The definition of Crossdressing...
Crossdressing is what the Altar Guild does in a church right around Christmas, Easter, and other religious holidays...
I realized this yesterday at work. I spend a lot of time in churches due to my profession [pipe organ technician]

Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
I was thinking about a "short-and-sweet" definition of crossdressing and that was the first thing I thought about. Being bored at work has it's advantages... sometimes!Ralph wrote:Hah! It took me a minute to get that

Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
Pfft! Labels aren't worth my time. When I wear a skirt, I'm just wearing clothes, nothing more, nothing less.
I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman.

I would watch that "nothing less" position it could mean trouble more so than 'nothing more' ! LOL !
Remember what happened with the Emperor's New Clothing ?
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
Easy, if you are dressed like a crussader or a monk, as long as you have some stylish cross on your garment, that's crossdressing. The cross is the dressing of the garment. A nazi general engaged in crossdressing too, since the swastika resembles some kinda cross. Skirts made of Bubblegum pink latex with a cross as dressing would also meet the definition. Mid-calf lengh and you can meet the pope in it. He could reject you for an abomination, if he'd like to.

Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
Thank you kdm,
For on that site down near the bottom was a link to an article entitled "8 signs you're in a controlling relationship". It describes what is going on in the relationship with MOH perfectly. Now all I need to do is get that across to her if we are to save what we have. The trouble is that dominance, the handing over of control a little at a time and the erosion of self can happen gradually over time without one realising it. The fact that I have been unemployed for nearly two years has not helped my sense of confidence, identity or worth.
There may be light at the end of the tunnel yet.

I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
Interesting yet quick read. Thanks. Of course no mention was made (rarely is, anywhere) as to why if a man wears "traditionally female" clothes, the act gets called "cross-dressing" - a moniker with decidedly negative connotation, while women can wear whatever they want, from either gender's catalog, with no one saying a word or even batting an eye at it? Quite the double standard, I'd think.kidme wrote:Just came across this article, on androgyny fashion.

No shirt, no shoes, no pants, no gods. No worries!

Pity she still refers to them as "women’s clothes".kidme wrote:Just came across this article, on androgyny fashion.

If I buy or make a skirt or dress it is not a woman's - it is mine, and I am a man (therefore the skirt or dress is a man's)
Re: The definition of Crossdressing...
What other word or phrase would be as recognizably nominative of the set of garments being referred to here? As much as we or anyone else might abhor the term, which certainly no longer applies in the specific case, I'm not sure I see a better and (near-)equally usable term for the general case, as seems to be the use case in the article.pleated wrote:Pity she still refers to them as "women’s clothes".

kidme: Thanks for posting this article. A few more like this can't hurt us, and I'm sure they will come with time.
