I like the skirt being in pink, seems to add to the point.

I like the logo and the text is meaningfull. There could be another teeshirt saying:

Life is best enjoyed
👗
In a skirt

With DeniM's logo of course

Just make the t-shirt almost knee-length; then it can serve as a dress.

All humour aside, fashion freedom for men has little to do with catchy slogans on tee shirts.
The most powerful message that can be sent is practicing what you preach.
Sometimes the only way is defiance and sacrifice.
No pain no gain and no one will help us if we can't help ourselves.

My ideal is to put those Bible thumper's religion back in their face.

Pant's God: " I saith unto you, go out curse men who wear clothing other than pants and those who support them."

Congregation went out and curse them, and Jehovah sent the congregation to hell for cursing his holy name.

Now only try to phase it with shorter words without losing meaning to make it worth to put on t-shirt.
Emphasis isn't about what you believe, rather what the other person believes. There is those today who preaches women will go to hell for wearing pants.

Stevie is 100 percent right on!! T-shirts will not accomplish anything.

There is no magic formula, no certainty about what will "work".
However, there is one absolute certainty, tee-shirt logos, whinging and moaning about the difficulties men face will achieve nothing at all.

Of course there's a magic fomula Steve. Just get on with it.

Trouble is men are not prepared to stick their necks out. Instead they prefer to hide behind macho pointing and laughing at those who are. No gumption.

Btw i think the tee shirts are a good idea, mind you it's pointless if you wear logo tee shirt with trousers. That way when people see you in your skirt and logo tee shirt they wont think you are gay or trans.

But it draws attention to the idea that men wearing a skirt NEEDS to be explained. It doesn't. And men just need to get over these hangups. Take a hint from Nike and Just Do It™, wear the dang skirt.

If you don’t want to be seen as trans or gay why not just grow a beard or even just a small goaty beard.
My name is Arty. I’m a guy with a passion for wearing skirts, dresses and tights and a hobbiest musician and artist. 8)

You are right it doesn't need to be explained Coder. I saw something on the web were a lady said "he's wearing a womens blouse" another women chipped in and said "says who? You?".
People make assumptions, I think a motive tee shirt would help some understand and some men to make the leap. I dont need to wear motive tee shirt and neither do you. But we are not everyone, some need a little help. Something to catch the eye and make the onlooker think differently.
I have an idea. Maybe we wear a plain tee with a skirt with:
"Don't knock it 'till you've tried it"

Coder this is the best advice. We don't need any excuses or anything that explains why we wear skirts. We just need to do it just like when women started wearing pants. It is no different.

But why? You can't control how other people perceive you anyway. It doesn't matter.
