Congratulations! From here it only gets easier.grlyboy wrote:i just wore my first skirt in public to a few stores.it was a very liberating experience. i wore a regular black tank though.

Yeah it definitely was. I'd already went to park and to store in yoga pants. Half scared to death. Was not as nervous this time in skirt. It's just unbelievable that I walked into an Alabama gas station and the lady cashier didn't even bad an eye. I've never seen a guy wearing skirt or dress around here. One time this goth guy had a long flowing dress on.skirtingtheissue wrote:Wasn't that fun? Didn't that feel great? It does keep getting better, too. Nice going!
Well done! I've worn outfits similar to yours in the summer which gets plenty hot in my neck of the woods and it's quite comfortable. The first time out in public while wearing a skirt, regardless of the time of year can be more than a little unnerving because you don't know what to expect. But, once those imaginary fears turn out to be unfounded, that's when things become enjoyable, and yes, it does get easier from there. Keep on keeping on!grlyboy wrote:i just wore my first skirt in public to a few stores.it was a very liberating experience. i wore a regular black tank though.

i know! i swear they do not. a Mexican asked about it but did not say anything negative. and the cashier was really cool. i wore a dress today. just to the dollar store and to pump gas. it is this one. it is labeled as a Victoria's Secret coverup dress. It is kind of short, so I wore some opaque tights. I will post picture. I need better shoes though. all I have is black Nikes. And where I live people generally do not where this stuff. I do not think my legs has ever felt the wind like that. I still cannot get over how comfortable skirts and dresses are. i like wearing bras. So if i go without a bra, the comfort level is through the roof! I always thought a good fitting pair of jeans was comfortable. And they are. But not nowhere near the level of a skirt or dress.skirtingtoday wrote:Great stuff - the first time is the worst - and you have got over that!
Thereafter it gets easier as you realise that most folks don't bother - to the extent you wonder if they even notice!
Keep it up!

-note, must re-order fire extinguishers- )i agree. do not get me wrong. i do. but i am not making a discussion on "that item" as the rule states. i am just mentioning it in passing. i am who i am. things are going to get mentioned from time to time. i do not see anything wrong with that. if i am wrong i am wrong. something similar happened when i first joined. the moderator had the decency to send me a private message. maybe i am in the wrong. well...we all obviously like skirts. many many people think that is wrong, especially in america. no way i can go out in my commubity. i have to go into the city. but it is perceived as wrong. but we do not care. we do it anyways. so apparently many of us are wrong here. not just me by using the b word as related to comfort.Kirbstone wrote:Those of us who have made thousands of posts here only refer to items of apparel that one can see, which includes tights, but that's as far as it goes, or should.

Careful Tom, some of us my still remember the picture you included in one of your earliest posts.Kirbstone wrote:Those of us who have made thousands of posts here only refer to items of apparel that one can see, which includes tights, but that's as far as it goes, or should.

I agree with you although I have a different view on the crossdresser thing. But I'm just irritated because it was something I mentioned. Not trying to start a discussion on it. I'm glad it's a clean site. And all he had to do was message me.moonshadow wrote:girlyboy, I don't think anyone here really wants you gone. Most people here don't consider their selves crossdressers, and to many, it seems to be an unspoken rule that underwear crosses that line. I know there are some members here that are also members on crossdressing sites. And that's fine. I think the mods are just trying to keep this site from becoming another crossdressing site. To be fair, this site is one of a kind, and that's pretty cool.
A lot of members here (myself included) are also trying to bust the stereotype that a man simply wearing a feminine skirt is a crossdresser. We are trying to project the image that you can express yourself ANYWAY you want, and still be a man. Underwear, since it's not mean't to be seen, and thus really outwardly expresses nothing, would be irrelevant to the cause.
Disclaimer: I base this comment above based on my own opinion, and what I have seemed to have gathered from reading post from others on this site, particularly, the crossdressing thread. Of course.... officially, I speak for no one other than myself. Your mileage may vary.
