"Are you a woman!"

[Robin414]

I've been watching way too many hate videos on you tube lately and they're starting to have a real negative impact (yah, I'm sticking to Robot Chicken exclusively now). I've never experienced any negative response and have no reason to expect to based on my personal experience. Sure, I'll fight ya, but I'd much rather avoid ya or just smile politely and walk away from ya ☺

Haven't you noticed that people feel much more motivated to express negative reactions than neutral ones?

The millions of people who are neutral about TGs aren't going to post long rants about being neutral. :p But the small percentage who object strongly do feel motivated to do so because of their outrage and so the rest of us get the impression these videos reflect society's overall reactions.

They do not.

there is a thrill but it is not a sexual one and it is refreshingly different to feel the breeze on your legs.

Yes, a lot of members here feel like you do. It is thrilling, but not in a sexual way. But still, it is still a thrill.

These clothes thrill many women but not in a sexual way

Do we get a thrill out of wearing nice clothes? I wouldn't put it that way at all. We may dress-up for a variety of reasons ... in some circumstances it is to attract a mate (sexy clothes), in others to impress a boss (showing how professional we are), in others it might be to show our economic status (expensive designer fashions), and many times it is simply to conform to the media's benchmark for beauty, based on all the ads, catalogs, and other media we see. I suppose a lot of people (men and women) want to show themselves in the best light possible, appropriate to whichever situation they might be in. And certainly when we're alone or just going to the grocery store, we don't dress up. But do we feel a thrill when we put on a new outfit for whatever purpose? I don't think so. We may look in the mirror and feel good about looking nice for the event we are about to attend (just like my son recently ... he went to a wedding and was wearing a great suit that made him look so dapper and he felt good about the way he looked) ... but a thrill? No.

I'm wondering if the thrill you feel is more about the fact that you're wearing female clothes? Do you feel the same thrill when you're dressed nicely as a man?
