What is your name?
Eugene
Where are you from?
Tennessee
Which types of gender non-conforming clothing do you enjoy wearing?
Skirts, dresses, leggings, tights/pantyhose, tank tops/cami, panties (all kinds) knee socks, jumpers, shorts…..
When did you start wearing gender non-conforming clothing?
I started wearing panties at an early age. I started wearing skirts and camisole’s when I was in my teens.
How did you start wearing gender non-conforming clothing and why?
I grew up with older female siblings and cousins and it looked good on them and I wanted to look good also.
What is your motivation now for putting on gender non-conforming clothing?
To feel better about myself. It’s about the only time I feel comfortable.
How often do you wear gender non-conforming clothing?
When I’m home mostly. I do wear leggings in the winter under my pants at work because it keeps me warm and also no one can see them. I also wear panties every day.
Do you go out in public dressed in gender non-conforming clothes? If not, why not? If so, how often and where do you go? Are there any places you wouldn’t go?
I’ve only worn “women’s” shorts out in public a few times because I wouldn’t be noticed as much. Where I live it wouldn’t be a good idea to wear anything else in public because I live in the south.
Do you find it hard to go out in public in gender non-conforming clothes?
Yes!!
Do your family or friends know about how you dress?
My wife knows and she supports me and knows that I want to be out in public and can’t. She also likes to buy me things to wear around the house. I also have a daughter that knows.
Are there people you don’t want to know about it?
Yes
Does your partner accept your clothing choices?
Yes
What is your favorite style?
Skirt/dress with hose and a tank top
Where do you shop for your clothes?
Mostly online or thrift stores
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I wish that I could be more able to go out in public and not be gawked at for wearing what makes me feel comfortable in.
Thank you for sharing, Eugene!

Eugene, time to get out of Tennessee! Why live where the culture is so repressive?
Agreed!
Huh, is South really that awful to live in? Based on stories of various guys who just want to wear skirts, it sounds like the vestibule of hell, where you have to be maximum “ordinary” to stay alive.
It depends on where you live and the people you know, but as someone with a lot of family in the South, I can say that they generally arch conservative and there isn’t much room for deviating from the norm.
