Amazing how people are so superficial and cowardly...
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Thanks! This may surprise you, but I've never actually seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

SC, rent the Rocky Horror Picture Show and watch it after the kids are in bed. It's a cult classic and you will either love it or hate it. Make a note of the cast members and ask your self if you envisioned them in that movie instead of where they are now in their careers.
I love Carlsberg beer and I would fit in to that crowd pretty easily in my casual clothes, the dead give away would be my short hair, regulation beard (at least up until the Secretary of the Navy prohibited beards), and lack of visible ink. Being of a larger stature (I have been mistaken for Bigfoot more than once... But that's a story for another time) than most I have been described as sinister looking by my own friends, especially sporting my favorite shades.
I spend more time than I like to admit wearing a suit and tie in a business environment and have been told I clean up pretty good. It's funny, even shocking, to me how much the "right" clothes, a smile, a friendly tone of voice, and a hand shake eases most people's assessment of who I am, what I am capable of, and what my intentions are. Granted in a business situation I'm obviously the salesman but in public many people react to me more positively when I'm wearing my businessman's attire.
Oddly enough when I am dressed as myself and frequenting an airport, grocery store, or other public venue little kids wave to me and approach me like they would any other person they know and trust while their parents and guardians have their own private panic attacks. Don the suit and tie in the same scenario, no one blinks an eye at me and I'm fully accepted as an upstanding member of the community with little or no scrutiny, little kids still behave the same way.
Nature or nurturer?
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
