Indeed denimini, the less worn under one's skirt the better. But there are limits: https://encyclopediadramatica.se/File:PerryPenis.gif

In that gif, I don't think he's (she's?) wearing underwear. You can tell.skirtyscot wrote:Indeed denimini, the less worn under one's skirt the better. But there are limits: https://encyclopediadramatica.se/File:PerryPenis.gif
One possible explanation of that disquiet might be that you're (in the abstract sense) worried that what others may think of you is what you though when seeing that image for the first time. It's a visceral reaction, not one rooted in logic, which is why it manifests as an emotional response instead of an intellectual one. It's likely something similar that drives various partners to be repulsed by our choice of attire.moonshadow wrote:Stories like the one of Lila Perry for some odd reason make me somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of wearing a skirt in public. I'm not sure why.
Sometimes that's the best reaction we can hope for. It's not optimal by a long shot, but there was a grudging respect in his reaction which is good, and sometimes a grudging respect can open one's eyes more than a ready respect.I prefer the reaction of that redneck trucker who saw me at the Flying J that first time I took my Macabi out last summer, granted he was giving me some dirty looks, but he said to his buddy... "well I gotta say, he's got balls".... damn right!
Are you implying that a horse drawn buggy is preferable to an automobile while skirting in public?crfriend wrote:This is why carriage and confidence are important for us.
Yeah, I think that's probably it. Which is why each time I force myself to shove my (maybe unfair?) prejudice on this down into the pit of my stomach, and continue to skirt on....crfriend wrote:One possible explanation of that disquiet might be that you're (in the abstract sense) worried that what others may think of you is what you though when seeing that image for the first time.

I love going regimental, but I love the look and feel of tights as well. And thigh-highs tend to slip down, and garter belts have their own problems. So I switch off.denimini wrote:I suppose I am responding with a warm climate perspective but is seems that more than half of the joys of wearing a skirt would be lost by wearing so much tight fitting stuff under it...

Some vanity is probably needed to maintain the "carriage and confidence", which is I think is essential to doing anything unconventional.moonshadow wrote:Yes, I realize that that too, is vain on my part, and I'm somewhat a slave to my own vanity in that regard.
I'm not considering a flat look because I'm worried what others think, but because I'm curious what they'd think.denimini wrote:...don't dress flat if only because you worry what others think.
I think the over all..... "strange" look of the gal is the hair. There's something about the hair, almost like it's made of plastic. It seems like a wig, but I can't be sure. It's way too much for her head. The shirt is also a bit oversized, and although I'm not judging, she has a "skinny boy's" bone structure that is making the whole think awkward. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm a weird looking fella myself... then again, I'm not the one trying to pass as a teenage girl either, so there's that....r.m.anderson wrote:Very sloppily dressed (skirted) skirt is at almost the hip line.
Skirt appears to be too large a size for the individual.
Skirt should be raised to the waist level.
Blouse or 'T' shirt should be tucked in if skirt worn at waist.
If the skirt is worn at hip level the hem line of the blouse should not reach that level.
Yes there is movement in the front field of the skirt and may not have been so much if the skirt was worn at the waist.
Fair enough, we are all curious about what people think but we will never know, even if they tell us that they think this or that we still don't know what they really think.Caultron wrote:I'm not considering a flat look because I'm worried what others think, but because I'm curious what they'd think.denimini wrote:...don't dress flat if only because you worry what others think.
That's part of what makes skirt-wearing interesting for me as well: it's interesting to see how others react.
I doubt it's something I'd ever do often; it'd just be an experiment.
One interesting hypothetical I ran whilst thinking about this earlier is...dillon wrote:Lila Perry didn't do her image or cause any favors by failing to suppress her genitalia. While I support her as a transgender youth, she needs to exhibit some restraint and maturity. She should fight for her rights, but not in a graphically offensive manner, and her parents should be advising her to that end. I'd encourage her to take lessons in discipline and demeanor from the brave African-American students who were the first to challenge the segratation of all-white public schools and universities.
You raise an interesting, and thorny, point that is a bit off-topic for this thread and certainly off-topic for this forum; I'll understand if the admins don't want us to chase down that rabbit hole here.moonshadow wrote:What if a boy about Lila's age, decided "he was a girl inside", and thus, began to call himself transgender, BUT didn't dress like a girl, no skirts, no dresses, no long hair, makeup, etc? To look at our hypothetical "boy", he just looked like an ordinary boy. Yet his "soul" is that of a girl. Should he be denied use of girls facilities? This isn't meant to start debate... I'm really hung on this little paradox personally and I'm not sure which way to lean.
