As a statement of fact, I personally possess none of those items. The closest I can claim is single-pierced ears and a fleece coat. I love that people are who they are in this part of the world. The pressure to conform to a particular look is ignored. I know female school administrators with half-sleeves and a large amount of ink across their backs. I know male teachers with visible piercings in multiple places. And I know several other people who flaunt gender norms and expectations and no one questions their professionalism. I won't claim it's Utopia here. It's not. It's just we choose to get fussy about things other than appearances. For that reason, I feel like I fit right in.
