If there were no prejudice, would you trade your male clothes for female ones ?

[Rayleen]

I tough about it for a while and my answer would be yes, the reasons: I would be more myself and a happier person for sure.

Of course, I would consult my partner, but I think there would not be any problems.

[Cheryl T]

I have already for the most part.
About 80% of my wardrobe is feminine and most of the rest is required by work.

[Kendalli]

Oh yes totally in a heart beat.

[Pat]

Already did. ;) If there had been no prejudice, I probably would have done it sooner, but I think most people who are out became that way because they reached a point where need outweighed the potential prejudice. If that bar was lower, I think more people would jump it.

[Aunty_Hazel]

In a heartbeat.

[shellybme]

That is a very interesting question. I do enjoy women's clothing a lot. If I did would I want to be considered a woman? Or would I just be a man in a dress? I think I would swap every other day. I am also very comfortable with my male image and I wouldn't want to let that go. This question can also go deeper. Say your spouse is ok with your dressing then the relationship would stay the status quo, wouldn't it? However, if your spouse is not ok with it, would you have ended up with that person in the first place if they have seen you in women's clothing? It's a really great question that can foster a ton of different answers and thoughts. Then again the question was without prejudice but is preference prejudice? I don't know just rambling on here. You did get me thinking though.

[Sarasometimes]

I think I would dress in a blended look some times, sometimes all female and certainly sometimes male. The differences being maybe not doing the full makeup, hair...things i do now to blend.

[foxy bartender]

I’ve almost completely gotten rid of my male clothes as well. I dress in a blended look, mostly feminine every day already, so of course my answer is yes!!!!!
I’m so much happier!!!!

[Gillian Gigs]

I'm going with Sarasometimes on this one, I would have a blend of what I like from both sides of the closet. Feminine under (lingerie), guy on top (shirt), girl on bottom (skirt and hose), with comfortable guy shoes.

[Majella St Gerard]

I already have for the most part as I only dress male for work.

[Fiona123]

If there were no prejudice including from my spouse and employer, yes I would trade male clothes for female clothes and my male identity for a female identity 24/7.

[Natasha V]

Yes in a Heartbeat

[Lucy23]

No way I would trade them.

[Princess Chantal]

Nope, would totally suck the special out of my crossdressing sessions. Therefore would lose any interest in crossdressing.

[DIANEF]

Yes I think I would do it, a few years ago I might have said no.

[Beverley Sims]

For the most part I already have.

[Jaylyn]

Nope but I would mix the two. I love the under dressing and smoothness against my skin. Working on the tractor or cutting metal with a torch I would still want my work clothes on top. I would probably wear heels and wedges more but my farm boots are pretty dang comfy and protect me from rattlesnakes and burrs, now not saying they might not be more colorful color instead of dull brown.
Now if there was no prejudice I might just wear my makeup also, I think I'm much younger looking all made up. I know you didn't ask about the make up but I just threw it in there free of charge....

[Shely]

No, I have occasions for both, but would love to relax ans shop in some of my dresses. There are times when my make clothes are a plus and times where i would love to weat something really pretty and bright, with flowers. But a good question, it makes one think about the possibility. :battingeyelashes:

[Jennifer W]

I was just telling my wife a couple of weeks ago that I wished I could get rid of my male clothes and only wear women's clothes all the time. She was not surprised that I felt that way.
As it is right now I wear mostly fem clothes every day anyway.

[aprilgirl]

While I always enjoy presenting en femme, I wouldn't. I actually dig my male threads.

[Charlotte7]

I suppose it all boils down to whether or not, it's still a bit different, still a bit unusual, still a bit 'naughty'. If I could have acceptance and a 'Yes' to those questions, then a definite 'Yes'. Otherwise, a probable 'No'. Having spent well over 40 years as I am, it'd be hard to give it up for no gain, I'd want to be special, I'd want to be different. I couldn't cope with *normal*.

[Nikki A.]

I would say yes. But, I'm not sure I'd want to lose my male side completely yet either. So either MIAD or full on. But yes there are tops and skirts I would for sure wear.

[CassandraRae]

I would get dressed up and go out more often if I could wear a great outfit. Not that fond of 'dressed up' as a guy. Around the house I would probably slip into my normal guy mode of shorts and a T-shirt but, if there was no prejudice, I would wear them a lot tighter. So yeah, I would trade most of my guys clothes but then I'd have to work harder on my figure.

[sara66]

There is a place for both sets of clothes. I like to be dolled up in female mode and casual in male mode.
Sara

[Jessica_Proton]

Honestly I think I would have a mix of both. All my underthings would be female, some of my work out clothes, oh who am I kidding, Yes, all of it!

