Diane, you can wear dresses and skirts. And so can I, and Caitlyn, and any female-identified person there is, no matter their birth sex. Even CDers can wear skirts!There's just a difference between the types of dresses and skirts that people can choose from, for example a skirt you'd wear to the office party vs a skirt you'd wear on a hot date when you really want to impress the guy you're with.
And Eryn, if Caitlyn had come out on the Vanity Fair cover wearing any of the outfits in the picture you posted and striking any of the poses like any of the ladies in that picture, I would not have suggested that she tone it down a little.
I think it may be best at this point to just adopt a wait and see attitude with Caitlyn, and see how she does in her personal life and how she progresses on her show. I like her a lot, I love that she wants to let the world know how difficult it is for TSs, and I sincerely hope that she reaches all her goals. I also hope that the people in the day-to-day world who do not "get" Caitlyn will change their attitudes about her and begin to take her for her authentic self, as time wears on ... since these are precisely the people that CJ wants to reach. She is out there sharing her knowledge with the people who do judge TSs negatively. CJ doesn't need to educate the people who would hire TSs, rent them apartments, or the parents who already support their TS kids.
