Yes, Non-Binary Reddit Poster, You Obviously Should Wear A Bra To Work — Especially Around Children

Everyone, happy Friday. For today’s column, I am going to look at a post from Reddit and determine if somebody is in the wrong for not wearing a bra to work.

I answered a few more questions and also discussed the dangers of fluoride. It’s all on YouTube here.

Okay, here’s the context for today’s column courtesy of one of Reddit’s famous Am I The A**hole? (AITA?) style posts. Here’s what one person asked:

23 Non-Binary members of AFAB have given up wearing a bra for work. As an early years teacher assistant, I have to constantly bend down to pick up toys and speak with children. My bra is causing me pain all day. I have decided to start wearing a tank top under my clothes instead of a bra and I wear lots of layers anyway so, despite having a bigger than average chest, it really isn’t noticeable that I’m not wearing a bra.

While I was running with one of my children, I decided to take off my top layer. I had on a tank top, a t shirt, and some overalls so that I was covered. Despite this, my boss (42M) called me in to discuss the clothing I had chosen. I was unaware of what my boss (42M), was talking about when he suggested that I should wear bras around children. I was shocked that he’d even point it out. I told him I felt that I could live without one if it wasn’t obvious and that wearing one was causing me a lot of pain. He advised me to stick to the job and said that work was not supposed to be easy. ‘unwritten dress code’. I said I would not be wearing one going forward unless the school were willing to pay for one of the comfortable sports bras they make for larger chests (they usually range in price from £70-£150). My boss stated that I was unreasonable and that I would be required to wear a bra in the future. Although I could understand if there were any complaints from my parents, no one else has said anything except him.

AITA?

Yes, sweetheart, I am sorry to say you are the a**hole. Truthfully, I’m not sure why this is necessary.

You’re asking this question and your role is to work with children. It is important to be professional. Your boss was completely reasonable. It is not his job to make you feel comfortable. Your job is to be presentable at work.

There is a standard, of course, that when you show up to work, you’re supposed to look professional. You can’t just walk around wearing whatever you want. Whether you work with children or not, that’s true at every company.

It is absurd to think that your employer should pay for bras that make you feel more comfortable.

Parents who drop their children off at schools, daycares, clubs, or other athletic teams assume that the adult who comes to work will be dressed appropriately. 

For some reason, many people have forgotten that decency matters — especially in front of kids.

This reminds me of a woman who applied to our nannying job. She arrived at my home in booty shorts, I swear. What could she have possibly thought that we would hire this woman? She was wearing shorts and a low-cut shirt.

Why would I allow my child to walk around in a park with me dressed like this?

It would be completely inappropriate.

It’s confusing to me that she would need somebody to sit her down in an office and essentially say, “Hey, you need to dress appropriately in front of small children.”

If you have any questions “What’s appropriate for children?” is a difficult one for you to answer, then you probably shouldn’t have a job around kids.

To be honest, it doesn’t sound as if this person is even mentally fit for the job at all — and not just because she doesn’t want to wear a bra. Your bosses should have known that you call yourself non-binary. You must believe in radical gender ideology that’s not based on truth and is wreaking havoc throughout the West.

This radical gender ideology needs to be removed from classrooms along with all the nonsense that it generates. The entire goal of this ideology is to break down boundaries so that children can consent to certain sexual things — which they definitely cannot.

This is what you end up with “nonbinary” Women think they are entitled to display their naked breasts without bras in front of minors.

So yes,
