Girl has photo removed from the yearbook for wearing a tux
In this article, a girl decides to wear a tux in her senior portrait because as a lesbian she says that she feels more comfortable in men's clothing. This decision certainly illustrates the extent to which bodies are socialized into a particular gender. Because Ceara is biologically female, she is expected to fulfill societal expectations about how her gender should be performed. And when she doesn't perform in a typical manner she is discriminated for it.

wow. I think that is just rediculous! That they wouldnt let some poor girls picture into the yearbook because she wasn't ashamed to be who she is or try to hide it. They act as if she took the picture naked or was flippin' them the bird (which she should have been after their stupid decision). It's a freakin tuxedo people..its just crazy how some people can be so closed minded.
