That's nuts. No argument on that score, but it is "legally" nuts. Trying to evade conscription "Klinger" style in these places could easily get you executed and given the state of the world right now, levity may not be the most appropriate approach. Thing is, I'm speculating but...

The list of "allowed" modes would be an awful lot easier to compile.

I'm curious to ask where in the world is a man wearing a skirt a capital offence? Is it the garment itself which creates the legal jeopardy or other factors? I hope this clarifies my point Stu. On a side note, women in these countries would be no better off either. "The severest penalties for ...

I hope I've made a difference to at least one person who was where I was a few years ago. If not, I'm still out there being myself I am 69 years old. So I remember the world when that fellow was a small boy. Being out and about as your own true self is the biggest difference that any one of us can ...

Please note that I am not basing this thread on any specific nation or ideology, so if it is political, it will be in the broadest possible sense. There are places in this world where wearing a skirt as a guy is illegal to the point of being a capital offence. There are places where one can wear wha...

This is out and about in the raw. Local shopping mall yesterday, and I spotted a lone man wearing a dress. I had to talk to him, even if it was only to find out if he knew about or was a cafe patron. Turned out he hadn't heard of us and we had quite a chat. Cut to the chase, he is straight, celibate...

I think that we really have to get Susie's input on this one.
She has told me that she has no wish for me to go "En Drab" , for which I am most thankful.

This is a tale of two reactions. On a bus, two young people expressed liking for my outfit, office, smart casual, but remarked on the incongruity of my rucksack. Explained, work attire, work accessory. Then in a less salubrious part of town, a guy, age unknown and clearly under "influences"...

Perhaps other posters could contribute their memories of Carl here. People only really die when nobody says their name anymore. Great thinking BM, I had forgotten "Scot the Bot", as some folks behind the scenes christened him. Carl had strong opinions, but he also had great respect for th...

Sad though we are at this time of Carl's passing. Let us not forget that he has also left us as custodians of The Skirt Cafe. I am perfectly sure that his wish will be for us to continue with all the principals that he worked so hard to uphold in his own lifetime. All the postings, ideas, photos and...

A passing of a true human.
Let's be glad that he touched our lives in so many ways and be glad for the peace he has now found.
Steve.

BM: It is not only the skirt -- it is the whole man-box thing: Most men are afraid of their shadow --if it is not an approved macho shadow! Much more frightening is they won't express emotions other than hate, anger, and rage (approved man-box) but empathy, sadness, tears -- God forbid they might b...

Seb, I was always taught that Sweden and the Swedish people were amongst the most tolerant and liberal in Europe. You paint a different picture and it's disappointing. There will always be hope for the future and your colleague and her children prove that. Perhaps one day soon you will be able to re...

Let us on this site, build each other up, for each of us to wear the clothes we each want to wear. These will be radically different for each of us, but the fact that they are different, shows us that we are free to choose to be different. Agreed Mouse, but the "Kilt" comes with a special...
