I agree that’s insane. Maybe I just have good parents that let me play dress up, but you’ve been transitioning for years, right? How? Anyway, some skirts are pretty great. Skorts may have pockets. A long sleeve shirt can supply your pockets. I have a few dresses with pockets. Some of my shorts don’t have pockets or I don’t trust them biking anyway, so I sometimes wear a fanny pack. I get why you [seem to be] such a good butch if you’ve barely stuck your toes into “fem” stuff.

Almost ten. Ever consider that someone might not want to or wouldn't feel comfortable?

I guess most times it wouldn't matter, if I'm out I've got my purse and if I'm working on something at home I'm wearing sweats. I was advised to get a fanny pack actually.

why you [seem to be] such a good butch

Did I just get diagnosed butch? brow also is it really "barely stuck your toes into fem stuff" if I don't wear skirts? Are skirts required to be fem?

I mean, I'm not much of a fan of skirts and uncomfortable trying on clothes from the women's section, and I've still at least tried a skirt in a store like a year before touching HRT, if for no other reason than the meme. So kinda surprising someone who is a lot more confidence with that kind of thing didn't at least try one on at some point earlier.

One of my eariest photos post-starting-hrt is me holding up a gothy skirt in a changing room and eyeing it suspiciously. I did not trust it basically. I don't do memes comfy-cool except sometimes lel

I was just confident dressing in jeans I guess, so between that and being incapable of tucking, I just became trousers gang. I did wear a dress to prom but that's all, I do a kind of futch thing.

Ack, am I unintentionally being offensive again? I just say the quickest way to say things sometimes and it’s not always post-gender-pilled.

Ever consider that someone might not want to or wouldn't feel comfortable?

Yeah, not everyone likes skirts and I can imagine someone less lucky than me not having the confidence to try something at a thrift shop or hand-me-down. I just think it’s “a pity” that you haven’t had the chance until now to see if you like it.

Did I just get diagnosed butch?

No, you’re gay right? And your tank top/jacket/pants makes me think “banger butch fit.”

Are skirts required to be fem?

No, dresses and skirts are just traditional feminine clothes. You can be “feminine” in other ways, it just, again, surprises me you haven’t had the opportunity to try it.

Sorry if I’m somehow still offensive.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well you can find solace in that this isn't even the most appalling gaffe I've seen on this subject, lol.

that you haven’t had the chance until now

I've lived on my own since 2019 and been out to my parents for over a decade, just never seen a skirt I really liked and no reason to search for one. So no pity really :)

Uh yeah and I guess that would maybe be butch, maybe but not if you have curly hair down to your ass and a slight, effeminate form y'know?

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

There’s a lot of skirts I don’t like anyway, but luckily I like the stereotypical trans flowy ones and adjacent. If that’s not your thing, cool.

Yeah, I meant your clothing style was butch, I didn’t mean to apply it to your whole being.

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Ashs' clothing isn't very butch can confirm ^^
