This is the story of how I went from going into the office every day owning only one skirt and one pair of heels to working at home full-time and owning a closet full of gender-non-conforming clothes.
I decided to perform a little experiment to see if people react differently to seeing a man wear two different types of skirts in public. This is how it went.
This is one of those mundane experiences that wouldn’t normally be noteworthy if I hadn’t been wearing a skirt when it happened. I met an elderly neighbor wearing a skirt.
I spent a week working at a customer’s headquarters wearing heeled boots and enjoyed it with every step I took.
A couple of weeks ago, my mom borrowed one of my skirts and a pair of tights from me for a baptism. It was a surreal experience.
This is a story about an experience I had about two years ago when I was first starting my journey into gender-non-conforming clothing. It was one of my first experiences in public in clothes that did not come from the men’s section.
Today’s experience was a small encounter with an older couple who were going for a walk that occurred last summer.
Most people don’t care if you, as a man, wear a skirt in public. It might feel like they do, but most really don’t.
I hope all of you had a great holiday season! I am finally back from my travels abroad and have some great new ideas for articles that I want to write. I also got a great new skirt.
Why is there the perception amongst the uninformed that men are just wearing gender-non-conforming clothes for their own sexual pleasure?
