    As a queer liberal millennial and a professional carpenter who may present very clearly either way depending on context, I would like to point out that the cops also do this but the other way around. You win some, you lose some.

      Dude, I love “good ole boy” camo. When I’m working I drive a big F350 filled with shovels and rakes and implements of destruction, wear boots and work pants, and generally blend into the blue collar landscape of semi rural Maine. And it’s so fun to watch somebody’s face change when they realize I don’t hate trans people or Mexicans or libruls, and even better when it dawns on them that I in fact, think they’re the disgusting ones.

        If I play my cards right, I can get the big burrito AND get let off with a warning. I just can’t wear cute shorts while committing acts of mischief, and washing up before hitting the taco shack may be advised.
