Re: Where will we be in say... ten years?

I don't think skirts for men will ever be normalized in Western society, and truthfully, I really don't care. As long as it's not criminalized I'll be just fine. :) I would second that. I think if you look at how many women wear skirts, the most men you are ever going to get to wear skirts is the s...

That is quite a look with the bare mid section. No reason not to, I just don’t have the confidence …

There are members from most corners of the world, I am from the UK, but there are many members in your part of the world. If you post a couple more tim...

Re: Trousers, Women have more....

That’s got to be the world famous Forth Bridge which is also my favourite bridge in the world. I remember as a kid the highlight of visiting Edinburgh was crossing the Forth Bridge which has fascinated me since I was a child. At the moment I am doing printing designs based on the Forth Bridge Anywa...

Re: Trousers, Women have more....

The only problem is having the guts to wear what I want to wear in public without getting ridiculed. I have only gone out twice wearing a skirt without a long trench coat hiding it and so far so good but I feel that there will be setbacks from narrow minded idiots laughing at me or showing disgust....

Re: Mississipi School Discriminate Transgender Girl

I am speaking for the seven or so year old me here, and maybe it is more representative than you may think. Yes, I should have been able to demand that I was addressed and treated as a girl. The sad bloody fact is that I was too scared to ask nicely and suffered the consequences. Steve. The time we...

Re: So my wife got me a handbag for Christmas….

So I am out on a shopping trip with my daughter, me with my black bag, daughter in jeans. Daughter has her glasses case with her, since part of the trip is to the optician. Daughter looks at me as we get to the shopping centre, “Can I put my stuff in your bag?” We both thought this was a huge laugh!...

Re: New Adventure begins

So, I am old and easily confused and have probably not been paying enough attention...... Last year you moved from Virginia to Washington. This year you are moving back, but maybe in a year or two....... :D It is good to be free and move when you want to move. I hope you are both happy and things wo...

Re: Mississipi School Discriminate Transgender Girl

What is amiss is, WHY is it only daughters :?: Shouldn't sons be taught how their bodies work too :?: You are totally correct. However a boy tends to workout many of the nuts and bolts of his equipment as it is there to see. Where as, a girl's equipment is mainly internal and hidden. In addition, i...

I like his hat... A quick search for him on line goes quiet just after 2021 when this article dropped. However he is on LinkedIn where you can see his history. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastiaan-vermeulen/details/experience/ In 2021 he was coming to the end of his PHD (Dr) studies, so he was a s...

Re: Mississipi School Discriminate Transgender Girl

I agree that in a perfect world, parents should be in the loop. However where you get parents who think their daughter should not know how her own body works, until she is married or not ever. IMHO the state needs to step in and give basic human knowledge to all young people. In the UK this is not ...

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"

The problem here is that the definitions of "masculine" and "feminine" have been being changed over time, and that has resulted in the range of traits/behaviours considered "acceptable"/"normal" for men has been shrunk dramatically over what it was a few deca...
