So this is a question for those of you who've been playing this game for a while. What are your thoughts on why we're such a threat to the rest of the world?
I'm not making drastic changes to my life to explore this. I'm slowly incorporating boyish clothes more consistantly into my wardrobe. I'm wearing sports bras to minimize my chest. I'm contemplating chopping off my hair. Some people don't seem to notice these changes; some people are cool with it. Then there's a special class of people that seems insulted by my lack of interest in girly clothes. One of my housemates exemplifies this. Whenever I look boyish she points it out with a frown. On the other hand, if I dress girly, she points it out and asks why I don't dress like that all the time. We've had a couple of conversations where it's become very obvious that she thinks I'm stupid and very strange for dressing the way to do...and that somehow these changes are a threat to her. It's like she can't deal with what I'm wearing, and that I'm insulting her with what I wear. If she were more direct (she's probably the least confrontational person I've ever met) I'm sure she'd've told me straight up to stop dressing this way because she can't deal with it.
I don't understand this. I figured people would think I'm weird or whatnot, but I didn't expect this feeling that other people feel threatened by my clothing. Why do they find it scary that I'm dressing away from the norm?
