Dresses Are Not For Me

[Guest cerise]

On another thread I said that my stages after deciding to transition was like going through a second adolescence (only this time female) with all the awkwardness disfunction and building/rebuilding of self that comes with it .

Although when I was in my teens I used to try dresses ( because they were there ) during transition in the last 3 years my foray into skirts has been fleeting and after reading about the Espirt Gala in Port Angeles I thought if I ever went I would wear a pantsuit or leggings of some kind .

For me I like attractive pants and tights for bottoms as well as capris . It is not that I have an opinion about dress's it is just that I don't think dress's suit me .

( As well I do not wear that much makeup but have gone through stages of wearing mascara et al and i know how to use it . I wear makeup when i present male but it is only to enhance and I would know if I used too much if anybody said anything about it .)

My daughter is the same way as she bought a dress when she got her job and wore it a few times and I latter found it in a ball in her room.

She did however wear a geisha dress for grad that she looked great in .

Maybe it's just the right dress?

Aside from that I was around when the debate was on as to whether girls should be allowed to wear pants to school or not .

Some principals felt that girls should dress like girls ie wear dress's .

Needless to say reason prevailed and the arcane practice of mandatory dress wearing came to an end.

Girls who wore pants could have been seen as cross dressing back then.

I would have been one of them .

Hmmmm

Goodnight