[GracieRose]

In a heartbeat. I'd blend it a little, but mostly women's clothes. Also light makeup and grow out my hair. I see a number of forum members who have done that and am happy for them. I also want to thank those who are more public than I (or my family) are comfortable with, because you are slowly improving societal acceptance. Maybe someday...........

[Rayleen]

There a very interesting answers for the reasons that some only enjoy dressing up , and others that have inclination to be full time in female clothe.

For me a yes for the reason that I hate dressing in mens attire for most my life, I feel if in feminine attire, I feel younger and happier and my state of mind change from dark to light.

[Karmen]

Yes, I would do it in a heart beat. Because all the male clothes I like you can get in female version too and usually are even prettier. And I could wear all the female clothes and shoes I love so much.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Rayleen :hugs:, I don't think that I would as I totally enjoy having the Best o both worlds.>Orchid...:daydreaming:...

[DMichele]

Yes I would trade my male clothing for more ladies clothing and wear the clothing 7/365. When I retire, I will retain some token male clothes but the main wardrobe will be women's attire.

[Dana44]

I am gender fluid. So No and I like my fem clothes and some of my male clothes. But hey I was dressed as a male today and got called mam. So I must look girly.

[Stephanielawrence]

Absolutely! I would love to opportunity to be me and present how I want to everyday!

[kimdl93]

Pretty much, yes.

[Robin-in-TX]

It wouldn't be 100% but close. There would be times that I would have no male clothes on but not when I had no female clothes on.

[PamelaRI]

I would without a second thought. For now, I'll keep pushing against the box walls where I can.

[Jean 103]

I have. the only guy clothes I have at home are a few t shirts I wear to work. I present male at work. Other then my t-shirt , the jeans and shoes are women's, that I wear to work.

So in a few months it will be two years I've been living this way. I still love getting dressed, as much as I ever have .

[jennifer0918]

Yes I would

[SaraLin]

My first reaction to this question was "You BET!"

Then I stopped a moment, and asked myself just what "no prejudice" would mean.

If there were NO prejudice at all, then there would be no such thing as women's or men's clothes, and then everything would be fair game. And since I like a good skirt...

If it simply meant that men could wear women's dresses, etc. and still be seen and treated as men, then maybe not so much. For me, that wouldn't be what I wanted at all. MIAD isn't for me.

If it meant that a person were accepted as the gender they presented as - then I'd absolutely go for it. If I go to the effort to look like a lady, I want to be treated like one too.

But this is just me. I'm a bit further along the spectrum and the dressing is more about expressing my inner self than it is about the clothes themselves.

[annecwesley]

Yes. Though I probably would not bother with breast forms or other enhancements to make myself look more female. I love the look and feel of women's clothing.

[cdtraveler]

YES yES and you bet

[Abbey11]

I'd mix the 2

[bamacrossdresser]

yes, in a heartbeat

[Diane Smith]

I already wear heels, long polished nails, and some jewelry much of the time even in male mode, but I'd certainly wear more feminine outer clothes, and makeup, if there were no stigma attached. In fact, I probably would never shop the "men's" side of the aisle again.

- Diane

[leotard fan]

maybe yes. i will speak to my girlfriend first...

[Stacy Darling]

Somebody Stop Me!!!!

[vicky_cd99_2]

Very much yes. While I would still keep some mens clothes for certain engagements. I would be in womens clothes most of the time.

[donnalee]

Already do, except in rare instances where it's just not practical, such as auto repair. I use no forms (natural C cup), no makeup and mostly women's jeans when I'm out (they just fit better).

[Krea]

If there were no prejudice, then yes i would swap fully to feminine clothes without hesitation. :daydreaming:

[StarrOfDelite]

I probably would not. I don't own a lot of specifically female clothes such as skirts or dresses or blouses, and much of my Femme wardrobe consists of sports clothes like jeans, shorts, tees and sweaters and which are basically Women's versions of Men's clothes. Maybe I might go to more things like Tennis dresses or women's dressy pants, but unfortunately those clothes aren't designed to fit the distinctly masculine shape of my body. When they come out with a line of clothes for women who have broad shoulders, narrow hips, and flat buttocks I'd be more interesed. Otherwise, I'd just as soon stay androgynous, "Is it a he or a she?" Of course, if there were no prejudice would people be asking that question anyway?

[XemmaX]

no i wouldn't but i'd dress more for sure.

[Tina June]

If there was no prejudice at all, including my SO!, I would be dancing in the streets with my skirt swirling! and most of my man clothes would be donated to charity - although, I would keep a few pairs of jeans and T-shirts for dirty yard work and other messy jobs!

