Train company totally burns customer concerned about male passenger's outfit
Last week, a passenger riding the U.K. train service TransPennine Express tweeted the train company with a complaint about a fellow passenger — who just so happened to be a male wearing a dress.
“‘Guy’ on the seat opposite me is wearing stockings and a dress,” wrote user Gary Cocker in a tweet that has now been deleted (in addition to his entire Twitter account). “What is that all about??”
Not missing a beat, the train company clapped back with this:
@gaz_cocks Probably something to do with it being the 21st century now. As long as they have a ticket, everyone is welcome on our trains ^ZS

Taking things even further, many men started posting photos of themselves wearing dresses.
