Cross-Dressing????

[rollerboy_1979]

I have been a member of XMarks for awhile, and I have seen mentions of the term "cross dressing". How in God's name can anyone consider wearing a kilt cross dressing? That just boggles my mind. How can so manly a garment be looked at as anything else? You would have to be crazy to look at a man in a kilt, especially a traditional ensemble with the kilt hose, flashes, sporran, etc, etc, and consider that effeminate. Any guy who makes that remark to a kilted man must be insecure himself. The phrase, "It takes a real man to wear a kilt" is so true. Luckily, no one has had the nerve to even infer that I may be attempting to "cross dress" by wearing my kilt. If someone ever did, I'd probably say, "No, if I were really cross dressing, I'd be wearing nylons and stiletto heels, moron!". Has anyone ever been accused of cross-dressing? If so, what was your response.
Thanks,
RB

Someone tried to say that people might think I was crossdressing if I wore solid color kilts once. It really is crazy and kind of hateful. I know a couple of crossdressers, and they ar trying to look like "women" with a female shape. unless you're taping on foam rubber hips and breasts, then putting on eye liner or make-up or something, it's just a snide comment to say a kilt has anything to do with crossdressing.

You're preaching to the converted there, RB.

What makes them think that is sartorial dogma; they believe that skirts are women's clothes, end of story, no more discussion, "nyah nyah nyah can't hear you." Like all dogma, it requires an epiphany to break it.

I have been, and here's what I look like:





I looked over myself and asked "What in the name of the Gods looks even remotely feminine about me?"

Easy answer to that- Irish kilts (belted tunics) and the variety the Roman legions (the most successful and feared military in history) were solid colors. So were the greatest warriors in European history a bunch of cross dressing fearies? Somehow I don't think so.

That's true for the most part Nighthawk. We'll just over look the Greeks.

Oh, thank goodness. I was worried that you might be Greek. Just joking, nothing matters to me anyway.
