So Unfair

[bimini1]

For me I don't want to simply cross dress. That would be me, out as my male self from the neck up, no forms in just clothes made for a female. No, I am not arguing to do that. I don't know if this applies to you Jillian, but I am not talking about just cding persay. What I want is not the right to cd, but the right to express my full transgendered self. To me it's two different things.

The old argument women get to wear what they want while men do not ? Well if I showed up in say, some red dress shoes, or red slacks. Or some men's shoes that were purple or flowered. Somebody is going have an issue with that. You know this. Women have more freedom, more options to choose from. That is just the way it is. Yes some of the colors are opening to men, I wear more pinks and turquoise, purple than most in my male self. And in my everyday life as male, I have little desire to wear anything other than mostly traditional male attire and color. And it stresses me out after a while because I want to appear in female form after a while. But when presenting my full TG self it goes way beyond just the clothes and colors. I have no desire to be a male in women's clothing. In that respect I feel I am a transgendered woman.

Now still, notwithstanding, a female who shows up in jeans and a flannel shirt but is obviously female, make up etc is going to fly way better than if I do the same albeit in a dress and clearly male from neck up. You can't say it's not. I once had a co-worker, female, who would once in a while wear a woman's garment that was clearly influenced by a mans suit all the way down to shirt and tie. I could clearly tell a change in her demeanor every time she wore that outfit. She became more domineering, confident and assertive around the office. No one had a problem with it. Let me try something like that and they would have run me out of there. A woman can freely change hair color, wear wigs, extensions and it's all good. Let a man be discovered wearing a toupee and he's open to ridicule and laughter.

Sorry to say that is just a double standard. Anytime a society deems one group superior to the other, then there will a double standard. If a female aspires to do a traditionally male pursuit, I dunno like suit up to be the kicker on a football team. It's celebrated for the most part. Good for her. If a male wants to do a tradionally female pursuit, like play with a Barbie doll, or ballet, it's generally frowned upon. Like something is wrong with him and he needs help to be more masculine. He needs to "man up". Of course it's utter BS.
