Re: Does anyone assume you are transgender?

A random thought has occurred to me.
My soon to be ex-wife does.

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

I find it odd that few people on here seem to recognise that Gen Z and Alpha completely ignore gender norms - they consider them to be irrelevant nonsense. Do they really, all of them regardless of race, creed or colour? What evidence do you have for that assertion? Steve. NB it's a question not an...

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

High return rates illustrate that it doesn’t work. Combined with changing social attitudes from Gen Z and Alpha, I firmly believe change is coming quickly. High return rates are largely due to fickle purchasing not gender binary and sizing. ASOS, "As Seen On Screen", except it looks very ...

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

It is Utilikilts out of Seattle that has 2 millions of dollars of sells annually. That brand is well mention here on skirtcafe. As much I can gather from internet New York City where they have a very large customer base they ship to. Utilikilts are completely gender exclusive, a macho product aimed...

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

Who is likely to be next? ASOS would be my top choice. I’d also watch Zara and H&M. So would I, Zara and H&M have already tried it and withdrew. Not so sure about ASOS. We'll see, but like I said, don't hold your breath. Steve. PS did you create that post by yourself or did you have AI assi...

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

That combination is what accelerates change. Urban Outfitters hasn’t fully delivered inclusive sizing, but by introducing “Everyone” they’ve publicly revealed a commercial opportunity in gender-inclusive fashion. That signal is likely to push other retailers further than Urban itself has gone. Only...

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

I agree with STEVIE it's all about money why they choose to go inclusive. They must have seen there is enough sales to make it profitable from this niche market of MIS. Not quite Mr S. Urban Outfitters have just tagged a category onto their existing offer. Any investment is minimal and on the back ...

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

Tee Hee, talk about being fluid, I was misgendered today and I wasn't even standing up.
Partaking in a nice coffee, the cafe was very busy and got jostled by an older man.
"Sorry dear", he says then OOPS!
Twas my flowing silvery locks wot caused his error, hey ho, it made me smile.

Re: Urban has gone gender inclusive

I am making no reference to any post on this thread, except my own, "it will make no difference". Regardless of "gender inclusion" initiatives, this one by Urban Outfitters, is not the first and likely not the last. It is not being done for any reason other than money, a way of i...

Or none at all. Because as a man, that's what you'll find you get. Every. Time.
I guess freedom is a double edged sword.
I have earned mine and intend to enjoy it to the fullest possible degree.

Wow BM, what a question!
Of course the answer is, yes dear of course you may.
Just as long you wear what's appropriate and normal and doesn't embarrass me etc etc etc.
Take all the freedom that you wish!

Re: “Just normal variations…”

Back in the stone age when I was but a nipper, I wanted to wear girl clothes. Did I want to be a girl, I didn't know that was even possible. As a pre-teen in the late 60s, I wanted to wear girl clothes. Did I want to be a girl, still unaware of the possibility. 1970s and hormonally rampant, I wanted...

Welcome back Fred

Pretty sure that a lot of us around here to welcome back our Fred in Skirts.
I know that when a certain lady member becomes aware that she most certainly will.
From me personally though, I am very glad and we will hope to hear even more from Fred in the future.

Re: jury duty

I said previously that I had worn trousers when called in 2016 and, ten years later, I'd do the same. Not because of fear of censure but simply not to be the focus of attention. In 21 it never occurred to me that there could be a major difference between the United States and the U.K. With respect t...
