I think you are misreading. The issue for some is not that skirts imply femininity, homosexuality, or deviancy, but that young people who are questioning their gender identity do *not* seem naturally to regard wearing skirts as a part of that. (And why should they, since many of the girls wear jeans...

Naive question: why is a geosynchronous orbit of any importance? It seems of no particular relevance to lunar travel, and it's not a "fixed" point relative to anything in space. Would a Lagrange point be of benefit? Though that would be a long way out.

My elder son announced that he was non-binary when he was about 16 and a half, and started growing his hair long. We spoke to the school, and he experimented with wearing a skirt in school and using a non-gendered bathroom. But he was not bothered about pronouns, and kept the same teenager hoodie an...

I climbed Dun I on the island of Iona with a pilgrimage group, wearing my full weight tartan kilt. There was a gust of wind as we neared the summit, and the vicar behind me got the full benefit of my choice of underwear.

Even now, when on formal parades, or at events involving dancing, underwear is required by the regulations .

At the time the kilt was adopted for Scottish soldiers in British regiments (usually with the Government tartan now known as "Black Watch"), underwear was not really worn under either kilts or breeches, so there was no need for an "order" to "go commando" (or as kilt-we...

... what amazed me was all the women making positive comments on it. That is a great dress: I would love to wear that kind of thing. I did order a strapless dress from Thrift+ once, but they really do need serious adaptation to the boobless figure. I had concluded that a halter neck might work best...

A Karen Millen zip front sleeveless black real leather midi dress. It’s a gorgeous dress that gives that “wow” feeling. I teamed it with 4” block heel knee boots.

Sounds enviable!

I have occasionally seen explicit age limits for cross-sex loos or changing rooms: the one I remember stated 7 as the oldest child allowed in the "other" changing room with a parent.

Drat! Went to check their website, discovered a sale, and now I've gone and bought another skirt!

I wore a dress to practice with the church music group and got no comment. (It is a very plain black knee-length dress, sleeveless and worn over a long-sleeved t-shirt, with a thick knitted cardigan on top.) On Sunday I'm planning to wear a near-ankle-length skirt in a dark tartan-like check. (Bough...

For me, the kilt was a huge part of gaining confidence in wearing what I liked. It was a socially acceptable way of wearing a skirt, and I started in my mid 20s. I later branched out into plain coloured kilts. It was decades before I realised that society was allowing me to wear skirts only of one p...

In Scotland, pleating to the stripe is reserved mainly for military kilts. Civilian kilts are generally pleated to continue the sett.

I love the poem, even though I can't tell the connotations of all the words and images in the original.

I have noticed that if I'm feeling down, I haven't the inner confidence that I need to go out in a skirt, and I resort to trousers.
