The clothes we like and why women don't wear them.

[Lucy Long Legs]

Many posts here complain that few women wear the clothes we like to wear - skirts, dresses, heels, hose etc and, while talking to my lady therapist, these thoughts occurred to me.
I am a straight man who likes to present as a feminine woman, but have no desire to transition for many reasons. My therapist pointed out that the clothes I choose to wear are only one kind of female clothing: ones that emphasise my vulnerability and submissiveness. They are associated traditionally with women, but many women no longer see themselves in that role. I am wearing them as a man because I want to be seen that way, not because I want to be a woman.
So, my heels show I cannot escape, my hose shows my elegant, graceful legs, my short skirt shows I am defenceless, my bare arms and exposed neck show I am vulnerable and my makeup emphasises my sensitive feelings - my eyes look as thought I am about to cry and indeed this happens sometimes. My mouth is over emphasised with lipstick and is expressive.
I enjoy these looks as a submissive man but I can see why some women do not.
I do believe I look good in these clothes, but it is the feeling of vulnerability and danger I enjoy the most. When I am dressed, I behave differently, especially when out of the house, and am always aware of possible danger.
Do other people feel the same way? It would be good to hear from GGs.
Lucy

[Alice Torn]

I agree very much. I am much the same way, and the feelings, but not necessarily submissiveness, but there is a little.,
The pretty dresses, broaches, pearls, skirts, tops, the hose and heels which make my legs so gorgeous, tight girdles, bras. would not really want to be a lady 24/7. Maybe part of me would, but not all of me. I think most women are afraid to attract unwanted male attention, and or violence, rape, and choose to wear clothing that makes them less vulnerable, and is more comfortable, and most over 50 cut their hair short, too . The Me Too movement has a lot of American women disgusted with men, too, and many sadly have lost all respect for men, and do not want to be attractive for men. A sad time we live in.

[NancySue]

In many ways, we have a lot in common...straight, no interest in transitioning, enjoy looking the best I can, began around 4 or 5, etc. Yes, I too, have complained about women who no longer wear the clothes I love to wear. My supportive wife falls in that column. When we met, she always wore heels and hose, mini skirts, did some modeling, etc., but over the past several years, she’s quit. We talk about it. Her responses are based on comfort. She thinks heels, hose, underwires, slips, shape wear, pencil skirts, etc. are all very uncomfortable. Likewise, she doesn’t understand how I can be comfortable wearing all things, especially underwires, shapewear, hose, heels, etc., but I do. She teases me, that, I can’t wait to put on...what she can’t wait to take off. I fault our now casual, “anything goes” society. At work, she always wore all the items mentioned, but now...nah. She loves the new “freedoms”. I believe..there will be no turning back. I’m just thankful for her acceptance. She says, “they’re just clothes”. I agree, but...

[Cheryl T]

I definitely do not feel that way.
I admit that years ago, before I came out to my wife, my preferences were for sexy heels, sheer hose, short skirts and revealing tops. It wasn't that I wanted to feel defenseless or vulnerable. Quite the opposite. I wanted to feel sexy, feminine and have the ability to exercise that "control" over a man that some women have through their sexuality.
Those days have passed as I have grown and matured. My clothing styles have changed dramatically now that I can dress whenever and however I desire. I've become more like the average woman. I no longer wear those heels and hose and sexy skirts/dresses except for special occasions and outings. The majority of the time finds me in shorts or capris, sandals and a tank top or t-shirt in the summer. In the cooler months it's jeans or slacks with a nice blouse and wedges, ankle boots or flats. In winter it's definitely jeans and boots with a cozy sweater.
If you looked simply at my clothing you would have no idea that I'm a CD. Those tell tale outfits of my youth have given way to stylishly dressed mature woman and I absolutely love who I am and how I dress.

[Lacy PJs]

I can relate to this to a point. While I don't fully dress, I do enjoy wearing PJs, nightgowns and babydolls. When dressed like that, I do feel "vulnerable," but I'm not sure to what since I only dress in the privacy of my home and my wife is the only person who knows of my night time preferences.

[Tracii G]

Ok one question you state you want to be seen as vulnerable and enjoy the danger.
Are you sure you are really straight? Any man that is actually straight I would bet there is no way they would think that way.
Sounds more like a fantasy you are feeling and that you dress for the kink factor. I am not knocking you for it if that is what you like thats fine with me.

