Hello from the west of Scotland
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 12:52 am
I've been lurking for a wee while but I have decided it's time to sign up and speak up!
I'm a long-time would-be skirt wearer and I've worn some in private when the opportunity has arisen, but now I'm trying to pluck up the courage to go public. I've owned a kilt for years and as I only wear it on the usual sort of occasions when you expect to see kilts in Scotland - weddings, ceilidhs, etc - that is unremarkable and doesn't count as wearing a skirt. (I once wore it to a wedding in Brighton, not realising it was becoming trendy among the large gay community there, but that's another story!) Buoyed by the stories here from several members about how the world continued to turn when they first wore a skirt in public, I have taken some bigs steps in that direction, which I will tell you all about some time soon. Others' experiences have been helpful to me and hopefully mine will be of use or interest to someone else. But for now it's just a "hello" as it's too late at night for any more, and I type slowly.
