Greetings from NL
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2020 9:42 pm
So I saw the post by mishawakaskirt, but I was already thinking of introducing myself here. Been a member for a while but wasn't really reading because I just couldn't get the hang of phpBB. Eventually I googled for instructions and now I can actually follow threads sensibly.
I actually started out a very long time ago as crossdresser, but mostly being attracted to skirts. Everything else was interesting, but skirts, they were The Thing. (Well, and one-piece swimsuits). I've been active on the /r/crossdressing reddit for quite a while and it was quite a nice channel, but a little while back Tumblr expelled all the crossdressers (amongst other things) and many came to reddit. So there are now lots of pictures, and not so much text. And in the meantime I realised that I don't want to look like a women, I just like the clothes, especially skirts. And I stumbled onto SkirtCafe, which has more text and less pictures.
Lockdown has been great, in the sense that I can spend a lot more time in a skirt due to working at home. I never did the kilt step, they'd be out of place here anyway. I just go to the racks at the local thrift store and buy anything I think looks ok. And recently I've been working on dresses, which are basically the next best thing to wearing nothing at all. I despaired of finding anything that would fit my frame, but I think I'm getting somewhere now.
I have been skirted in public and in a dress too, mostly to get used to it, I can handle more people now. The problem mainly I have to do it by myself. My SO accepts it but does not support it (yet, I'm hopeful). And going for a walk on the beach in a sundress just isn't the same all by yourself. I know there must be more of us here in NL but I never see them. The male students that that walk around for a day in a ballerina costume as an exercise don't count.
Looking forward to some more interesting discussions about how to make MIS more mainstream.
Anyway, obligatory pictures, this is one of my current favourites: https://imgur.com/a/9YhPnA2
I think it looks good on me, but I never considered myself a good judge of these things.
