You've featured German pre-WW1 femulators in two straight days. If you or your readers have ever read the book "Gay Berlin", you'll recognize Germany was originally the leader in transgender visibility: books about crossdressing as early as 1910, while in the 20s Berlin had both crossdressing magazines and nightclubs. Of course all that progress disappeared in the horrors of the 1930s.
For me trousers (pants) are strictly for going out in public when it is cold. I wear dresses almost exclusively for warm weather, which in the DFW, Texas area is most of the year. And yes, I wear dresses to church. And I make no effort to sound like a woman when I talk while wearing dresses as I border on being a basso profundo.

ReplyDeleteIn female mode I always wear skirts or dresses, I would do the same in male mode if I could

I've only worn male-sold-pants twice this year, from jeans to cords to leggings to shorts. The fit is so much nicer.
