David has always fought against these taboos, from his earliest interviews on he has spread the message that being locked in a box of forced masculinity is boring and worse, limiting.
In a time where people who are transgender, gay, flamboyant or in any other way different from the “norm” are facing fresh oppression around the world (homophobia is reported to be rising in the UK), people like David are needed to spread a counter message. David is working hard at doing this and is succeeding.
His book The Boy in the Dress, which he admitted was semi autobiographical, is selling in countries where being gay, trans or different is illegal, changing young peoples’ outlook, showing that being different is actually being normal.
This World Book Day it was clear how much of a difference David is truly making: his timeline was flooded with young boys proudly in dresses, some mothers said they even demanded makeup! These boys were not afraid to do what they wanted, not limited in their choices, they just thought wearing a dress was fun. The book has opened their eyes. So if in future they may see or BE the person that prefers the feminine over the masculine and they will hopefully see it as normal – having David’s message in their mind.
