Re: A beautiful skirt

remove the mesh You mean the built-in-slip? Just a small advisory - if you wear any kind of legwear having the built-in slip is much nicer than an add-on. And in fact... yesterday I wore a slip WITH my lined skirt and tights. I don't know why I've never tried it before - but no cling! I usually onl...

Re: Pretty Skirts?

I'll get over that, or I won't, either way I still wear a skirt every day. That is the most important thing. You should always wear what you are comfortable wearing. This is real life and not a competition to see who can be the most daring in what they wear. Yes - for sure! Mental and physical comf...

Re: What a child sees in a famous work of art

Sorry if I am strange, but these days when I see an image, my brain starts taking it apart, what am I suppose to see, what am I being sold? So, I did a bit more digging and an image search, I believe the original is an AI picture creating site here Yeah... I got "AI-uncanny valley" vibes ...

Well, right there is your problem. I firmly believe psychology - while useful tool for helping individuals - is made up of a lot of BS.

Re: Dress, body and experiences of victimization

When people smirks, make a fawn face and even the smile, I believe people are sexualizing us and our clothing. Through this sexualization I believe they are cataloging us being queer instead a straight male who likes to make his own fashion. I'd hope not! To me smirks are repressing a laugh or show...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day

Wasn't my idea Coder! I know, sorry my reply didn't look that way (I wondered if I should have clarified). I was agreeing with your sentiment. I know the effort involved to bring a group of MIS together in one place , it is damn near impossible! Never mind twenty, twelve or so guys in skirts in one...

Re: International Men Can Wear Dresses Day

That experience merely establishes my credentials for being realistic about pressure groups, flash mobs all the other fanciful notions which have been floated on this thread. It would be quite an undertaking to convince a goodly amount of people to form a flash mob... plus it would be weird -> what...

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"

Imagine a world without beauty, without empathy, and without compassion exist -- for that's where we seem to be going. And it hurts -- at least for this old boy -- to see those go. And I think that's what we have to all question: why are those things considered feminine? And if they are intrinsical...

Re: Doing away with "Embracing feminity"

When I put on a dress and heels, along with nail varnish and makeup, I don't embrace femininity. Likewise when I cook or sew, I don't embrace femininity. I think the bigger problem is people associate those things with femininity - when really they ought not to. For a while, now, I have increasingl...

"coin purse" They aren't seen as feminine.
Yes - or “change purse”.

Re: Don't worry, most people know we're not trans

I need to go to one of these college campuses where some right wing YouTube influencer sets up some interview table to debate libs. I'd love for one to ask me "so do you think you're a woman?" "No". "Oh, then what do you identify as then?" "I identify as me, a hum...

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

I think a small part of you is beginning to like the attention. I'm sort of introverted - which is why standing out from the crowd is the last thing I want. Yet at the same time, I don't like anything conventional, so am stuck really in a place that is never happy. I'm a maximalist at heart, even i...

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

Today after work I had to run some errands, and at one place the cashier shouted at me "I love your purse". I was a bit taken aback, and she apologized when she realized she had left me speechless. Obviously I told her not to worry, and continued my shopping. While I don't care what people...
