damn! i‘m learning stuff i‘ve never heard before. eg how clothes represented your gender and if you wore clothes of a different gender, it meant you changed genders - which king james I of england in 1619 absolutely hated and thought turned the world upside down lol. oh and how gay guys always were!!!! that dressing as a man (as a female) meant that you‘d attract males!!!! WILD. @leonie you‘d love this!
