Re: Dresses?

I find dresses extremely comfortable and nothing is better than a dress in summer for keeping cool. I came to skirts after getting used to dresses and had to learn how to wear a skirt. Having done that I now love skirts as much as dresses. The one advantage a skirt has over a dress is that it allows...

Re: Revisiting the effect of the trans movement on us

I always thought the USA was the land of the free. I hope you (as a nation) get the legislation through.

Dresses?

I have seen a lot of comment to the effect that men are the wrong shape to wear dresses. Up to a point this is correct but I don’t think it is for a lot of men. There are many styles of dress and a large variety of material. I think there is a dress style to suit most men. I am slim and fit with wid...

Re: Revisiting the effect of the trans movement on us

I have only just started going out in public wearing a skirt and haven’t had any reaction from anybody at all - nobody is any different. The first few times out I wore a dark coloured, relatively short skirt. Last time I wore a longer, patterned skirt with a pink fitted top. I expected to feel more ...

Re: Sexual Fetish or Gender Expression?

We seem to fall into a gap. There are those who refer to themselves as cross dressers, who mainly want to wear wigs and make to try and pass as a woman. Then there are trans women; the edges between these and cross dressers is a bit blurred sometimes. Also there are the non-binary types. All the abo...

Re: The epilator

I use a Braun, which can be relatively fast as it is designed to glide across larger areas, while smaller areas and places where hair grows faster can be stamped. The instructions are to remove longer hair first, either by shaving, epilating or using cream. I started by epilating and then using the ...

Re: The epilator

After epilating once a week for four years I bought an IPL device in the spring. After having to use it weekly for the first three months I now only need to do so about every six weeks. In addition I epilate about once during this period. The results and time saving are amazing.

Re: gender-inclusive skirt

I can’t say I would wear a skirt made for a man or to be gender inclusive. Clothes made for men are always over-engineered and too heavy and bulky. There is a huge variety of skirts available and getting the right one is a joy. But as with everything, each to his own and those who want a heavy skirt...

Re: First steps in tights

Tights are wonderful once you get the hang of them and learn how to put them on and west them properly. I go bare legged in the warmer months and then graduate from 15 denier to 30, then 60 and eventually 120 as the weather gets colder. The thicker they get, the easier they become to wear and look a...

Re: Difficulties with partners

I am lucky in that my wife accepts my wearing skirts and dresses. She still doesn't understand why and occasionally has to be reassured that it's not a reflection on her (far from it, in fact). Over the past four years I have evolved from wearing skirts and dresses only when the two of us were alone...

Hello

I have joined this today. I have been wearing skirts and dresses occasionally for many years. With the agreement of my wife I began regularly to wear them at home several years ago and now wear a skirt or a dress at home most of the time. Today I went out in public wearing a skirt for the first time...