[RADER]

You have an interesting point. My Wife would always want me to Un-Hook her Bra when she got home.
She could not wait to take it off. Then she wold ask me,"Where is your Bra, Get it and I will hook you up"
She could never under stand why I loved wearing girdles, long line Bra's and other restricted garments.
I never could give her an answer more than I love wearing them.
Rader

[Bea_]

The vulnerability angle may apply on an individual basis, but I'm not thinking it applies on a broad scale. For me, it's the indulgence of the clothing and fashion women wear that is the draw to crossdressing. Since I don't dress as a woman and don't get out in public in most of my favorite things, vulnerability doesn't come into play at all. Where vulnerability does factor in is in my wife's willingness to accept my style, but that's a whole different argument.

And, my wife worked in the professional world for decades and her style went from youthful/cute but still professional in the early years and evolved to more of the woman's power suit in the eighties and into the nineties. She had massive numbers of heels (and matching purses/accessories) and always wore pantihose. The length of her dresses and skirts varied but always looked stylish. I don't think my wife would ever describe 'vulnerable' as a feeling she experienced.

[Bobbi46]

My ex was exactly the same she would come home take off her bra and then give her breasts a good old scratch!! I often wonder if this need to take a bra off is a sign that the bra is not fitting properly enough, maybe its me and others mlike me I like wearing a bra and have no discomfort from wearing it either.
However when it comes to outer wear (at least here in France and in my area particularly) for the GG's its mainly skinny jeans and leggings and in the hot weather for the younger ones it bottom hugging shorts, so sad really that skirts for some of the time are not seen on women,after all what better to see a women dressed in a lovely skirt with tights/stockings on, looking good and thinking " I would like to be like her".

[Tracii G]

All this boils down to is some can't seem to let go of the fact times change and styles come and go.
Having a preference for a certain style is fine but going so far as to complain that others don't seem to be in agreement is kind of out there.
It is what it is wear what you like and don't worry about other people.They don't have to conform to your standards.
Live and let live.

[HannahB]

I tend to agree with Bea, the feelings of submissiveness may be what works for some, but I don't think it can be generalized. We all have our individual reasons. For me, I just like to feel pretty and feminine at times and be able to escape the daily pressures for a while. The only vulnerability I may feel at some times comes from crossing paths with the occasional trans-phobic nut case. Even that is manageable, if you are careful.

[Teresa]

Lucy,
I don't think the majority of women look at it in the same way , I'm not saying your therapist is wrong but fashion changes all the time , women have become more equal and dress more appropriately .

I now dress appropriate to the jobs I have to do during the day and also considering the weather conditions but don't really consider the hidden implications in the clothing items .

[Stephanie47]

Hi Lucy, I went and read your bio/introduction from long ago. You stated your body is feminine which got you in trouble long ago. I am assuming bullies may have picked on you. Therapy is a one on one interaction with patient/client and therapist and does not really lead to generalities. I suspect your therapist is equating what s/he sees in your personality and your choice of clothing. If you're projecting submissiveness, then I have to assume s/he is feels your choice of clothing reflects that.

I do not believe choice of clothing defines a woman's self. A pretty dress, hosiery and heels, nice hair and makeup may be seen as submissive if those clothes are dictated by a controlling husband or boyfriend and the woman relegates herself to "arm candy" for a man. "Yes dear, no dear,anything you want dear!"

The same outfit worn by a confident woman may have her husband or boyfriend relegated to a puddle of pliable mush on the floor. "Yes dear, no dear, anything you want dear!"

My choice of clothing reflects the time period I grew up in; the 1950's and 1960's. Women in my neighborhood did NOT wear pants. Young girls had "snow pants" they wore under their dresses to school during extremely cold winter weather and blizzards. At school the snow pants were taken off. Women/girls wore dresses to church. This was societal conformity. I did not have a sense there was any submissiveness associated with dresses and hosiery/heels. Men toiled at a job outside the home. Women did the child raising and domestic chores. That relationship did not necessarily create submissiveness or domination.

Anyway, I wear dresses. Heels and hosiery. Colorful lacy slips and bras and panties. I definitely think if I was a woman I'd have a man's head buried...... Let's see who would be submissive.

[Micki_Finn]

Nope, exact opposite for me. My femininity is my strength and my power. I am a glamazon goddess and a queen. I command a room and all eyes are on me because I will it so.

