms bound.<\/p>\n

It seems that these boys<\/a> could take a lesson from the students of at Colégio Pedro II. The takeaway? Advocacy looks good on everyone.<\/p>\n
