“It’s not a principle if it doesn’t cost you anything”
Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.
No political grandstanding please.

I got fired for filing a discrimination lawsuit against my employer for barring me from wearing the kilt I’d worn at least 2-3 times per week for two years. The banning was because they decided it was not “professional attire”, but all the yoga pants, miniskirts, and sleeveless dresses are just fine.
There’s a lot more to the story including a trip to mental health urgent care and the actual firing call happening while I was on FMLA.
I mean, wear what you want by all means, but as a Scot who’s worn a kilt a handful of times at very formal occasions it seems pretty odd to wear it on the daily. To each their own, of course, but it is a bit unusual. What made you decide to push ahead with this, knowing that your work wasn’t keen?
What is FMLA?
Family Medical Leave Act. Let’s you leave work and get paid for a period of time (I believe at a reduced rate) if a family member is having medical issues.
Almost always it’s unpaid. Any paid leave you have is accrued separate from FMLA leave. The only thing it guarantees is you’ll have a job when you get back from any number of protected leave reasons.
It’s a thing USians can envoke, to not come in to work, when they can’t even. Edit: spelling
