This guy is my hero! I was kinda wondering, though, how can schools at this date and age still say what students can wear? Finnish schools don't have dress codes, but I guess social pressure would keep most guys from wearing skirts, except in few special schools.

I found the Washington Post's thing about this spectacularly snarky.

"Coviello is not a skirt kind of guy. In a photograph documenting his fashion victory, he wears a red plaid kilt with a black "And Justice for All" Metallica T-shirt. Because he is built more like a football player than a sprinter, the skirt dissects his body into unflattering sections. He would be better served if the skirt and T-shirt were in the same color family. Just a suggestion."

What the hell is wrong with And Justice For All?

I used to wear a long black skirt back in 2000 and 2001. It was partly because I thought it looked good on me, and partly because I wanted to stir up the traditional gender expectations. But I also began to attract negative comments from random people, and I got sorta afraid that someone might beat me at night or something. Also, skirts on guys were getting kinda trendy then, and I didn't want to appear trendy. So I stopped wearing the it. I still have the skirt though, and I still sometimes wear it for occasions that require something a bit fancier.

I used to wear a dress occasionally for a night out in Hull. Now that's hardcore. It wasn't dead tranny or anything though.
