    While I admire your attitude, I don’t think it’s a great idea to try and get around gender stereotypes by rebranding. The best way in my opinion is just to own it and be confident. Going around them in a way enforces them, because you’re changing the name to avoid the stigma that comes with breaking them as opposed to questioning and opposing it.

      I’m afraid not everyone is confident, I do however plan on getting myself a kilt one day as well as some programming/Unix socks to go with it.

        The key is to start small and go slowly. It’s possible to build up confidence over time and just work up to it.