[Robertacd]

I don't buy it, women haven't changed, styles and fashion have.

Your therapist may be right about why you choose the styles you choose, but I think they are wrong about why women in choose the styles they choose.

[jacques]

hello Lucy,
I did notice that when I went through a period of being bullied at work by a supervisor I need to dress up in a more feminine way and more frequently - was that a subconscious expression of vulnerability?
luv J

[Robbiegirl]

I am just a bit younger than Stephanie47 and primarily saw women happily going about in pretty dresses, stockings and heels. In the movies they seemed so happy swishing about in lacy slips and nighties and just enjoying being Girls like the song.

I never saw styles changing to pants ! Sorry just wanted women to stay in the girlie styles of the 60s and 70s. I will gladly wear my suits to work again.

BRING BACK THE FUN GIRLIE STUFF !

[Robertacd]

So Robbie saw women in movies that seemed happy... You do realize that they were just acting, right?

[Palaina Nocturnus]

Lucy, I found that to be a fascinating insight by your therapist and I understand their basis for thought. It is interesting to see so many here so opposed to the idea of vulnerability, both towards themselves and females. We ARE males after all lol

Alice, it's funny that my girlfriend and I do the same thing. She gets home and removes her bra and I put mine on lol she puts on baggy clothes and I put on tight clothes

[Lucy Long Legs]

Some great contributions here - thank you. We all have our own feelings about this and I wasn't trying to generalise. I'm pleased to see that there are some who feel a little like I do, but I'm fascinated to see how empowered some people feel by dressing in a very feminine way; for me it is the opposite which suits me. It is possible to be a submissive and feminine man who is attracted to women.
Lucy

[Rhonda Jean]

Not me. I'm sure I have been more affected by fashion I admired when I was a kid that the average GG has been, though. I haven't worn pantyhose for probably 20 years, but I hung on to other things far too long. When I was growing up, eye shadow was blue, lipstick and nail polish were red, and women rolled their hair and many went to the beauty shop for a shampoo and set once a week. Took me a long time to get away from blue eyeshadow, and still drift back that was sometimes. I do stray from red nail polish, but I always come back. I have toned down my lipstick a lot. If my hair was long enough I'd still roll my hair and get salon sets. I'm not at all running from the "vulnerable" tag. I just don't think it fits me.

[Chelsea B]

Though I do tend to be more submissive as a CD, and enjoy presenting my vulnerable side (I wear my heart on my sleeve anyway), I dress for femininity, and femininity is infinitely more than those two things, in fact may not even encompass them in many GG’s.
As my journey took me deeper on an emotional and cognitive level, on the physical level, I found myself doing all I could to mask my masculinity, thus the progression to makeup, accessories, etc. I may BE on the submissive side, but it’s more important for me to FEEL my femininity emerge.

[AngelaYVR]

Looking good is powerful, not submissive. Sensible women have always known that men are easily captivated by a well dressed woman.

[char GG]

I was a teen in the 60's, when girls had to wear dresses/skirts to school. That wasn't so bad but the mile walk back and forth to school was terrible. Men would go by and whistle, cat-call, and even offer me rides! I certainly was not a raving beauty or even looking for any attention. I was very shy back then and wanted to blend into the background, not be objectified by a bunch of (my opinion back then) - dirty old men, who felt they could say whatever they wanted. Even worse, it occurred almost every day!

Girls were given the ok to wear "dress pants" in my senior year, it was so refreshing to be able to walk down the sidewalk and be afraid of the guys who felt emboldened to call out to a teenage girl.

So as far as being "vulnerable", I guess that word would fit how I felt as a teen. I don't think that feeling ever goes away. I like dresses but feel more comfortable in jeans.

EDIT:

Fast forward to 2019. Things have changed, my opinion, for the better. For one thing, a man offering a kid a ride would not be ignored any longer. He would probably be arrested!

[Tracii G]

Nobody likes to be objectified.

[ReineD]

My therapist pointed out that the clothes I choose to wear are only one kind of female clothing


I enjoy these looks as a submissive man but I can see why some women do not.


So very true. You and your therapist understand women!

