The only opinions that really matter are those of the people I actually interact with, and I believe that most of them know me well enough to not think that, and the fact that I tend to wear the kilt in such a manner as to reflect a masculine demeanor sends the message to people that don't know me.

...and, I am a man of substantial stature (bearded, 6'2", 235 lbs), so I really don't get much hassle about it.
