this is far beyond gender.
Males are styled to be boring, girls to be pretty.
the fact that a man can get married, work, and buried in the same suit is depressing as fuck.
men need to feel pretty too.
They used to refer to this ideology as “Metrosexual - Gay in the streets, straight in the sheets.”
stupid ass name, remember that.
what if men took a bit if care about their hygiene.
MEW SEXUALITY ALERT!!!
That’s what people in 2004 told you metrosexual was. That’s not what it actually is
But at least we get pockets.
ok, how about we share pocket tech with women in exchange for wing tip eye makeup?
Blame Beau Brummel for that one.

Why does everyone bring up purple shirts. I wore those nobody cares!
gonna have to downvote you for sharing such a cancerous website, sorry mate. I can’t condone that shit without disclaimers
Sounds like someone is raw doggin’ the internet. That’s never a good idea.
Karl Stefanovic told Fairfax News Media in Australia that he donned the same blue Burberry knockoff day in and day out on Channel Nine’s “Today” program to illustrate the double standard dealt against his female colleagues, who are regularly criticized for their fashion choices.

I feel exactly the same.
Why are we redefining someone else’s gender for them instead of redefining what it means to be a man? Normalize make up and ‘girl clothes’ for men. Normalize looking pretty for men. Regardless if someone declares themselves trans or cis, believe them.
exactly.
I’d like to wear makeup without being accused of being gay (i am gay but not because I like makeup)
I’d like to wear dresses without being accused of being drag (I’m not even sure what that means)
I’d like to be pretty without being called weak (i can bench press your mother)
people should be allowed to be who they are.
The only person who can tell a person what their gender is is that person themselves. Even if it’s obvious to everyone around them, it’s not one’s job to dictate to another something that personal.
I’m a guy but I was made an honorary girl once, way back in high school, so that I could attend an all-girls sleepover party. I was assigned the name “Isabelle”.
(No, we didn’t do anything inappropriate.)
Butters?
Maybe Margirine.
how did it feel?
Sorry, but my answer is going to be boring. This happened before transgender issues started getting a lot of attention, so I just thought it was funny and naughty. I wasn’t thinking about gender identity. Now I don’t feel like my gender is a big part of who I am, so I also don’t feel a strong reaction (either positive or negative) to the idea of having a different gender. I do think I would look terrible dressed as a woman - I don’t have the elegant androgynous sort of male body.
At one point the girls (or should I say “the other girls”) were holding me down and trying to put makeup on me, but I wriggled loose. I do regret that a little, not because I wish I had had makeup on but because I think that if I had been less self-conscious back then, I would have had more fun and better stories to tell too. I was so self-conscious that it overwhelmed even my teenage hormonal desire to let a bunch of women holding me down do whatever they wanted to do to me.
Have you ever worn women’s clothes outside that, or wanted to? How has it felt if you did?
No, but your question reminds me of how before puberty, I wanted to play video games as a male character (girls had cooties) but after puberty I often prefer to play as a female character. I still play RPGs as a male (I suppose it helps me get in character, plus romance subplots feel weird otherwise) but in other games I usually choose female characters because they’re prettier (not necessarily in a sexual way). I liked paying Guild Wars because many of the women’s outfits were just gorgeous. One character class went into battle wearing my choice of fancy dress. That was fun.
(The Guild Wars graphics look a lot worse than I remembered. They seemed really good back then.)
This is adorable
Wouldn’t this just be considered cross dressing? Not sure if the language has evolved there though.
Now I’m thinking of Eddie Izzard.
Edit: ok now I’m really out of date I didn’t know she goes by Suzy now. I legit thought she was cis
Izzard identifies as genderfluid[94][95] and calls herself “somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish”.[18] She uses the word “transgender” as an umbrella term.[96] When asked in 2019 what pronouns she preferred, Izzard responded, “either ‘he’ or ‘she’” and explained, “If I am in boy mode, then ‘he’, or girl mode, ‘she’”.[97] In 2020, she requested she/her pronouns for an appearance on the TV show Portrait Artist of the Year and said she wants “to be based in girl mode from now on”.[98] In March 2023, she announced that she would begin using the name Suzy in addition to Eddie, saying that she is “going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard”.[2][1] Explaining that she had wanted to use the name Suzy since she was 10 years old, she added that people “can choose” which name they want to use to refer to her,[1][2] and that she would keep using Eddie Izzard as her public name since it is more widely recognised.[99]

for the lazy ^
FTR, I have seen Eddie/Suzy at multiple shows, and s/he has said that “Eddie” is fine, but prefers Suzy.
Yea cross dressing is still a popular thing, with this greentext joke ignores. Though a lot of closeted trans women would also be extatic at the situation presented here.
Also! Woa! I didn’t know that! Good for her good for her
Isn’t that literally crossdressing? Someone enjoying dressing up as the opposing gender, yet being cis otherwise? For example, just because they like the aesthetic, or because it is a fetish for them?
“still cis tho” is used a lot in trans places as a joke for trans people in denial, which i think is what this is poking at
Fair, I admit I am not hanging out in those places that often. Kids these days and their language, man. Get off my lawn!
Reminds me of when I used to go to my friend’s house and dress up in her clothes and have a threesome with her boyfriend.
I’m a straight cis male though.
Thank you for your wise words, SatansMaggotyCumFart
Twist: op is a girl on the internet.
Obviously fake, no anon has a girl friend of any type.
Sounds like gender euphoria: being totally fine with your assigned gender but feeling much better in a different one
It’s still Cis if you keep the man-socks on
The super manly programming socks hehe :3
Makes sense. I’ve been told that taking off the socks is what makes it gay to give the homies a smooch. So I cannot find fault in this logic.
What do they say? The socks make the secks
clearly says they’re cis there, fox /j
MF a bigger egg than an ostriches.
I also want a friend like that.
