Re: Army rules for ponytails and nail color

I was a combat infantryman in Vietnam and we were required to shave every day and have regular haircuts-even though we were in the jungle. The rationale was that the enemy troops would think that we were “fresh” troops and not a bunch of rag-tag soldiers and thus they would be reluctant to start a f...

Re: Wearing a Dress in Public Today

Just to clear things up about my wearing a dress to my shared work space during Pride month. I have been going there for about five years. I sometimes wear a skirt or skort and no one has ever noticed. Everyone there knows that I am a straight married combat veteran of the Vietnam war. I wore that d...

Re: Wearing a Dress in Public Today

I wore a dress to work one day in June to celebrate Pride month. I don't usually wear dresses but it seemed like a good opportunity. This is at a shared work space and the owner pictured with me posted the photo, with my permission, on the company web site, Facebook, and Instagram. All the comments ...

Re: Wearing A Lady 's Trousers

I have found that the Gloria Vanderbilt "Amanda" style women's jeans fit perfectly and they have reasonably deep pockets - much deeper than Levi's women's jeans. They can be found in the US at Kohl's department stores.

Re: Out and About -- In the World at Large

I live in an upscale neighborhood with a lot of middle-age and senior neighbors. Everyone knows me, some have seen me in a skirt or skort, nobody seems to care. Every morning I drive to my local donut shop and get a cup of coffee which I bring back home and start my morning routine - email, work, et...

Re: Where did you first get the idea to wear a skirt?

Long-time crossdresser finally realized I just like the look, fit, and feel of skirts. I don't want to look female or even feminine - and probably couldn't if I tried. Which I have, but that's another story not so appropriate to this forum. I prefer skorts even though I know there is divided opinion...
