The "man in a skirt" phenomenon

[kendra_gurl]

Hostile actions or Agendas are not my nature. What I notice so far seems to be discussion about those who do verses those who don't. There really is no right or wrong in this thread and we don't even need to choose sides Rhonda's example of her experience demonstrated the difference some CD's have from others and how they affect each other.

The OP stated the following which I would like her to elaborate on. Help us understand your point of view.

Not only is it incorrect to state that men in skirts are out to shock the general public or are harmful to the CDTG community it also could not be further from the truth! .

The venom and hostility towards this idea of a “man in a skirt” is just a lack of understanding. .

Krisi, I would suggest that it is because they are NOT trying to pass as female. .

Jennifer sure they are not trying to pass as female but that is no answer as to why are they wearing a skirt in male mode if not to shock or draw attention.

If a woman were writing this, she may write, "I am curious why a man would walk around town in a skirt." It's just perspective.

If you understand why a woman would write that why can you not understand why some CD's have the same question?

I get a very different message from this thread. The agenda I see is those that don't dress our way need to get with the program. They need to conform to the proper way of cross dressing. I don't see "the man in the skirt" trying to make you conform. I see them arguing for their right to exist.

I agree with their right to exist. I just want to understand their reason. Even you in the next quote state you do not do this while in public without trying to blend

I wear women's clothing without fully presenting. I have an everyday wardrobe of jeans and tops and such. All semi androgynous. A dude wouldn't realize I'm wearing from the women's section but a woman probably would. If I'm wearing a dress or skirt and leaving the house I need to do my best to blend. Hug
