Hi all,
Now that I have introduced myself I cannot wait to get the perspectives of other folks on this board on a type of behavior that I am confused about but feel a strong need for. It is the wearing of women's clothing in public. I don't try to appear as a woman but rather want to blur gender lines etc. However, what I feel most strongly about is to not let societal conventions dictate what I can and cannot wear.
Examples: leggings, Piercing, crop pants, tights , and even skirts that pass the "could this be men's clothing?" test. Sometimes I will do things like tuck my gear away and wear leggings...
Is it politics? Is it a dare? Is it sexual? Is it about putting myself into a vulnerable situation? Yes, yes, yes and yes, and it depends, for me.
But what about you?
Who else is doing this?
What are you wearing?
In what situation do you wear these things? Work, home, family, special friends, strangers?
What do you know about your motivation?
What emotions do you experience when you wear mixed cloths?
I know that the next step for me is to do more to suggest physical female attributes under my mixed-gender clothes: small breasts that can only be seen by the extra keen observer and that could pass for male breasts. Or wider hips through padding. I don't know where this is leading.
Thanks for your perspectives!
