But then there are the gender benders, like myself in many ways. Look at the sort of derision we get, even on this forum. Look at the "wouldn't it be strange" thread, or whatever it is called, and see what I mean. Many members here think it is better to present in full fem rather than a mix of the two, due to not confusing the general public. Because too many think in the binary. So what should done is entirely hide one's true sex. Yea that will earn respect.

If it is not about the clothes then why do we run the risk of ridicule, laughter, and a trip to the house of pain, if we choose to wear a skirt in public and NOT present as a woman? Why is it in the forums concerning men in skirts there are droves of women saying "I think it is great as long as it is not MY man"?

I do wonder how the women wearing jeans would have fared had the internet existed in those times. I wonder how many men would look at a woman in jeans of that time and gafaw at it, like I have seen some women do when it comes to men wearing leggings in place of jeans.
