Never considered myself as a 'sissy'. 2nd Dan Black Belt, former state Amature Kickboxing Champion, studied MA under some of the best in the world. But, if my desire to wear a dress and bra makes me a sissy... So what.
Is that any business of yours?

I left this whole quote in for a reason, which I'll address later. There's two different things being discussed here in this thread and I think you're blending them into one thing. It's confusing because they're both using the same term, sissy. If it makes you feel better, try imagining one as "sissy" and the other as "Sissy."Quote:

While I don't understand the "may not," (are you implying we're making it up?) this is the meat of the argument here.Quote:
I've mentioned a few times that I'm proud to be a sissy and it has nothing to do with any websites that you may or may not have seen.
The reason I left in your whole quote from the beginning is because you made a point of emphasizing that you self identified with the word "queer." This is a very important point of the discussion because it shows that you are proudly using a word originally intended for derogatory purposes and making it a badge of honor. I absolutely support your decision to do that with both queer and sissy. It's not something I prefer to do myself, but it is an entirely personal decision. In regards to the original post, it was an ignorant old man making a slur in regards to an effeminate man, and it's just something we will all have to deal with occasionally.
But then the thread split off in a different direction,
My last post was directly in response to the post that LilSissySteve posted in which he said:
Tolerance doesn't mean being absolutely open minded to every possible thing without putting any thought or ration behind it whatsoever. I'm sorry, but I'm not on board with tolerating any lifestyle that actively degrades women as a whole, and for that matter, crossdressers as a whole. So if that makes me a "Sissyphobe" then so be it.Quote:
From where I stand, I don't see a whole lot of difference between the sissyphobe in the OP, the hypocritical sissyphobes here that whine for tolerance and understanding for themselves, and the homophobes that felt a need to gay bait the sissyphobe in the OP.
Two can play that game though:Quote:
I can almost hear your argument;
"Oh no, I'm not a sissy, that's a subset of a crossdressing fetish and I'm just a regular crossdresser who loves to wear panties and bras. I'm just like you man, except I want to express my feminine side."
"Oh, sir, indeed I am a sissy, because I was called it often in my childhood by boys with a similar mindset to yours, and thus I now wear it proudly as a badge of honor! So thank you, good sir, for noticing the sissy that I am. "
Let's be fair here, BOTH are silly arguments to put forward towards another person, especially one who is clearly ignorant enough to yell "f***ing sissy!" at one of his own neighbors, and I don't think anyone is implying that this would be the course of action.
However, I don't think there is anything wrong with someone being in a situation where they were called a sissy, didn't like it and coming to a message board where the topic of discussion is male to female crossdressing and saying "hey, I didn't like this" and someone else saying "me either, and here's why I don't like to be associated with that particular term."
It's unfortunate that a closeminded individual had to express his thoughts in a manner that is hateful and demeaning. Besides, who gives a rat's a$$ what he thinks.
Frankly, I would do what I do normally (due to some hearing loss) and ask him to repeat himself over and over and over. Eventually he'll either give up (which is usually the case) or move closer to continue to verbally assault you. If he makes a threatening move towards you remind him that he is tresspassing and warn him any further incidents will be reported to the police.
If he wishes to become physical you have another problem entirely and the authorities should become involved.
Okay I'm finished with this one.
I'm obviously unable to get my point across and I apologize to all of you perfectly straight and macho ladies for my apparently offensive position on what the world thinks of boys in dresses.
Consider this;
The average Nascar fan would consider every genetic male on this site a bunch of sissies. I can't believe anyone would disagree with that. This is what happens when semantic nonsense overtakes honest discourse.
By the way, there were no sissification web sites when I was in junior high. Is it at all possible that my definition was first?
I'm quite certain that those jerks weren't calling me names because I was wearing a petticoat and a ball gag.
Okay, flame on with the vaguely threatening and entirely male attitudes.

Well,,, I almost always have a vehicale of some kind taken apart in my drivway. I have a mucle car, a pickup truck, and a fish'n boat. Most of my neighbors are yuppies. I think I could do just about anything, and my neighbors would be afraid to say anything about it for fear the keeper of the Ford 302 would give them a 14 in cresent wrench upside the head!
