Gender Blending: Is it Wrong?

[tstew]

This is from another site:

Because the simple fact is, a skirt is comfortable!
Nothing more, nothing less.
Perhaps more so for a man due to our anatomy.
In my case, and I can only speak for myself, I do NOT want to look like a woman,
any more than a woman in trousers wants to look like a man!
Therefore this site is intended to encourage and support those men out there who have the courage to wear whatever they like,........... much as the ladies do, and have done since the 1920's.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Throughout this site the word "Skirt" is used as a generic term,
so it includes any garment that only has ONE LEG!

(Something that skirts the body)

For instance,

Kilts, Lunghi,Sarong,Kikoi,Pareo,Sulu, Galabeya's or even Skirts

I am not intending to upset the Celts by including Kilts, but it keeps it simple.
Although in my humble opinion a kilt is the most uncomfortable of those listed due to the pleats, They may add to the aesthetics and cause a kilt to sway when you walk, but try sitting down!
For many men Kilts are the prefered option as they are traditional celtic masculine attire and worn by, Irish, Cornish, Scots, oh, and Americans getting in touch with their roots,
So no need to put on a deep voice and accentuate your masculinity as in a kilt it is never in doubt.
This site is NOT about crossdressing!
Not that I have anything against a person of either gender
who want to pass themselves off as the other, but that is not what this site is about.
This is simply a support site for men who feel comfortable in a "Skirt".
Ladies can wear mens Jeans, shirts, Sweaters etc, yet I have never heard them referred to as crossdressing.funny that, eh?
Do you think that they could be trying to get in touch with their masculine side?
It seems that the constraints placed on "acceptable" male attire are a bit unfair!

I could wear an earring, nipple ring and have rings in other parts of my anatomy that just doesn't bear thinking about!

I can wear all sorts of "Bling".

Neck chains or pendants, wrist chains and rings.

Given that I had some hair, I could have a pony tail, or hair like Francis Rossi

( Just wish I could play a guitar like him)

Any of these would be perceived as expressing my individuality, or at worst eccentricity.

Put on a skirt! Well, Have I "turned"?....

Am I wearing a Bra? My sexuality is called into question!

( Not that it's any of your ****** business, but I am:

Old and Straight with a face like a Prune).



I hate to admit this, but I remember the '70's.
Guy's then were seen in Kaftans etc, flared jeans and flowery shirts.

Sadly the era of the "male peacock" has gone!

All we have now is the "grey man".


In many parts of the world a loose skirt type garment
is normal male attire and the reason is mainly comfort!

There are the Fijians with the Sulu, Indians with the Lunghi,

The Egyptians with the Galabeya.



If you think in Anatomical terms, for men to have a centre seam is illogical,
why would you want to wear something that is trying to cut you in half?
We go on about healthy eating, preventing all sorts of things like High Cholesterol,
testicular cancer etc.

What about healthy clothing?
Now I wouldn't dare to claim that wearing a skirt will prevent testicular cancer,
but it's a bloody good excuse!
The feeling of comfort has to be tried to be believed.
As far as I know it is not illegal for men to wear skirts, providing a level of modesty is preserved,

Perhaps we are looking for acceptance from our fellow humans in the western world.



Speaking for myself, I have had all sorts of reactions from sly grins to wholehearted support.

So far, nobody has actually thrown anything at me.



So if you haven't tried one, before you call me names ,can I suggest you try it at least once,

I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
