[You can't see it, but he's being all smug because he gets to wear what he wants.]

D --> It's called hyperbole and metaphor, Nitram
D --> I suggested it as an e%ample to show just how much I don't care about your opinion
D --> A boy being viewed as a princess is generally a negative thing, after all
D --> So I was saying that I do not care if you think I am a princess because I do not need your approval to validate my superiority

D --> I am not being confusing, you just aren't paying attention
D --> Yes, I want to think highly of me and treat me with respect as befitting royalty
D --> Or at least nobility, as that is what I am
D --> And I did like you complimenting my hair
D --> But wearing a dress is very improper for a boy like me and it would be abso100tely shameful to be caught doing so
D --> I couldn't bear it