[CONSUELO]

I would blend the male and female looks a little with more emphasis on the female. If you look at the way most women dress today it would include perhaps jeans and a blouse but the hair style would be feminine and the make-up would be present along with jewelry and ear rings. That would be me some of the time. I grow my hair long but do not have it dressed in a feminine style and I would love to do that. Also while I do wear some jewelry even with my male dress I would like to wear more. Frankly I would probably dress in such a way as to look androgynous most of the time but fully feminine in dresses etc. the rest. What would be really nice is just the chance to dress in whatever style one fancies.

[Rayleen]

Consuelo...I really like your thinking, it make us dream and yours is wonderful...thanks for posting.

[ShelbyDawn]

Absolutely. I would love to be able to wear skirts, pretty tops and heels whenever I want. I can’t say I’d wear them every day, but it would be more than 50% of the time. I would also have all my body hair removed and breast augmentation.

[Lana Mae]

Maybe! I already mix the two! Need the male for work but if there was no prejudice then...I could be a female nurse! I wear female jeans, flats or sneakers and a male/unisex tee shirt on most days when not working! It would be nice to slip on a bra and some forms, make up and a wig and go for it! Hugs Lana Mae

[sometimes_miss]

If you mean would I like to switch from being seen as and old homely out of shape man, to becoming an old homely out of shape crossdressed man, I suppose the answer to that would be, NO. What's the point of going through all that trouble? It wouldn't change my life in any way for the better. And I couldn't wear the current style and age female clothes to work anyway.

[GenevieveF]

Absolutely!

[NicoleScott]

No. I'm happy to be a guy and dress up occasionally.

[Angie G]

Faster then you could sat yes Rayleen. I'd be so walking down the street in a dress and heel. :hugs:
Angie

[daviolin]

I pretty much already have. all my clothes are feminine. There is a lot of unisex clothing in the women's department. I have never raised an eyebrow on the way I dress. Even at church or a work place. Daviolin

[ClosetED]

I would, but still need some house chore / handyperson clothes - beat up jeans and shirt I don't mind getting paint splatter, sawdust, and dirt on. They could be women's jeans.
Hugs, Ellen

[julia marie]

Absolutely, although I wouldn't consider it "trading" men's for women's. Other than my male-cut suits and a few other things, those "men's clothes" aren't that different from what many women wear ever day -- jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, even dress shirts. The woman versions of those clothes differ in subtle ways, like fit (stretchy jeans), reversed buttons, fabric and color, but in many cases they were originally designed for men. There have been threads on this site about the irony in how a woman can wear jeans (once primarily guy clothes) cowboy boots, and work shirts and not be questioned about their sexuality, but let a guy put on a skirt and walk down the street in heels, and heads turn. Oh well, I'd rather have all options available, and I do love wearing skirts and silky blouses. But I also like my hunting boots and camo.

[lingerieLiz]

I have done it. Down to virtually no guy clothes.

[Kelly DeWinter]

Absolutely

[Rica]

I know I would dress up all the time. That would be awesome!

[Sami Brown]

In the perfect world, I would dress in women's clothes, but most of the time without the wig and makeup. The main reason I wear the wig and makeup is to blend in. Having said that, there would still be times I would want to go all the way in presenting as a woman.

My goal for society is for people to be accepted with however they want to present themselves.

Sami

My new blog: The Crossdresser Report
https://crossdresserreport.com

[Kayliedaskope]

+1 on the blended vote. I would still like wearing male clothes when needed for the "dirty jobs," but it would be pleasant to slip into a blouse, skirt, and comfortable heels to relax in afterwards.

[DaisyLawrence]

The trouble is, as long as there are clothes designed exclusively for either gender there will consequently be prejudice against wearing the wrong ones, just as there would be if you used an articulated lorry to run the kids to school (the wrong type of car in peoples mind). For there not to be prejudice all clothes would need to be unisex, in which case it would be impossible to cross dress in the first place. Of course, for forum members who 'pass', there is no prejudice in any case since in the publics eye they are just a woman in womens clothes. To cross dress they would need to don makeup, wig and forms/padding and then where mens clothes which again would not lead to predjudice because women cross dress in such a manner all the time (it being considered as dressing practically rather than crossdressing when a woman does it). Did that make sense, I think I lost myself there for a minute.
Daisy x

[KimberlyJean]

In a heartbeat, I have never liked male clothes.

[Carrie M]

Yes I'd do it for sure. I love the soft feel of my feminine wardrobe in contrast to my guys clothes. Definitely yes.

[Christie ann]

To quote others...in a heartbeat!

[Stiletto Gurl]

I absolutely would. I'd also transition completely if it wasn't for my children. 😢

[Glenda58]

Over the years as my male clothes got old and needed to be replaced I would buy the female style to replace them. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 90% of clothes are female. The only male ones are the ones my wife buys for me.

[Karen RHT]

Even if prejudice didn't exist, I'd still want to dress as I please, when I please.

