Have you ever tried cross-dressing?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm a drag king in local theatre.

I like to cross dress on occasion because I feel more comfortable that way and I can go outside without feeling vulnerable and getting constantly sexually harassed.

I am not cross dressing. I am being myself. :]

Actually I am not sure if you can call it cross dressing or not. I am usually wearing gender neutral clothes and I don't really mind wearing clothes for the opposite sex.
The shoes I am usually wearing are clearly male ones(bought in male section of CCC because all female ones were uncomfortable, do I have male feet?), same with my jeans. I combine it with a simple tank top (which looks feminine on me due to my body build, although I don't have big breasts) and some kind of hoodie(unisex) or a "nerd" check shirt(male).
The only real way I can cross dress is hairstyle. Currently I am keeping it simple - a pony tail - which makes me look feminine(not girly though) but a while back I was having a short haircut that combined with my clothes made me look like a teenage boy.

I avoid girly clothes, accessories and hairstyles. If I am wearing them I feel uncomfortable and not proper. As if I were crossdressing. This is stupid. What does it make me?

I only wear men's clothes (well, besides the bra, for obvious reasons...) so technically I'm always cross-dressing. To be honest I feel like in drag when I wear a dress or other women's clothes, so I refuse to do that since I'm 3 or 4. I never had a problem because of that, also not at work. As far as I can tell it's not a big deal, I never get harrased or anything like that. I get mistaken for a guy sometimes since I also wear short hair but that's not something that bothers me. It actually can be quite nice to get mistaken for a young guy instead of being rated as the nearly middle-aged women that I am. It's always funny if I have to Show my ID to proof that I'm not under aged when I buy alcohol. On the other hand people are just stupid sometimes. I can wear an undershirt with a cleavage and people still mistake me as a guy. I mean, seriously?

When I was in middle school and high school, we had a designated girl/boy switch day when we dressed as the opposite gender. Some people went all out for it. I wonder if they still do that. I doubt it...

Technically, I cross-dress for work.

I have.
It felt right so I did it. XD

I crossdress all the time. Sure is fun! Where I live there's not much to buy for accessories so I had to make my own...I always wanted princess jewelry, LOL.

I'm going out to the gay club dressed up next week!

Yes.

It was pleasant.

I carried on.

Now at 53 happily genderqueer.

I personally tend to wear male clothing over the typical female clothes in general. I usually fill my wardrobe with clothes I find in the men's section at Walmart and thrift stores. With bouncing between having a mini-fro and hardly any hair makes me come off looking like a boy.

My wardrobe isn't really spectacular though, but I would enjoy getting some bondage and phat pants along with hoodies and more tees that look something like this:

I tend to crossdress a lot at home. In public, I do crossdress sometimes, but it tends to seem more subtle since when I am completely shaven, I do appear rather feminine and people tend to view me as "metro" or effeminate in appearance but not outright crossdressing. Additionally I am not clearly one way or the other in behavior. I can show empathy (though it used to be hard to empathize for me) but at the same time I like a lot of guy stuff (bacon, guns, gaming, etc.).

Also, Blonde Alien talks about oppressive Christianity. You mean evangelicals and catholics. I am a Hickite quaker, we are Christians and we are accepting of LGBT folk as long as they are for pacifism and liberty. If you are an angry authoritarian, you wont find much sympathy from quakers no matter if you are LGBT or not, unless you are actually going to act like a civilized person.

I like to experiment with my look a lot so when I had a buzz cut I proper enjoyed looking androgynous. I felt empowered not being gendered into a single category

It's harder to do with long hair but I still like it
