    As long as you are comfortable with your own sexuality what does it matter what others may think? Unfortunately our society has not yet come to terms with men wearing ostensibly female garments and the likes of leather kilts etc. appear about as ambivalent to them as going out in a floral patterned frock. Unfortunately unless it becomes a mainstream fashion it will always be thus.

    I agree. I've never been concerned what other people think, I'm just having a hard time understanding the mindset of someone who can take a decidedly manly garment and twist it's intended use like that I have seen any number of women wearing men's clothing, in particular, tuxedos, etc, and I never, ever considered it to be cross-dressing. It's just a woman in a tuxedo. But, then again, I'm not hung up like some people.

    That's my position. Personally, I would have no problem wearing, say, a pink kilt (pink was a masculine colour until 1940's); to be quite frank, I don't give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys what the masses think of me. Same with my girlfriend.

    However, I find myself more often than not keeping the peace with my and her families. Oh well, it's the only family I've got, might as well not get thrown out .
