I didn't want to hijack this thread, so I started a new one.
You're both right. Something about being girly (trans) really throws people off. I was at yoga the other day and thinking "Boy these people would be freaked out if I was wearing toenail polish right now." Or if I wore heels to work.
I go to yoga quite often with painted toes. If they're freaked out, they don't say anything. However, most of my GG yoga instructors were very complimentary and appreciative.
But specifically on the topic of yoga, my best friend (who is a cisgender, hetero male) took my bf to hot yoga. My bf wore women's athletic pants, as he normally does, and my best friend thought he looked so hot that now he is rethinking his entire athletic wardrobe. "Women's athletic leggings come in so many cool designs. Men get gray, darker gray, or black." Haha. More men need to be in yoga pants with painted nails, in my opinion!
I agree, and I usually do this.
I've been wearing women's yoga capris or leggings to yoga for about 6 months now. They're pink, purple, or floral. All of my GG yoga instructors have complimented me favorability about them. One of my GG yoga instructors even said she wanted to "steal" my floral one. I've even started wearing women's matching racerback tops. There's also one GG who has expressed some jealousy about my yoga pants. She has said when hers wear out, she'll but some prettier ones. I told here that she doesn't have to wait, and I even alerted her to a sale on yoga pants at Macy's.
I go to the gym wearing the spandex tights/yoga pants, cropped at the calf - you know the kind. I have seen one other male at the gym and he had a pair of shorts over top; to hide his male parts perhaps? IDK. Has anyone ever said anything? Nope. Have people stared for a few seconds - yes, but probably at my sexy legs lol. No, seriously, people don't care as much as we think about our clothing out in the general public. At the same gym they have yoga class and I take off my socks. If anyone was really interested they would see my toes painted although it is shade close to skin tone so it doesn't jump out at you like red or pink. I also wear ladies jeans just because they're so damn comfortable.
My toes are typically painted a very obvious color, like red, blue, green or bright white.
