I said previously that I had worn trousers when called in 2016 and, ten years later, I'd do the same. Not because of fear of censure but simply not to be the focus of attention. In 21 it never occurred to me that there could be a major difference between the United States and the U.K. With respect t...

The boy wear the garment with knee length shorts and the girl with bikini bottoms. When the boy wears it, it is a shirt - when the girl wears it - it is a dress. It's the same garment. Indeed Stu, I have two dresses in a similar vein, elongated rugby tops! I also have dresses which are long tee-shi...

I am reading the autobiography of John Le Mesurier (Sgt. Wilson in Dad's Army), who was born 1912. There is a picture of him aged 3 and wearing a dress. And my father who was also born in 1912 also wore dresses until he was three. I was born in 1941 and never did. Though a boy about the same age as...

I have saved myself an awful lot of money by being unfazed by what side of the aisle my glasses frames come from. Just another item where gender assignment is pretty meaningless. On a different note, in your neck of the woods, "Land o' Spex", formerly "Spexpistols", is a brillian...

Meh, definitely not setting my fashion bone a tingle.

It doesn't bother me unlike some trans friends who get irate at "misgendering", but how do others find perceptions. I'm with Carl on this, no point worrying over it, because you will never stop it. The aggression I've faced was very rarely around mis gendering more like bigoted queer bash...

Leggings by their very nature ought not to be translucent otherwise they would not be able to be worn on their own. Yardstick, There is a refreshing innocence about that statement. Look around you, but very discretely! From translucent to pretty much transparent there are females of all ages who fe...

"A flowing, floaty skirt is generally considered more feminine due to its soft and delicate appearance. For a more masculine look, it's better to choose skirts with angular cuts and bolder colors, avoiding overly feminine features like lace or floral patterns. While skirts are often associated...

Actually Jamie, we don't.
Like Stu rightly pointed out, "for men" comes at a premium that is less than fun.
Steve.

But men aren’t mentioned, of course! Erm, did you really expect them to be? In 2026, I expect to see less "manskirts" than we have over the past few years. The offerings weren't that great in the first place and the political and economic climates are wrong now too. Just have to mosey acr...

To the world, I'm not known as "the guy in a skirt"; I'm known simply as "Carl" which is right and proper. Carl, In the event that I am remembered at all, I will be quite proud to be the "Guy in the Skirt". I'll have proven that if Steve can wear a skirt as a guy, any ...

https://www.skirtcafe.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24377 That's Ma Boy! This is a thread that I kicked off in 2023, in light of the latest comments here, I believe there is relevance. One thing I'll add that while I am certainly not transgendered, my alternative name, Sara, is very important to me. St...

I don't like the term "crossdrsser" but I have no problem with Molly. Check the usage BM, "Molly" as applied to a male was no term of endearment, worse than tranny or crossdresser nowadays for sure. The wearing of alternative clothes in this context is in the same line as panto,...

Me too, except there were two of us and the other a girl.
She was left alone as I recall, I got it from other boys.
The brutality of the playground is boundless.

He could wear a kilt. Sure he could and he'd be no less targeted by his unsavoury peers. Even in the land of "Men in Skirts", I would be sceptical of acceptance with maybe very little exception. Note, this comment bears no relation to my disdain for the kilt in general, it is a genuine ap...
