Captioned Images Series: Why Can't I Wear Something Like That
Created: 09/11/2024
William sat in the break room with his hands in his lap, his expression a mix of frustration and disbelief. He watched as his workmates chatted casually, most of them wearing skirts or dresses—comfortable, stylish, and professional. It gnawed at him that he didn’t have the same choice.
William was dressed in the standing parking attendant uniform. A dark cyan tie and vest over a white collared shirt, with tights and black flats. He hated that he had to wear tights, but couldn't cover them with a pretty skirt like the ladies in housekeeping or in the dining room. He had convinced the higher-ups that cyan tights were like cyan pants, but his bosses didn't give in when he demanded skirts to go over the tights.
"Can I just say something?" he started, his voice tinged with irritation. The room quieted, and his colleagues turned to look at him. "I get that I’m a parking attendant, but it really bugs me that all of you are allowed to wear skirts, and I’m not. Just because I’m in a different department doesn’t mean I don’t want to feel feminine or comfortable sometimes too."
His co-workers exchanged glances, some nodding sympathetically.
"Why can’t I wear something like that? I mean, they make skirts that are practical, don’t they? It feels like there’s a rule against me looking nice just because I work with tools instead of paperwork," he added, gesturing toward the skirts in the room.
One of his workmates, Lisa, spoke up. "I never thought about it that way. Maybe it’s something we should bring up with HR. You deserve to have more options too."
William sighed. "I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, but it feels unfair. Just because I’m fixing things doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have a choice in what I wear."
