Out of interest, which shops did you use where you tried the clothes on?

Sorry, but it’s a bit offensive and invalidating.

men+skirt (does not equal sign here) weird pronouns

The romans though pants were gay.

What? Seriously?

ASOS have a few items in that are marketed as genderless, such as this: https://www.asos.com/reclaimed-vintage/reclaimed-vintage-genderless-maxi-skirt-in-black-nylon/prd/205208974?currencyid=1&browsecountry=GB&affid=28280&_EAIaIQobChMI1_furdrLggMVR8XtCh2HZA7oEAQYAiABEgK1pPD_BwE&chann...

It’s nothing new to see gender non-conforming pieces on the catwalk. What nobody has been able to do is take it from the catwalk to the high street. Although some retailers are marketing gender diverse ranges, they are mostly very expensive therefore prohibitive. So it doesn’t become mainstream. I h...

He was getting attention he didn’t feel comfortable with in the black one before he changed into what’s sounds like fancy dress!! I thought the first look was pretty conservative and wouldn’t attract the attention it did.

An interesting piece with a different slant. The guy felt like all eyes were on him and wasn’t a fun experience:

The problem with this is people checking the length of the girls skirts. This is wrong on so many levels. I don't think this has anything to do with men wearing skirts, but a basic violation in trying to determine if a hemline is acceptable.

Here is Aida H Dee in full story hour regalia: Everybody should get a grip. It's ok. The skin-tight pants, the bulge, and the hyper-aggressive "lean-in" posture? OK? She is looking enthusiastic, trying to engage the kids and make the story fun. Her outfit is bright colourful, and somewhat...

I’m intrigued! What is different about the way men who are shopping for themselves look through the dresses? And I guess if you say you don’t need a gift receipt, which I never do, suggests it’s for ourselves?

The diagnoses of Fetishistic Transvestism and Dual Role Transvestism have been abandoned in ICD-11 and those are no longer valid diagnoses.

The term transvestite is not used any longer in psychiatry where the WHO ICD-11 is adopted.

In my lifetime, I have seen one male in a skirt who isn’t in fancy dress. I’ve been around these boards, not posting often, for the best part of two decades. There’s been no change TBH. The same views get aired, and people feel like it’s gaining traction. “Will this be the year?” is asked every year...

Jamie is right. This is a conversation that needs to place. Clothes have no gender, but are associated with a gender. To change the views of the majority, it needs to become mainstream. Companies have tried and failed. Anyone remember the H&M men’s skirt from around 2003? The main problem is tha...

A first for me!! Sitting in a restaurant tonight with the family, in my home town, saw a young lad wearing a skirt. He was a kind of gothic style guy, late teens/eariy-20’s. He was wearing a black, flared jacquard midi-skirt. This was only the second time I’ve seen a guy in a skirt in public, and th...

Sound a bit of a nightmare!! Did you not just put your new dress on? What is a “leather big skirt”?
