    If I buy a dress, I should be able to wear it when I want to. I at times go out with my wife looking more femme that male. My wife is always afraid someone will say something about me being dressed femme. So in at least the last 15 years no one excpt for my wife, has sait a word to me about looking femme when out dressed.

    I think defining 'true' femininity by clothing is exactly the trap CW fell into.

    I feel some of us are reading too much into this.

    Clothing in general, is a form of expression, an indication of feeling, spirit and character.

    Most of my clothing, whether intended for the male or female body are either PINK or LIGHT BLUE.

    PINK: signifies romance, love, and friendship. It denotes feminine qualities and passiveness.

    LIGHT BLUE: is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.

    The ONLY thing stopping me from wearing whatever, Is ME..!

    A good example happened today, I was off to the market to pick up some last minute items for dinner. I was dressed in male, black Dickies pants, male dress shirt, and black 5 inch heel classic style pumps. When I got to the store I slipped off my shoes, and put on my mens flip flops, why? at both entrances to the store, were boy scouts collecting for something. I think I changed my shoes because I did not want to confuse the boy scouts, was what I did wrong?

    All clothing sends a message, or, going nude. Intertwined, I admire your honesty, and, between you,in my sometimes wrong opinion and me, you did the right thing, at the store.

    I think your wrong. I look at Annie Lennox, at Tilda Swinton, at K.D. Lang and I don't see their femininity emphasised at all! I see a unique combination of masculinity and femininity. Compared to say them wearing a figure-hugging 1940's cocktail dress which would definately emphasise their femininity i really don't see how their is emphasised femininity in a woman in a suit.

    I think that this is a myth told and believed to justify how mixed-gender expression within certain degrees is acceptable and even acknowledged as attractive on women. That it is a TG attractiveness we pretend, even to ourselves, is still feminine in order to be comfortable that we find it attractive.

    Where's the emphasis of masculintiy in Emo pin-up boy Davey Havok of AFI? http://i16.tinypic.com/4zk6seq.jpg http://media.photobucket.com/image/d...1672655355.jpg
    or the controvertial Jeffree Starr? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZX1V1BFeaW...e-Star-376.jpg http://idontwantyourlife.com/wp-cont...08/01/jef1.jpg

    Both of whom are considered very sexually attractive by GGs that I know.

    Instead a masculine clothing expression on a very femininely anatomied woman or feminine makeup-clothing expression on a very masculine bodied man simply results in a form of distinclty transgender not-at-all-passing appearance. One that it is acceptable these days to find attractive on women but not on men because of the intersections of Sexism (such as "of course women would want to be masculine as being a man/having male qualities is better while a man being feminine is crazy") Homophobia ("lesbians are hot, so long as they aren't too butch, but gay men, especially effeminate ones are disgusting") and of course Transphobia.

    Good Girls Should Burn Their Boxers

    Most people don’t deliberately wear clothing to satisfy the demands of natural law and social order. They aren’t that high minded about it. No woman is saving the world when she wears a dress and no man is destroying it when he wears one. It’s all a silly and selfish fashion show for Wal-Mart shoppers. Pretty boys and handsome girls make it more interesting.

    If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
