Bryan has a very clear idea about how he likes to dress. He told Bored Panda: \u201cTo me, clothes have no gender. I prefer skirts to dresses. Dresses don\u2019t allow me to mix the genders. I prefer a \u2018masculine\u2019 look above the waist and a non-gendered look below the waist. It\u2019s all about clothes having no gender.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI am old enough to remember that in school, the girls could not wear pants. Pants have now become a non-gendered article of clothing. So why can\u2019t skirts and heels be non-gendered? Besides, men wore heels before women did. Maybe not today\u2019s stiletto-style heels, but men did wear heels before women.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