I'm a typical GG. I am feminine. I am NOT submissive. I am strong. I am independent. And I relish this. I do not wish to pretend to be weak and cede my power to anyone. I do not need to purposely show off my legs or bust or booty because I know I have them. Most days I wear practical clothing because they make going about my days so much easier. If I wish to entice a man, then I can show off my body parts. But I don't go about enticing men on a daily basis :)

I dare say that most women are like me.


... I'll edit this to add there was a time in my life when I was unattached. I dressed more often in a manner that members in this forum would consider attractive. It was important for me then to be attractive to men. So it sounds as if my sexuality is focused outwardly towards men, but yours is focused inwardly towards wanting to feel vulnerable.

[alwayshave]

I am not sure that the way I dress is submissive, but I do dress the way women did when I was young. To me it sounds like the therapist is projecting her view of women's clothes and not the reality of what you like to wear.

[Lea]

I enjoy the dresses, skirts and heels. I also wear women's pants and capris. While dresses and heels have inherent limitations I do not consider those submissive.
We are in an age of comfort and I think fashion is showing that for both women and men.
If one works in an office environment that employees can wear skirts and dresses I do not consider them submissive compared to working in an environment that type of clothing would be impractical.
To me my wife is the most beatuiful femimine women there is and she wears a skirt maybe once a year.
I have never looked at a women in a dress heels and hose and thought that they were submissive.

[Joyce Swindell]

This kind of plays into what I heard Steve Harvey say on his show last night. He was telling a lady in the audience that women have pretty much all the power in the relationship. She has been with the same guy for 5 years and has always told him that she was NOT going to be in her 60's still calling her significant other her "boy friend"

My first thought to your post was What? So all straight crossdressing men are submissive? I guess I do have a little bit of that, so maybe it's true??? I don't know...yet. So thanks for the thoughts to ponder. I'll let you know if I come up with an answer.

[Asew]

, but I do dress the way women did when I was young.

I think many of us like to dress the way women dressed in our younger years. I know for me my dressing in secret started in my teens, and even now my crossdressing fashion sense is slanted towards the fashions when I was a teenager (90s). Those younger years were where when our fashion sense was formed from movies, television and how the women around us were dressing.

[Robertacd]

Thank you ReineD for shining a bit of reality on this thread. Women haven't changed, society and fashion has.

Too many people here are stuck in the past. It's like we stopped growing once we discovered cross-dressing.

We, and I guess most GM's have this image of what I perfect GG looks like and wears. For me that image has kept up with the times, for some it hasn't.

[Aunt Kelly]

The explanation is pretty straightforward. CIS women choose their clothes for different reasons than crossdressers use to choose their clothes. Crossdressers are satisfying a fantasy or fetish. CIS women choose for function and style, just as CIS men do. I am absolutely not judging, but let's be honest. If your presentation is not crafted to blend, you're getting a kind of satisfaction that non-CD's are pretty much never after.

[Tracii G]

Most women I know personally are the opposite of being vulnerable in the way they dress.
Most are just like ReineD.
I agree Roberta many here are locked in the past and haven't accepted the reality that times have moved on.

[Georgina]

What has crossdressing to do with what women wear? It concerns so called female clothes. I couldn't care less what women wear today and if they stop wearing dresses I would not mind. I like to see dresses worn with style and either man or women can do that. I only dress in skirts or dresses in my own times and what underwear I wear is my own business. There is no need to keep up with the times, that is more to do with commercialism. Style is timeless.

[Tracii G]

If all you do is dress at home deep in the closet wear whatever you like from whatever era you want but don't complain if women don't wear what you want them to.

[kimdl93]

Honestly, I make a very concerted effort to dress as any other woman in my age bracket would dress, within any given context. If I’m alone at home, I seldom bother with make up, I’m happy in exercise leggings and tops, or casual tops and jeans. If I’m going out for dinner and drinks, I’ll try for something more a bit nicer, but comparable to what other women will be wearing. Having not experienced childhood, adolescence and puberty as a woman, I pay very close attention to what real women actually wear and do not hesitate to ask for advice.

[AngelaYVR]

If your presentation is not crafted to blend, you're getting a kind of satisfaction that non-CD's are pretty much never after.

What sort of satisfaction are we talking here? My wife dresses up on the weekend simply to look nice and enjoy her clothes. My 80yo mum will always be wearing a skirt when she leaves the house. To some, looking your best when in public may be an old fashioned idea but seeing as it harms absolutely nobody then what’s the problem?

