Is it true that in a place like Florida, this guy would've been arrested for not wearing clothes that correspond to his gender identity?

this is actually the lowest effort bait I've seen in a long time, I am actually impressed that cgl is relevant enough to still harbor this kind of bullshit

>>10952912
in what way is it bait? im asking about the guy in the madoka cosplay, not the guy with the suit

>>10952916
>in what way is it bait? im asking about the guy in the madoka cosplay, not the guy with the suit

No /thread

...Actual answer: ONE (1) con in Florida tried this, Transformers too appropriately enough. Something like
>Due to state law, we cannot permit crossdressing at this event
Never saw it before or ever again

>>10952916
While I understand that this is a bait thread like what kind of loser actually has to take a picture of some madoka crossplayer then come on 4chan asking if it's legal? This is the worst pol level bait I've seen

Are you the legendary moonway who tries to start shit on cgl? It's funny because last night at a room party we were talking about some shitty crossplayer who always tries to spread rumors about others and this fits the bill.

oh i see, i thought it was a state-level policy that florida cons enforced
>>10952950
i didnt take the picture, i found it online. and i didnt ask if it was legal in general, i asked if it was legal in specific situations, that being florida cons where the state has lots of legislation about assigned gender and gender conforming and shit like that

he shouldve been arrested just for showing his hairy legs, scraggly beard and the degenerate crying emoji.

>OP treats gender identity as a costume

If you can't tell the difference between gender dysphoria and pretend play (cosplay) then you need to slow down with the concern trolling.

Madoka wears gloves as part of her magical girl outfit, I'm disappointed in the low effort. He's also missing the soul gem, so it's really a 3/10.

>>10953008
he should’ve been arrested just based off of that

Kind of weird cause I remember when Florida was known for Man-Fay

You need to stop treating gender as a costume. Listen to that; what I literally just said. Any and all laws about gender identity and presentation have no overlap with costuming. You keep treating people's personal sense of self like it's a cosplay and as long as you treat transgender people like that you'll never understand what any law around the subject could or could not mean.

>>10953101
im not? but i know a lot of red states are trying to target drag queens, and crossdressing is pretty much dressing in drag

>>10953139
under florida law you can be arrested for crossdressing if it's part of a performance, because it could qualify as a "drag show". it's not clear how this applies to crossplay. someone could argue crossplaying while participating in a panel could qualify, but since cons themselves are ticketed events, it's possible being in the con at all qualifies. but it would also require someone to actually call the cops to complain, which i don't see happening.

Okay, so, let me try to be even more blunt and literal here; in order to understand the motivations behind the laws that bigots are enacting, you have to understand gender-nonconforming identities (non-cis) are NOT costumes OR performances and that there are distinct differences between them, which is why each of these concepts go by different names and are not all referred to as one thing.

Drag performances involve a performer embodying a persona of the oppisite sex and gender identity; a cis man embodying the persona of a cis woman (dragqueen), a cis woman embodying a cis the persona of a cis man (dragking).

The Florida law would not apply to cross dressing cosplay because you are not "embodying" a oppisite cis persona and performing as such, you are WEARING clothing.

Equally, being trans is not a drag performance because you are not embodying and performing as a persona; you are living as your athentic self.You feel you ARE, you are not putting on an identity for a "show" and then taking it off afterwards; you post transition are you and so there is no performance to "report".

I'm being so nit-picky because, even though these laws are stupid to begin with, you have to really understand what their aimed at in order to defend yourself if you get accused of breaking them.
This is not the time to over-generalize people and lump them all together. It's important to understand being a drag performer currently in-character is different from an anime costume thrown on top of yourself and that's very different from being transgender. Until these unfair laws are appealed, you HAVE to stop free-associating everything together in one pile.

just wanted to say that i appreciate your effort in typing this out. i wasnt trolling when making the post and was genuinely curious as someone who doesnt live in america and as someone who does care about trans people’s rights (i know, a rarity in 4chan).

the question came up because i remember seeing a florida con that banned crossdressing out of an abundance of caution as discussed previously in the thread so that’s why i asked in the first place.

youre right that these laws are insidious and stupid and i agree with you. its the same reason why theyre pushing to ban porn, because theyre trying to classify lgbtq people as pornographic

>>10952908 (OP)
This guy looks like he sleeps under miatas

>>10953162
>arrested for crossplay
Only when they start arresting the girl cops who are wearing pants

>>10952908 (OP)
No you idiot

unkept "I swear im not a fag" dude wearing shades + some cheapo low effort feminine cosplay has got to be one of the least original, yet total dogshit cliches at cons
its the "my favorite anime is shrek/KotH/CitH" of cons

>>10952908 (OP)
Damn didn't know I had some legends here
