Yup, I hear you about not wearing dresses as a kid. Fortunately the rule for wearing dresses stopped when I started second grade. First grade, though? Short dresses in the snow. After living my life up until then in Tucson.
For a software engineer, the expected costume is jeans and a T-shirt. Fortunately that's what I like to wear anyway, because if I dress in anything else I get a range of negative responses from the men (who make up the vast majority of the other engineers). This also means that I apparently come off as a lesbian, even though I'm straight.