Daisy, Your answer make a whole lot of sense, sure wish it was unisex and we might not see it tomorrow.
but hope it slowly make its way. What we need is a new type of designers in clothing that promote clothing
that would be unisex and every gender would fit in. Does my idea make sense.

[Pat]

Rayleen -- Let me ask this: if there was no gender differentiation in clothing, do you think the impulse to present female would go away? The question is a little complicated by the fact that on this forum we have people who say they are crossdressers but not transgender, but if you accept that crossdressing is a kind of transgender behavior do you think unisex clothing would really stop it?

I'm pretty sure that I've read about societies where the sexes DO dress alike and yet transgenderism still exists. The trans folks just focus on hair or body modifications or whatever attribute is most associated with women in their culture.

[JaneinFL]

Yes except for work clothes.

[Michelle1955]

Yes, I would wear woman's cloths, just so many more choices and colors,etc

Pat, I don't think it would go away, we would be free to express our choice of clothe without discrimination, ,, mind you this just my humble opinion. I would like to have more choice as myself to choose finer and more choice of clothing.

[Sabrina.K]

Yep, without doubt.

I'm so sick of wearing jeans a shirts :(

[Eve_cd]

Yes. I finally got to the point where I was ready to just be me, then stupid love happened (honestly couldn’t be more grateful) with a woman who just isn’t into it. Bunch of kids(equally grateful) later, and I’m more concerned with how it would reflect on them, and how they might be treated badly by ignorant asshats. In a world where nobody cared, it would be nice to be all the way me.

[Shayna]

Probably would go to about 50 to 60% female, and I would probably spend a lot of time in leggings.

[Christina89]

If I could make it 60/40 so that way I have some male clothes to go back to if needed at times.

[CynthiaD]

Probably not. I have personal interactions every day where it's necessary for me to be the "man in charge." I don't know how to be the " woman in charge," and it would take me too long to learn. My work would suffer a lot. Yes, I've thought long and hard about this.

[Mickitv]

Wow what a beautiful world you are suggesting. Yes I would absolutely do it in a heartbeat

[GeorgeA]

As a miad I consider clothes to be my clothes whether trousers or skirts and would love to see the prejudice disappear and then we could dress the way we like.

[1958Candi]

I would be 50/50. I love to get dressed up girlie and frilly but I also feel comfortable in male clothing. That utopian society would be wonderful!

[Rowan Ailbhe]

I have posed this to myself as, "If I could transition completely with no strings attached, would I?

I cannot yet formulate an answer.

If I woke up thoroughly female tomorrow....I would shrug and call in sick to go shopping...then deal with all the BS...lol

[Nastasha]

Yes I would. I have had to hide it for so long,it would be nice.

[Carolyn]

For me, nothing would change. I enjoy being a man, my wife likes me as a man.
I get to dress up as often as I like since I work from home though I find it a little depressing to dress alone.
I look forward to evenings when I can play with the wife which is 2-4 times a month, no real schedule.

The one thing that always comes to mind is that I would like to find more ways of enjoying this kink such as getting out and being around more people but I also like that it's a treat. Dressing up is a treat for me, it gets me away from stressful work, gets my mind going in different directions.

If it were common for men to dress as women, there would not be the high I get from it. If I dressed up all the time, it would no longer be the same. while I would potentially find new ways to enjoy it, some of the allure, kinkiness, naughtiness would change it for me.

I like exactly where I am other than I wish I would know a friend that is very much like me and even get to dress up with that friend. I've tried searching for that friend and in all the years I have tried, it has lead to nothing.

My few pennies :)

[Fiona Lindum]

I would have a wardrobe that is 50%womans and 50 % male clothing.

[April Rose]

Yes. I think I would. I am allowed to dress at home, whenever I want, unless someone is coming over, or some such circumstance. I find that when I can, I do. It seems to follow that if I didn't have to change when i went out, I wouldn't.

[Jin]

Already have. I ignore the prejudice.

[Sidney]

The idea of being able to wear my female cloths anywhere anytime without prejudice is an interesting thought. However in feme mode 100 percent is not for me. I like both sides of me.

[Sarah S]

I would love to wear female clothes all the time

[Emily Myers]

Absolutely 110%!!! I'm moving out of my parents house soon, and I can't wait to start hanging around my apartment full time as Emily!

[FrannGurl]

Yes I'm sure I would if there were no prejudice towards it.

I have two closets and two dressers in my bedroom. One each for my male clothes and one each for my female clothes.
I have more female clothes than mens, and dress about 60/40 favoring dressing 100% female. However, I almost daily wear womens jeans and panties with a t shirt,sweater or a gender neutral top of some kind

[krissy]

In a second without a doubt .:cheer::cheer:
