My partner is lurking around here somewhere, he says he'll register one day soon. But I'm more the joiner type so I've launched right in.
I'm a dedicated cross-dressing female (who had to fight for the right to wear slacks), and pretty much wouldn't be caught dead in a skirt (until b/f re-introduced me to them). I still don't find skirts comfortable, but support your right to wear them.
But then I've always been comfortable rejecting societies norms (I lived as a lesbian for 10 years, not really sure why I'm with a guy now, but it works).
That's not to say I wasn't a little taken back when I found out he wore skirts (this was just before we started dating 4 years ago), but he talked about it openly and I didn't ever feel it appropriate to say no to him (not when I realised my only objections were "what will other people think" and "what about children").
For the first point - once I recognised what it was, I dismissed it - I try hard not to care what "people" think. For the second, well, I'm rapidly approaching the age where children will no longer be possible, so I guess that one will never have to be dealt with
- Although I would be interested in hearing how others handle this. Children are so much more sensitive to societies pressures.Enough from me - I'm looking forward to reading more forum topics, and will offer up comments and thoughts as and when I can.

) Artemis, you're more than welcome. A diversity of views and opinions is more than welcome, so tell your guy (bloke) to come right in alongside you. A few more supportive ladies on the forum will just make us a more civilised community
