Re: Skirt from a tablecloth?

It's 70" in diameter? I should be able to fold it a few times to get the precise center. Fold it in quarters (halve it, then halve that) and the resultant "point" will be the precise centre. Mark that, as that'll be your starting point. Get the slip-stick (or a calculator) and figure...

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

The word purse was used to describe a bag that a person carried long before and gender connotations were ascribed to it. There we go. Imagine that ! Hilariously my late ex actually crocheted me a bag from household twine many years ago and which I still occasionally carry. I'm not "bag averse&...

Re: Skirt from a tablecloth?

Anyone attempt this or see any tutorials (a bit too busy to go down that Google/YouTube rabbit hole)? Found a vintage 70's circle tablecloth and am mulling over the possibility. It's absolutely possible, but depending on the diameter of the tablecloth (which will define the hem length) it may be so...

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

I had to wear long trousers in the evening for dinner because the hotel manager enforces his ‘Men have to wear long trousers for dinner’ or you get stopped from going in the restaurant. Out of curiosity, does he also enforce a skirts/dresses only for the women? If not, tell Basil to "shove it&...

Jamie, I would advise you to rewrite the above without the hate-speech. You are on very, very thin ice.

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

Gender disphoria is no joke as I have been afflicted to some extent, and I would not wish that on my worse enemy. Trust me on this one, I am not slagging off on the folks who suffer from that; it's a devastating condition. However, constantly whinging about it and parroting rad-fem dogma is certain...

There is precisely nowt wrong with that choice -- it's down to personal preference and modest. No issues whatsoever.

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

Maybe so, but wouldn’t it be nice to get a beautiful girl body? When people do past life regressions, they have different past lives and male and also female. That's not the way the mythology works. According to the gospel one is "reunited with his old body, scars, wounds, &c still intact&...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

The body is gone, when the "person" (spirit) acends to heaven, how is gender determined? The gender of the spirit, or soul? I would suspect it would track, fairly closely, what the person was (in corporeal form) before dying. Thus, it would be an aggregation of traits in varying intensiti...

[rad-fem hate-speed redacted] definitely does exist and is how the patriarchy enforces control over men and women. Once again, guys, let's refrain from using hate-speech in this context, because we are doing ourselves no favours whatsoever in offering live ammunition to the enemy. In no way, shape,...

Re: What have you discovered through wearing skirts and dresses?

I read an article some time ago in which the author asserted that women view men in skirts and dresses as less threatening than men dressed in traditional attire. Your observation is the only firsthand verification that I have come across. I pretty much accepted the author's theory since I wasn't i...

Re: The boundary between skirt wearer and TV

Crossdressing is wearing something because it is intended for the opposite sex - it is an identifier and an intentional signal that the wearer wishes to be associated with the opposite sex. In the purest sense, that's correct, but in practise the term is used as a cudgel to beat on men. Women are e...

Re: The boundary between skirt wearer and TV

Since most of us wear skirts, we are crossdressers. When women wear men's items, they are also crossdressers. Except that culturally women are not , and that's where the logic breaks down. Women can wear any damn thing they want and nobody bats an eyelash. But heaven forbid a man don a skirt. Men a...
