Reading posts like this makes me painfully aware just how neurodivergent I am.
It took me until... late twenties? to understand that most people _aren't_ feeling physically uncomfortable in anything long sleeved (or with long pant legs), and that they're just more... patient? tolerant than I am?
It just straight up isn't an inconvenience to other people!
I am very, very, very glad I have a career (and live in a climate) that lets me get away with shorts and short sleeves on 99,9% of days.
I myself have got very little problem with fabric on my arms or legs in general. The problem is, of course, temperature. Without any sort of reference to suits that are short sleeved, short legged, and a single layer of fabric, it feels like the article is just way off base. It's great that the author has found something he enjoys. But there are many reasons why others don't share his enthusiasm.
