Moonshadow, I agree. This is an awkward conversation nobody wants.moonshadow wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 1:35 pm Feel free to follow your gut instinct on this, you know these people, I don't, but my initial reaction is: If you're not going to wear skirts around the scouts anyway, then I see no reason to have this awkward "coming out" conversation. I think I'd just leave it alone. If they see you out and about, and especially if you've followed my earlier advice and kept it masculine and conservative, then just play it down like it's no big deal. Because really, it doesn't have to be [a big deal].
I keep it masculine anyway I wear knee length skirts with shirts, tees, socks, shoes or boots. My wife is ok with it, she says she has more courage to wear skirts herself, my boys ask questions and tease me. My daughter is my biggest proponent..
It took a big leap of faith and all my courage to come this far. I am so pleased I can do what I do with my family on board after so many years looking on. I don't want to ruin it now.
I've just bought a beautiful full length, green, tarten(ish), silk skirt with a small black crochet at the hem. I can't wait to see it. If it works I'll wear it to pride with my daughter in Brighton with a white tee and dm's.
