Sorry, Karen, couldn't resist. xxxx
Serious reply. As a bi-woman, I have no 'problem' with any gender variation. If you look better in stockings than me I may get a tad green-eyed. LOL
I overheard some colleagues (male) talking about a guy at work who went the full way with gender reassignment and their reactions were a master-class in insecure, hetero males trying (and frankly failing) to deal with something that they didn't understand. It's not so much what they said (mostly about what do you call them, which loos do they use ffs) but the tone. It was quite obvious that they were most concerned about what the other guys in the group would think of them during the conversation. I found it hilarious.
I know that face to face they would be perfectly civil, but they would be sweating with worry about what their male 'mates' would be thinking.
The only thing that will change that kind of thing is exposure - as people get used to seeing a wider variety of gender options around them, they will become more comfortable about it.
Personally I love the bit in To Wong Foo (if you haven't seen it - you must Patrick Swayze is to die for!!) where he says to his (absent) mother. "Your approval is neither desired nor required, I will take your acceptance." I LOVE that quote.
TY Sarah,I had same sort of experience,I went to Eastbourne on a Transliving Weekend,8 of us teamed up at meal times etc,all the time dressed as girls then on the final morning I was only girl at breakfast it was a shock,but a funny
The transformation can be so amazing,and a tribute to the girlsfor the effort they put into
Ty Sandy,your legs are lovely,keep opening them xxxxx
Karen, have you considered a trip to Manchester for Sparkle?
Fabulous weekend!
Now then, I am not a cross dresser, or transvestite, or whatever the current terminology is, but I am a person who enjoys... shall we say... specialist clothing.
an ever so slight leaning towards the rubbery/latex end of the aisle.
so, in mylove of latex, and what it does for me I have over the years tried and enjoyed some garments that ordinarily would have been considered for the female. Which I'm not. Nor do I feel I wish to be.
However, wearing latex and with a 'fetish' mindset using clothing styles that ordinarily would be feminine, I have discovered something that I really rather enjoy.. and it has indeed been rather a confidence booster.
I had a little black dress,that I genuinely braught thinking it was a vest... when worn to it's full length (still very short!) it helped me to 'feel' extremely sexy... something I wouldn't think of myself in the day-to-day. So further within this latex/fetish arena I have tried stockings, suspenders, leggings and catsuit...
None of this, in my case, is done to become or feel feminine, though when I dress in this manner I feel it gives me a glimpse of wat itmay feel like to be a female in the sence of a desirable and attractive physical form.
So that is my slant on this subject, within this 'fetish' area of rubber and latex, I am not averse to wearing some generally thought of as female clothing, though I am not attempting to 'be' or 'appear' female. (making sence yet?)
This is the that started it... it felt jolly nice too. It's alittle damaged.
