Crossdressing

This is like the LGBT thread, except for crossdressing. Discuss away!

A moderator note that any discussion about the sexual implications of crossdressing, or having a fetish for doing it or observing it or encouraging it, should be taken to the Fetishes thread.

This is also not a thread to express one's disgust or distaste. Such posts will be thumped. If this isn't your thing, don't post.

That said, carry on!

Not all crossdressing is for the purpose of passing, though. It could also be for the purposes of subverting gender expectations, or simply because you like to.

I have a question, how is non-sexual crossdressing defined?

Dutch Lesbian

Is there any particular reason why you haven't tried it? I mean, I know I haven't because I lack a steady enough income flow to afford to buy my own clothes, and my parents don't want to get me any dresses... Or, any other women's clothing...

I have been known to attend parties in a little black dress if the invitation is carelessly worded, just for shits and giggles. My wife thinks this the funniest thing ever.

Oh, I see. Makes sense. I mean, my parents were kind of weirded out when I told them about it, but either they didn't believe I'd actually do it, or they'd be fine with me doing it... Quite possibly both...

@Inverurie: I'm reminded of my senior prom, where not one but two couples swapped outfits halfway through the night, and a close reading of the rules of prom meant the Principal*

couldn't do anything to them.

I've never given serious consideration to cross-dressing, mostly because a 6' guy with stubble and a belly is not attractive in a dress - though he might be in a kilt.

I don't think that wearing a kilt would exactly count as crossdressing, for guys, since kilts are men's clothing...

I actually had a female friend who did go to prom in a suit...

Yeah, no one made that big a deal about it either... Of course, our group had a MtF transgendered kid who went to prom in a dress, and everyone was congratulating her, so I don't think anyone in my group really cared enough to make a fuss about it, and, if they cared, they were more likely to take her side, anyways...

I know, but I do find it a tad bit silly, since kilts are really unigender clothing.

Hey now, there's plenty of chicks who look really hot in tuxedos. Also, Utena Tenjou.

Oh, I see.

I'm so sorry... *Hugs.*

Actually, kilts are generally menswear. The only time you'll really see women in kilts is if they are members of a pipe band or engaged in Country/Highland dancing.

A tartan skirt is just a tartan skirt, it's not a kilt.

To the uninformed, though, a tartan skirt can look rather like a kilt, even though it's not (completely different cut and stuff).

Yes, but the kilt was intended for men, just like jeans were, originally, and my point still stands, wearing a kilt isn't really crossdressing, for a man...

Oh, I hope that goes- Wait. Do you intend to have a closet full of suits? Because, that would be LEGEN- wait for it.... -DARY! Legendary!
