[Context: the Drinker posted this in response to a tweet of a man wearing a skirt and asking “Men of Twitter, what's stopping you dressing like this?”]
Self respect.

I almost started wearing one of my wife’s dresses when i was having gout issues and hadn’t been diagnosed successfully. Every doctor visit involved a look at my knees and i was tired of taking my pants off.
Right NOW, the only thing stopping me from wearing a dress is that i’d have to answer all the wrong questions.
I’m not gay, i’m not non-binary, i’m not whatever else my largely-conservative coworkers are goint to assume… Explaining the same thing over and over and over, so tiring.
I have worn my kilt. Not on snow days, though. I draw the line at brushing snow off my car while wearing a kilt.
And i disbelieve Drinker’s response. He puts more weight on other men’s respect than his self-image.
King Charles III will certainly wear something resembling that whenever he visits Scotland.
...and while all Royal Warrants - 'By Royal Appointment To...' - pertaining to Queen Elizabeth II are now obsolete due to her passing: from Roberts DAB Radios (as she enjoyed listening to BBC Radio 4 & the World Service) to Johnnie Walker Whisky, the latter drink will be pertinent in this instance.
As Laphroaig Whisky was Prince Charles' tipple of choice - as it had 'By Royal Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales', with that coat of arms - it can now have on their label '...HM King Charles III'.
...oh, and I challenge you to enter any pub in Glasgow and say that Scotsmen wear skirts , OP.
I'll remember to place a flower on your grave: if there's anything left of you to bury, that is...!
OH SHIT… I forgot to say this earlier, but the Drinker himself is a scotsman, making his idiotic statement even more laughable! What a hypocrite, couldn’t he remember his own fatherland is very well-known for men dressing in skirts?

Your comment reminded me how some ultraconformists (or fundamentalists) tend to also push (likely by psychological projection) conspiracy theories of ultraconformism (anything that contradicts their own positions, those people must be zombies or mindless drones or whatever). Or how those insisting to be "patriots" can actually be a threat to their own national security. Or how knowledge and science must be twisted into an evil indoctrinatory agenda, etc...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
