    Reine, I really like your input and views. As a TS, feminists don't always support "US" as women.

    I guess I didn't explain myself very well. The feminist remark was in response to PaulaQ, of since the "feminist" way is often the more masculine way. Did not mean to imply it was part of my bland/blending in look, that was what the attitude of other TSs in the 70s-80s said to survive in what could have been dangerous times.

    I agree with the feminist ideas on being powerful. I was very much an Alpha woman at work. It was not always easy being a TS and working with mostly men at work. They took me very seriously, and was put in charge of groups of men at times.

    I never wear clothes that portray myself as a sex object, or focus on my body, or the Lolita look, or as a weak little girl. I am a woman and expect others to see me that way. Some of my wardrobe has had some flounces ribbons bows. But never has been in little girly type clothes.

    As always, Georgette, it is the most controversial and disputed views that get the biggest media coverage. Yes, TERFs do exist (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists), and it all makes for a good academic debate. Even they define themselves as "radical" which by definition means "extreme" (not the norm). But if you look around at all the women who have made a success of their careers, who do make their own financial decisions, who do see themselves as not subservient to men and not their sex objects, etc, they do not share those views.

    You also make a reference to feminism associated with masculinity. lol. If this were true, then it would surely be called "masculinism"?

    Just because women are powerful does not mean they are not women, in any any sense of that word. To take women's accomplishments and the way they refuse to bow down to outdated macho views (with their ways to look at women as little girls or sex objects) and attribute this to being "masculine" is rather misogynistic.

    <edit> Re your last paragraph, you can wear what you want. My comments are very general. If I have a multi-colored scarf with the color pink in it, does this mean that I am portraying myself as a little girl or a sex object? No.

    Here in London, and in Europe, pink isn't just a female colour; men wear pink shirts regularly to work, even some rugby teams wear pink uniforms. There is too much pink-women/blue-men stereotyping in the US.

    I don't like pink in clothing in either mode, however I love soft pink underwear (lacey & frilly the better)

    I'm a severely guilty pinkster. Never thought of it much but, I have several totally pink themed looks. Housekeeper uniform, sissy dresses, panties, bras, lace top socks, t-shirts, skater skirts, tights and leotards. Even six inch heel mary janes. Oh, and that cute little gauze dress. Is it just a desireable cd'er color? Who knows. Lipstick, nail polish, earrings............

    I've waited so long for this time. Makeup is so frustrating. Shaking hands and I look so old. This was a mistake.
    My new maid's outfit is cute. Sure fits tight.
    And then I step into the bedroom and in the mirror, I see a beautiful woman looking back at me.
    Smile, Honey! You look fabulous!

    I think the pink stereotype is close to dead. It used to be a big one. Pink is for girls, blue is for boys. But there are a lot of pink in men's clothing nowadays. shirts, and ties especially. Hot pink is typically worn by teenage girls, whereas pink highlights,... or splashed in somehow worn by 20 somethings and older. Elvis wore pink I believe, and had a pink caddy. Something changed after that though....

    When I told my wife about my dressing over thirty years ago, she was OK with me dressing around her, but one day I put on her pink skirt, she asked me to take it off and didn't want me to wear or she would never buy me anything pink. I couldn't understand it, maybe pink was to feminine for her to handle. Then one day out of nowhere she came home and bought me pink bra and panty set. Couldn't ever figure that out. Now it seams like men wear pink more then women.
