I’m not & I didn’t bring it up. Was merely responding to someone else’s apparent struggle to discuss it.
My point was I don't want to have to discuss it when I'm watching a football game with my kids. Just because you believe that it is perfectly normal behavior does not mean everyone else does. In fact, 2 kids under the age of 10 knew within a second it appeared a bit strange and asked.

I am an alumnus - class of 87 - and my son is class of ‘19 and my oldest daughter is a senior and my youngest is a sophomore. I and my kids denounce the close- mindedness of you and others in this thread
The only people lacking tolerance are the woke people demanding the world change for them.

for example. I was born a white cis-male but identify as a lesbian. Gender is non binary so if you disagree you’re a bigot.

Why is it a difficult subject for you to discuss with your kids. “Oh, yeah- some guys like we to wear girl’s clothes and do girlie things, and that’s ok.”

What’s so threatening/scary/triggering for you about this?
I have 3 young children and I absolutely do not want to say something like that, ever.

No wonder our recruiting has gone in the toilet…

Clemson grad right here. I’m neither a bigot nor a redneck. Probably a lot more educated than you (2 advanced degrees) . See the problem with people like you is when all of society doesn’t adhere to your view that a certain behavior is “the norm” and “acceptable “ simply because, well, you want it to be that way . . . then those folks are ignorant, or bigoted, or rednecks. And yes, I said behavior. Being a homosexual may not be a choice, but dressing in the clothes of the opposite sex and pretending to be that sex when you aren’t, is a choice. And to most people it is offensive. Despite what Hollywood, the Democratic Party, the media or national advertisers would have you believe.
Lol!!! Post is ironic

I honestly believe recruits camp out on social media these days, and images like the one floating around on Twitter of the him/he/they along with the banter absolutely paints Clemson in a weird light. We’ve gone from our head coach hoisting a trophy to a cross dressing flag boy.
there is zero chance that any recruit is gonna cross Clemson off their list because of that dude...you are giving this way too much thought and attention

If u grew up in the south and didn’t have a little of this color in ur town, then u really didn’t have the true southern experience. Lighten up people. This is a good representation of our heritage!

exactly, my 9 year old daughter asked me about this guy yesterday, saying " is that a guy or a girl" and I simply said it appears to be a guy in a leotard..she asked why is he wearing that and I said you would have to ask him but i suppose it's because the rest of the dancers do....that was the end of the conversation

Will Caldwell survive this? Oh wait, never mind.

Seriously, can we please move this to the Round Table and get on with our lives. No one is going to change minds on an internet message board.

Exactly. No one loses their mind when one of these female football players trots out there for a chip shot field in a *gasp* football uniform. Guess that’s less of a threat to their precious and oh so fragile masculinity. I’m guessing several folks in this thread are really excited about the upcoming Alpha Con.

They take the their cues from you. They won’t think it’s an issue unless you make it an issue.

Kids will also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny if you want them to. But something as important as gender shouldn’t be treated like a fun holiday myth. It would not be a good thing to raise a kid with blindness to the (at least) weirdness of a man wearing a womens dance uniform, anymore than it’s a good thing to impose gender ideology on kids by raising “theybies”.