Have you never checked out the comments below YouTube videos that show “vintage” fashions and all the remarks from both men and women along the lines of “why don’t people dress like that anymore?” Well, some of us do continue to dress like that! Because...it looks fantastic!

I have no problem flying the flag for style and injecting a little class into the otherwise humdrum and boring “let’s dress like everybody else” crowd.

For the record, I don’t blend in male mode either.

[lingerieLiz]

I grew up wearing the clothes Robbiegirl had in her post. From time to time something could be uncomfortable. But for the most part if they were fitted right they were as comfortable as the clothes today. I see a lot of women wearing clothes today that are the same as I wore years ago. Jeans were common back in the 50s. Slacks zipped on the side.

As for not growing with the times. I wear current stuff. But I see things in department stores that are the same fashion from the 50s/60s etc. Fabrics have changed sometimes. My wife and I talk about the quality of clothes today. We are in a throw away time slot currently. People buy and throw away.

[rachel_rachel]

Is it that we like to dress as we we like to see women.. I’m not objectifying women as anything other than the opposite gender, but I like the elegance that a confident woman projects through the way she dresses.
I believe that copying that is the most sincere form of flattery

[Dutchess]

GG here . I am 56 born in 62 . My favorite decade for clothing was the late 60's through 70's . I still very much dress like that - I will always be the hippy gypsy surfer girl .
Stevie Nicks has been my muse since 77. It has grown on me to a point that my friends see that era or clothing in that style and will tell me about it . So it is me- my identity . Lots of velvet and fringe and sparkles and such but that is just me .
Not much make up these days .

. As alot know I am not in the best of health right now so I am primarily in long shift dresses / lots of peacocks in the theme . I try not to wear a bra it is painful and I have not worn underwear since 81 - but I am very much a girl . Jeweled, beaded flip flops ARE my shoes with Uggs added in winter .

I have had 2 TG'ers in my life . One my former husband constantly stole and ruined my way smaller clothing , he would only dress in what he though was extreme sexiness but instead was streetwalker chic . Clothes came before everything and I would be ridiculed if I did not wear a GIANT BRA that I stuffed?? I have no need to stuff anything . . He would only wear what he deemed sexy to the touch , silk or silk feeling fabrics. His trying to hide his touching them was strange . He had alot of self shame though that no one could help but himself . He would also get very ill tempered if he didnt find something at Goodwill that he liked . He was from Europe and his family was not ok with any of this .

My late partner could care less what anyone thought dressed openly , we went places together with lots of PDA . Both s/he and my former husband had waist length hair so no wigs . S/he was also happy to be very gender fluid . I just loved her for this . Beautiful person . Wore bra 90% of the time and same with panties but it was not obsessive , s/he like cami's and boho skirts mainly but was beautiful in high dollar ski pants and a black turtleneck too with lots of VERY colorful jewelry . Was always in a good humor and was not secretive and angry about this part of her life , it was just her - I never understood how clothing could make one so angry ??? . We met on a Lilly Pulitzer discussion board so s/he enjoyed dressing me for daily life too.
So two different types there .

[sometimes_miss]

It's been my opinion that a lot of us wear certain female specific clothes in order to calm the inner conflicting GID, by getting the various feedback that the clothing gives us, sort of affirming that we're actually the female that something in our mind is telling us we are: It's clothes which are psychologically comfortable, actually made more so by being physically less comfortable. Foundation garments, bras, girdles, corsets, which give a constant reminder that they are there, dresses & skirts which visually flow into our sight lines, accessories/nail polish, feminine jewelry, everything adds up to support the illusion of being female that we need.

Women, OTOH, don't need this, because they have always known that they are female; so they will wear whatever they feel most physically comfortable, in.

[Alice Torn]

Angela, I think a lot like you do. I do not like blending in in either mode! Modernism has made most clothes boring and classless. to me Not all, but much. I have always been odd and out of step and unusual.

[Maid_Marion]

As a short guy in clothes that were too big I was pretty much ignored.

Now that I have lots of long hair well past my shoulders wearing clothes that complement my petite hourglass figure just about everyone notices me now.
And now the clothes that I used to wear feels uncomfortable. I have skinny form fitting jeans that I can barely tell that I'm wearing something!

