When it comes to negative comments about his clothing choices, Smith takes it all in stride. In fact, he hopes to normalize young men wearing skirts and dresses so as to save kids from bullying in the future.

“You just have to believe in yourself, you know,” Smith says when asked where he draws his confidence from and what advice he’d give to anyone struggling with low self-esteem or bullying. “The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I’m going to keep not caring. I’m going to keep doing the same things—I’m going to keep doing more things. I’m going to take most of the blows for my fellow MSFTS. So, you know, in five years when a kid goes to school wearing a skirt, he won’t get beat up and kids won’t get mad at him. It just doesn’t matter. I’m taking the brunt of it so that later on, my kids and the next generations of kids will all think that certain things are normal that weren’t expected before my time.”
