Why would you think dresses or scarves are a good comparison? You might think they’re fruity, but there’s no real “chukkas r gay” convention to begin with. Your argument is irrelevant because chukka boots are deemed masculine by literally everyone. I’m just barely smart enough to see that those constructs have changed repeatedly through history and aren’t a good basis for insulting or dismissing people and objects.

At almost twice the price of the rocky boots I had been wearing, I had to use about half my uniform allowance on this pair alone.
