Happy New Year Girls... I think?

Happy New Year

Hopefully a new year will bring better dressed people... perhaps not!
New Years Eve in London, full of fireworks, sparkle, cocktails, hot men and women and some ... er ... people of an unknown gender.
I mean this not in an unkind way (well not horrible anyway) but I just don't understand. If you are a man, dress like one. If you are a woman, dress like one. I know there are cross overs - trousers, jeans, cardigans etc but male trousers should look as such and likewise with women.
There we were in the middle of the dance floor and, fair enough I'd had a few rum and cokes, but there were two people who we genuinely couldn't tell the gender of. They may have been men or women, transsexuals, cross-dressers but we just didn't know!! We also think they were a couple the way they were acting, hand holding and standing very close to each other. Does this raise the issue of sexuality... ?

Then on New Years Day whilst watching t4 in my pj's (mandatory for New Years) the two presenters were practically wearing identical outfits, bar the colours, and matching haircuts. Can anyone explain the homogenous fashion? I'm all for dressing in jeans, and have nothing against anyone wanting to dress like another gender due to whatever reasons, even 'feminine men' or 'masculine women'. But PLEASE make sure it is clear what gender you are or would like to be. This middle area is bizarre to me and frankly I would never dress genderless!!
