I've gotten that same question and produced pretty much the same answer.
I'd also say that it's doable by them too, and then describe how I got to being able to wear them all day without pain.

Re: Gender Non-Conformance and Religion
Kingfish, this is none the less a claim to know the will of a god, whose very existence is debatable. You wore the kilt as opposed to the preferred prairie skirt as a mark of respect to the "environment". Respect for your God or the other human worshippers, if I may ask? I am not challeng...

Re: Gender Non-Conformance and Religion
I am the great grandson of a southern baptist preacher, and have the following observations regarding my skirt wearing in the remarkably conservative region of Armstrong County TX, and also a mind-blower that happened one morning watching one of the 5am religious shows. First my parent's reaction wh...

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
But beside that we have a very big culture of not taking to strangers, no comments, compliments or even small talk, even with your neighbours. Of course people loose their inhibitions when they drink and they say the nasty things they think and just excuse it the day after with a laugh and "I ...

Re: Kris' Atrium
Back about 25 years ago I remember reading in on one of the networking newsgroups that as bandwidth becomes cheaper it will reach a point where voice will be free as it will no longer be worth the billing effort. My how far we have come. Back in the 90s I took a course on T1 connections. The instru...

Re: Kris' Atrium
I also remember The Atrium. With its closure, the passing of Tom, and the presence of X Marks The Scot have brought about a slight change of focus here. The whole "Bravehearts Vs Freestylers" business is completely gone. And I have to credit the tireless efforts of Carl in keeping this pla...

Re: Experience in the Loo
Around my part(s) it's not uncommon to see children being escorted/chaperoned to the loo reserved for the sex of that adult. My mother did the same with me until I was old enough to go into the men's room and "take care of business" on my own. And that was in the 1970s

Re: Sightings "in the wild"
It's not often you run into a kindred soul. Today I did and have photographic proof. He and his significant other were out at my local Market Basket, and she shot this picture of the two of us. I'm the one in the constellation themed sweatshirt and svaha skirt.

Re: How short is too short?
My personal comfort level starts getting eroded at around the 16" length, or about halfway to the knee. For my wife (on me) the limit is about a couple inches above the knee. Maybe I shouldn't have intentionally picked something off the floor by bending at the waist in one of my 16" skirts...

Re: Being fired for not conforming to masculine stereotypes
No, it's not about pronouns. It's about not tolerating anything that challenges the rich, "white", heterosexual male hedgemony. Trans people are just convenient punching bags, because it's easy to "other" them. If trans people were to disappear overnight, these sticks-in-the-mud...

Re: Being fired for not conforming to masculine stereotypes
About 25 some-odd years ago, I remember reading about a truck driver who got spotted by his company cross-dressing during his off-time (around where he lives), getting fired for it, suing for wrongful termination, and losing. We've come quite a way from those days. Unfortunately, I think that the wh...

Re: New Technologies
Fiction in 1953 is fact in 2025 :D More like 1945. In Robert Heinlein's book "Space Cadet", the main protagonist talks to his father on a phone that was in his pouch. I wonder if the timing of that book might actually hit the mark. It's set 50 years from now, and considering the progress ...

Re: Software making hardware redundant rant!
I doubt Sonos will ever publish their APIs. It would directly facilitate knock-off development. There may be hackers out there who manage to reverse engineer it, but of course those apps will be insufferably kludgy. What you're probably going to see is the Auracast standard get leveraged to replace ...

Re: New Technologies
1974 is roughly the same time I had my first computer experiences. Dad worked for Honeywell's information systems division, and to encourage me to learn my addition tables, had written a program to present addition problems for me to do and tell me if I got it right. The reward came in that after th...
