http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/is_opposite_gender_day_offensive_or_helpfulFor many high school students, homecoming week is an opportunity to dress silly and have fun. Aside from the homecoming football game, students participate in themed days of the week, such as twin day or school colors day. Each day of the week, students can show their school spirit by choosing their outfit in line with the day's theme.
At some schools, one of the days is "Opposite Gender Day," where students essentially dress as if they were transgender. Jackson High School is one of those schools -- but some have raised objections to the event.
Are these "Opposite Gender Days" offensive to transgender students?
