It's not often you run into a kindred soul. Today I did and have photographic proof. He and his significant other were out at my local Market Basket, and she shot this picture of the two of us. I'm the one in the constellation themed sweatshirt and svaha skirt.

My personal comfort level starts getting eroded at around the 16" length, or about halfway to the knee. For my wife (on me) the limit is about a couple inches above the knee. Maybe I shouldn't have intentionally picked something off the floor by bending at the waist in one of my 16" skirts...

No, it's not about pronouns. It's about not tolerating anything that challenges the rich, "white", heterosexual male hedgemony. Trans people are just convenient punching bags, because it's easy to "other" them. If trans people were to disappear overnight, these sticks-in-the-mud...

About 25 some-odd years ago, I remember reading about a truck driver who got spotted by his company cross-dressing during his off-time (around where he lives), getting fired for it, suing for wrongful termination, and losing. We've come quite a way from those days. Unfortunately, I think that the wh...

Fiction in 1953 is fact in 2025 :D More like 1945. In Robert Heinlein's book "Space Cadet", the main protagonist talks to his father on a phone that was in his pouch. I wonder if the timing of that book might actually hit the mark. It's set 50 years from now, and considering the progress ...

I doubt Sonos will ever publish their APIs. It would directly facilitate knock-off development. There may be hackers out there who manage to reverse engineer it, but of course those apps will be insufferably kludgy. What you're probably going to see is the Auracast standard get leveraged to replace ...

1974 is roughly the same time I had my first computer experiences. Dad worked for Honeywell's information systems division, and to encourage me to learn my addition tables, had written a program to present addition problems for me to do and tell me if I got it right. The reward came in that after th...

I was.
There were some safety restrictions due to the soldering operations that went with reworking prototypes. But otherwise, the standards were evenly held across both sexes.
And I hope my next job also does.

Who in Hollywood is going to do anything at all with a straight male character? We're boring, normal, and unremarkable. Hardly food for controversy, comedy, or anything else splashy. This is one of the reasons that the needle is moving so slowly for MIS. Each and every time a guy gets portrayed wea...

I was disappointed when that character, Mark, got written into the gay stereotype, in addition to moving him out of his skirts. They had a number of good episodes, like when he got screwed over by political correctness gone too far at his school Halloween party. His Frida Kahlo cosplay was spot on, ...

I spent roughly 18 years in that mode, followed by another 15 begrudgingly conforming to the same while at work.

Here's a (nearly) 10 year old article that came across in my Pinterest feed: https://www.sheknows.com/living/articles/1080230/rebecca-jurgens-portraits-of-men-dressed-like-women/ It's always refreshing to see articles like this, even if it took nearly 10 years to show up in one of my social media fe...

None of this matters to a society ruled by emotional bias. So true! This reminds me of a quote by H. L. Mencken that I really like: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all ...

Men don't complain about the bulges in the chest area of women no matter how big, even if partly exposed. Also a male bulge in a skirt, even a pencil skirt, is nowhere near as defined as that on lycra sportswear commonly worn by men. There is nothing ethical with that hypocritic oaf. I'm thinking t...

I remember that forum. I still surf it about once or twice a year. My footwear of choice has been boots, the taller the better (especially the otk and thigh high varieties). I still haven't grown tired of them yet and am looking forward to a new fall season when they'll get to come out of the closet...
