It's curious to me how some nomenclatures are so controversial. Even in Reine's definitions, there is a wide variety of descriptions.

While in male mode, if one referred to me as sissy, I would be nonplused and offended. However, I have always wanted the satin dress with Peter Pan collar, puffy sleeves, poofy skirt, etc. Even better would be my wife and I BOTH dressed in such outfits. Does that make me sissy? Well, maybe in that role. Fetish? Of course. Sissy? depends on your definition. I was a real ass kicker when I was young. I didn't take s&)t off of anybody.

I knew a girl that was nicknamed "sissy" and she really was; just the kind of dressing I find so erotic. She didn't find it offensive at all.

Are we today too wrapped up in labels? So and so is racist! So and so is homophobic! So and so is anti-Islamic! I threw up a little, but swallowed hard. Sorry. If you're too frikkin' offended by the "sissy" label, maybe you're a sissy at heart because you get easily offended by such an innocuous and unspecific and ambiguous word.
