My one regret is that I'd have been in the same situation nigh on 60 years ago. Nothing has changed. No, nothing has really -- and that's what pains me. I witnessed the progress that was made in the '60s and the '70s on this front, and saw it all snatched away in the rightward lurch that convulsed ...

Fact is she is right, he'd have set himself up as a prime target for all kinds of abusive bullying. Of course she is, and we all know that from hard experience. We also know that it's not going to get better with time, so unless we steel ourselves for he treatment we will receive (likely a life of ...

So males can't wear skirts because they fear being ostracised. Females are choosing to not wear skirts because they prefer jeans/trousers/leggings. The way things are going, the only people who will be wearing skirts are trans girls/women. If that sentiment "wins" "in the wild" ...

My comment was only that millions of pictures get taken and posted in various places everyday -- but none of those stick in your mind the way your memory keeps a picture of something you have seen yourself. Thus, your own getting out in your skirts and outfits will be a lot more memorable to people...

And I as well, at least some of the time. I've put too much time, money, effort, and credibility into this to just throw it all aside.

In short, I'm not going down without a fight.

Well I raised my son to wear skirts if he wants to. He wanted to and he did for a while but senior school came along and my daughter told him if he wore a skirt to school then he would attract attention. He asked if any boys wore skirts and she said yes but they are trans. He said then he would jus...

All in all, that's pretty good news Steve. Well done. I'm happy for you.

There ARE parents that reject the current social situation. These are the folks who might even more work on finding ways of visibly rejecting oppressive structures. I don't doubt it for a moment, but I'll assert that there will be spots where they don't dare to express that opposition publicly or e...

A whole new batch of "rules"? No, wisdom passed down over the years from one's ancestors (in the case of female-to-male, mostly accidental). If you like "underwear as outerwear" as a fashion statement (It's been done before in the 1980s), go for it. I happen to think it looks ta...

When my daughter was in marching band, the girls had to wear beige underneath the white uniform pants. Supposedly white-under-white shows through but beige-under-white does not? My slips are all beige (ivory) or black. As for length, I like it to end a few inches above the hem so it doesn't show. Y...

Children's clothes would be basically the same ie boys can very well wear the same as girls, so it's mainly symbolic. Correct. The pre-pubescent male and female forms are large indistinguishable and hence be discounted in fit terms. Where it matters is with the parents and how closed-minded they ar...

This sort of idiocy is one of the reasons that our society is headed straight down the loo at this point in time. So it's got pink in it. So bloody what? Are dreams "masculine" or "feminine"? How do we police those? [0] Does it matter that pink was at one point a boy's colour bei...

Slips are just about surviving, as many High Street shops didn’t seem to know whether to stock them or not in recent years and where they did stock them , they reduced the amount of lace in the hem. M and S in particular. Slips will, in all likelihood, soldier on until the skirt is entirely obsolet...

Slips are one of the truly functional parts of a woman's wardrobe -- and very simple, too. It's just a swath of fabric designed to be "slippery" and to control friction between other layers. Heavier ones can be deployed for a little bit of extra warmth, but the lighter-weight ones are simp...

And that's what the world needs now. Desperately. "A sensible approach."
