Welcome to Gaia! ::

In day-to-day life it seems to be more acceptable for women to do it, mainly because "mens" clothes, like trousers (or pants for you yanks xp ) are found in the womens section, and skirts are never found in the mens.

But is women wearing mens clothes these days considered cross dressing? Do women that do wear mens clothes consider themselves to be cross dressers?

It seems to be a common place thing for lesbians todo mind you...

becuase socity has silly standards ive noticed myself thast its uber common for alternative men to crossdress ...mainly cuase its more readyly acepted i think.?..but it is very silly!!
i think some young men look damn fine! in a nice black skirt but then again ima werid tomboy and find androngeny atractive

I wear men's clothes, but they usually look like women's clothing on me, especially since I don't like my clothes to be baggy. I don't think it really counts as cross-dressing in this case. As for men, I see nothing wrong with wearing whatever they find comfortable. It's a shame that men can't usually do that though... unless they're Scottish. Kilts ftw.

I think one of the reasons for this is that men are more likely to be picked on by fellow males if they show signs of femininity, as it's seen as "weakness." When it's women, if anything, we're seen as more masculine, and that actually deters other females from picking on us for simply cross-dressing.

Straight girls wear guy type clothes, but it seems common place and practical. Straight guys wearing a dress/skirt seems more like a joke than a serious outfit. I mean normally dresses and skirts look too feminine for them to wear in my opinion. Maybe if they looked more suited for a typical guys body type then it wouldn't seem so weird. It just doesn't seem practical for straight guys to wear heels and a skirt for the reasons that girls might...or in the same way.

I think people can wear whatever they want though.

on that note a kilt is not a skirt its a Scottish tradition thing!
i think cross dressing guy should only do so if there feminine looking to begin with. i however and under the opinion that all non chunky heeled shoes(stilettos or those other scarwny heels) are just evil and damn dangerous. so i wud recommended never waring them. but that is just my opinion i hope one day we can all wear wtf we want.

Haha but the skirt is so cute! xp It's funny when it happens mind you, but I don't wear it often

i'm sorry but I have to disagree with this: "When it's women, if anything, we're seen as more masculine, and that actually deters other females from picking on us for simply cross-dressing"

Where I live, cross dressing is frowned upon. And when I was in high school we wore uniforms, not like school girl type uniforms just certain colored bottoms and polo shirts. Anyways my point. What I wore and how I kept/keep my hair makes me look like someones pretty boy boyfriend, and I stayed hearing crap from folks, mainly the other girls. So you can't nessicarily say that everywhere women who cross dress are also accepted.

((ugh my spelling skill sucks. So sorry for any misspelling))

I would've considered myself a crossdresser for a while. I wore mostly boys clothes everyday. I've changed this habit though to be more socially accepted. For example... Tonight's the homecoming dance and I just wanna wear suit. Cocktail dresses aren't my style.
