Hello, new to this forum

Hello, everyone. I am a 26 year old man from New York. I am happily married to the girl of my dreams and life is great. I identify myself as a cis-male, straight, and unquestioning in my sexual orientation.
Well, what can I say about myself besides the obvious? The reason why I’m here, and assuming the reason why everyone else registered on this website. I like to wear skirts. It’s been a fascination of mine for as long as I can remember. Ever since preschool and kindergarten, I would wonder why girls would sometimes wear shorts with no leg holes, and I would wonder even more why boys never got to wear them, and why my parents would never buy one for me. The untroubled mind of the innocent, right? But as I got older, it became much deeper than questioning, and I began experimenting. And by “experimenting”, I mean I was a hormonal, prepubescent boy with access to the internet and we’ll leave it at that.
I don’t consider myself a “sissy” or a “trap”, which in my opinion sound like pretty offensive words to call crossdressers. My interest isn’t in the form of making my exterior image as feminine as possible while being genetically male, which if yours is then that’s perfectly fine in being who you are and who you want to be as long as it makes you happy. Would I ever want to try it? Never say never, but I don’t see myself as that type of person. I can totally understand why it is such taboo for men to do anything that remotely challenges gender norms set by society. When women do it, it’s considered empowerment and encouraging. When men do it, it’s gay and belittling and he’s “not a real man”. Where is the equality in that? Without getting too political, I believe that every man and every woman of every skin color, every religion, every sexual orientation, every ethnicity, every race are equal, created equal, and should coexist as equals. No, I’m not running for Mr. Ms. America, I believe that if we were truly as equal as we claim to be, that I could continue typing this very post as I walk down the street in my pleated green mini skirt that I’m wearing right now and not have people giving me second, third and fourth looks while following behind me taking unwarranted pictures of my skirt and laughing while making me go viral. You wouldn’t do that to a woman unless you’re gross, and there are laws in place against that. I want to live in a world where I can throw out all of my pants and shorts and replace them with all the skirts I’ve always wanted to be able to wear outside of the bedroom.
Speaking of the bedroom, let’s talk about my wife. She is the most amazing, loving, and understanding woman in the world. [...] I can freely wear skirts at home around her and she still loves me for it. I’m not judged or ridiculed by it, and I’m more comfortable than I’ve ever been around her knowing that this part of me isn’t a secret anymore. I don’t feel like less of a man when I wear a skirt, and more importantly, my wife doesn’t see me as less of her man when I wear a skirt. Sure it was awkward at first, I expected it to be. But now we’re both used to it and comfortable with it. It’s a damn shame that this pretty little skirt I’m wearing is the deciding factor of whether I’m a real man or not in the eyes of the rest of the world. The same world that wants you to fight for your right to be equal. As far as society is concerned, the second it’s known that I’m a man who wear skirts, I’ve already lost that fight.
My favorite types of skirts are short and flowy. I personally don’t like wearing skin tight skirts because I don’t like seeing my obvious bulge. My ideal, everyday skirt would be tartan, pleated, and about halfway down my thigh. Not so much the slutty schoolgirl skirt, but more like an actual, appropriate schoolgirl skirt. [...] My vision is to one day wake up in a world where I can do my morning routine, put on my shirt and shoes like I do now, and then slip on my favorite skirt and go about my day as if it was normal. I would see other men who do the same because in this world, skirts are not assigned specifically for women. Maybe one day.