[Lea]

This may be coming from left field but I am curious about something.
I prefer the dresses or skirts, heels and full makeup. Except for a few hours three times a week I have dressed for 35 days in a row. On house cleaning days it was in capris or jeans otherwise dresses or skirts.
I do not mind wearing a suit and tie. We have been at weddings and before we began the trip home my wife changed from her skirt to shorts but I stayed in my suit.
Do you think their is any bearing that those who dress up in skirts and dresses are more formal dressers anyway?

[Maid_Marion]

I've tried to buy a suit but it is hard when you are my size. One of the first female clothes I wore socially was a 4P woman's blazer with the buttons on the other side.

That is an interesting observation ! I would fall into that camp as a fan of always dressing up and being the class act

[Ameli]

I’ve been wondering about this for sometime. Much of the clothing I enjoy represents an antiquated version of woman’s beauty. I’m happy to say that I’ve been enjoying more jeans and blazers while in femme mode these days.

[Victoria_Winters]

So I have tired the super girly outfits in the past. I worn the heels, did the stockings.... and while it is occasionally fun, and the sexy feeling is great but can be a pain at times. I once asked my x-wife why she don?t wear super girly stuff she said ?it?s just a pain!? Wearing skirts you have to worry about ?are my legs shaven? and leggings aren?t practical as they get runs and torn easy.

Heels do amazing things for your arse but main they get painful after a while. You will never see woman that spends any length of time standing like a waitress wearing heels.

I personally mostly wear functional clothing. Jeans, leggings. (Love lula roe) blouses, shirts, and the like. I do have some nice dresses and skirts which I wear some times but my self consciousness about my legs keeps me from wearing them too much. A little hair and thick. I have huge cafe muscles.

I think most CD people just love the girly outfits and since most of us only wear around the house for short times and not worried about what people see as no one ever does we don?t have the same stress most females get about girly outfits.

[susan54]

I am free to spend most of my time dressed however I like. At these times I wear dresses (rarely skirts, never trousers), tights (except in summer), medium heeled courts shoes, panties, a bra and a slip. I avoid shapewear, stockings, and make up (except lipstick). Most of the clothes are very stylish and I have had a colour and style consultation. I want to look elegant not feminine and I feel good if I look good. There is no easing off in the clothing preferences over time. I will wear a wig and make up to go out and will then adopt a fairly feminine walk but at no time do I ever imagine I am a woman. I am acting and it is fun. Many of the women around me are very well dressed in dresses and skirts.

[Leslie Mary S]

I tend to put on dresses, skirts and tops because that is what is most comfortable to me. I think not of things like " am I valuable" or "Am I attractive or beautiful". It is all about comfort for me. Leggings, slacks, etc are to restrictive for me. I have almost quite wearing hose or pantie hose. The only thing that I wear for looks are my makeup products, nails and polish, and wigs. (Male pattern baldness creeping in on this 76 year old head).

Hi Rachel. You expressed exactly how I see myself when I wear my pencil skirts and 4-5" high heels. I enjoy seeing a well dressed woman wearing a knee high tight skirt and high heels. Some think it as sexy, I think of it as very professional. Since I do not present myself as a woman, I mix in a men's shirt to go with the skirt. Sometimes, the shirt will match the color of my pumps, or since I wear a tie often I'll match the tie to the shoes. Also, nowadays, it is considered impractical to wear high heels as fashion has moved more to a lower heel, but I'll stay with my 4 or 5" heels. I do enjoy seeing a woman in a business suit with slacks and high heels. But I like to wear the skirts and not the pants.

Mark

[Leslie Mary S]

Tight skirts (Pencil skirts) accentuate and show off your leg lines, of which you have great ones of.

[stephenie3756]

Mark B - agree with you - when I see a well dressed woman, I think it as very professional. I am also jealous that women get to dress that way while I end up wearing my steel toe boots, work pants, etc. You are an inspriation to many of us.

[Mark B]

Stephenie. I also wear steel toed shoes when out in our manufacturing area. They are 2 inch wedge pumps with the steel toe. Not extremely comfortable on top of the toes where the steel ends. But tolerable. Most other women in our office wear the steel toed Croc looking shoes.

[mbmeen12]

It comes down to practicality or situation. Men or women wear to meet the needs of the event.


It's been my opinion that a lot of us wear certain female specific clothes in order to calm the inner conflicting GID Spot as for me, as it also energizes make and me relaxed....

Be safe out there too folks and try to dress as you see fit.... life is short and enjoy
