A couple of years ago, I moved from the "woke" state of Washington to the extremely "red" state of South Dakota. I had been advised / warned that I would find things difficult in S.D. because of the conservative politics. I wasn't worried and my experiences have borne that non-wo...

Here's part of my take on this. First, if you can pass perfectly (and I have known some who could), then use the women's room. Since by hypothesis, you can perfectly pass, no one is going to know unless you reveal it yourself. OTOH, I saw a young man in Redmond, WA public library coming out of the w...

Unless I'm much mistaken, the responses in this thread are extrapolating from a couple of individuals to stereotyping a huge group of people and *judging* them. Isn't that the type of behaviour that we are trying to avoid being on the receiving end of? Actually, I would assume that the responses in...

From the start, I just accepted that skirts don't have pockets. That's why women carry purses, right? My solution is that I purchased an I-Pad carrier. I don't have an I-Pad, but the accessory works very well to serve all my carry needs: wallet, phone, keys, pen, small writing pad, coin purse, and a...

Hello, everyone! I’ve loved skirts since I was 12 and I’ve worn them since I was 18. I’m here hoping to meet like minded people. Interests: computers, languages, making music, and try g out new things. So now there are at least 2 South Dakotans - me being the other one. I'm from central S.D., Huron...

They had their own reasons. For schoolgirls in my era, Mouse's and probably today, it was to make them fashionably and eye catchingly short. To accommodate the stoma Hayseed, have you considered loose fitting dresses. I have had major abdominal surgery which did not necessitate a stoma but in the p...

They had their own reasons. In my case, it was a "medical necessity". Not to mention it saved a ton of work re-hemming the skirts!

I'm guessing most folks on this forum know what it means to roll a skirt. Just in case some don't, it means to "roll" the waist over and down so as to shorten the apparent length of the skirt. Why is this relevant? Well, for me, I have a bunch of straight, knee length skirts. Well, they we...

I'm not sure whether the "sighting" I saw yesterday at the public library counts or not. Anyway, an Hispanic man, about 30 y.o., came in wearing what I think is called a shirtdress, pink with small flower patterns on it. It extended down well past the waist to about mid-thigh or an inch or...

Around here about 10% of women will wear a skirt/dress as casual clothing most days, maybe upwards 30% when the weather is nice(and lower ofc when its -20°c and a Blizzard raging). Mostly from counting people at the mall or patients at work so not as representative as on public transit in a big cit...

Keep in mind that what I was saying was not that the majority of people you see wearing skirts in public are men. Sorry Hayseed, not where I live, I still see more females than males in skirts any day. Bear in mind too that I live in the Land of Men in Skirts. Behind closed doors, I'd reckon on a h...

Keep in mind that what I was saying was not that the majority of people you see wearing skirts in public are men. Just that the majority of folks who wear a skirt on most any day are men. It's just that they are not wearing them openly, i.e., in public. In other words, ask the question of a random s...

I play a game when I get on a tube train along your line of thinking. Quite often there are more skirted men in the carriage than skirted women, the score being 1 - 0. Wintertime, I almost always win, summer, depending on the sun, not so much. Yes, the score is usually 1-0 wherever I go as well. Bu...

Here's a subversive thought. On any given day, only about one-half of one percent of women will be wearing a skirt or dress (apart from those few who are "expected / required" to wear such attire). This can be easily verified by simply looking around. Now, the question is; on such a given ...

I like the look of your skirt. Where did you get it from? Is the skirt a particular copy of a 1800 skirt? All my long skirts have just been bought from Amazon and probably made in China, the petticoats as well. None of them have been that expensive and certainly none have been historically accurate...
