I always enjoy news stories that provide me with a chuckle or two...or three or four. We hear enough news about depressing subjects; it's time for some humor! And by humor, I mean a 17-year-old cross dresser.
A 17-year-old boy (aka the 'imposter') from Schenectady, NY was caught dressing like a girl to take a test at school. Wait, it gets even better. This boy is facing a felony burglary charge. A FELONY! This boy could serve time in jail (ahem, wasting the lovely tax money of Schenectady) for dressing like a girl!
Obviously he’s not a pro at this whole dressing like a girl thing because he was caught. So in this case, give the kid a break. Let him sit in detention or bang erasers for a couple weeks. Pair that with the humiliation from his friends and teachers and he should be good to go. He won’t dress like a girl after that. His jail time won’t make him learn a lesson; it will be the public humiliation he will endure if and when he ever sets foot back in his school (or should I say if he ever sets a high heeled foot back in the school?).
Don’t get me wrong, I am glad that the justice system is working correctly. However, jail time for a 17-year-old cross dresser doesn’t seem like the answer. Don’t we have bigger problems to worry about in our school systems?
In my high school we dedicated DAYS to dressing like the opposite sex. Boys wore swimming suits and skirts, and girls wore grungy overalls. We even chose a winner; sadly though, it was usually a boy. Call me crazy, but putting a teenager in jail for dressing like the opposite sex isn't on my list of heinous crimes. He could have done much worse.
