Cross-dressing NZ lawyer challenges 'boys' club'
A male lawyer who appeared in a New Zealand court dressed in an ankle-length skirt, lace stockings and a diamond brooch said he was protesting against a male bias in the country's justice system.
Rob Moodie, a former New Zealand Police Union secretary, stunned the courtroom yesterday when he appeared in women's clothing at a hearing related to a long-running case involving the death of a man in a bridge collapse on a North Island farm.
Mr Moodie said he wore the two-piece women's suit because of what he described as a boys' network in the court room.
"I'm objecting to the male ethos that is dominating this case and from now on I'm going to be dressing as a girl in my daily life," Mr Moodie told Reuters.
"It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't seen the gung-ho attitude in this case. The more this goes on and the deeper the cover-up gets, the frocks will get prettier," he said.
Mr Moodie is married with three children but said he had a strong female gender bias.
"The sexes are not opposite, they're complementary," he said.

I feel Mike Rondot captures the essence of an aircraft - the movement, the whole experience. Off the top of my head I have four of his prints in my house - Gazelle over Salisbury Plain (personal connection to the pilot flying the study aircraft), Concorde Farewell (I splashed out for a remarque), Jaguars over Kilduff - signed by Boscombe Down test pilots who've flown the Jag, and one of a Hawker Hunter.
If you're in the Pewsey area you could do worse than pop in to Strategic Art on the high Street and see what Dave W has in stock !
