The main reason I've create an account here after some time reading topics here as a guest, is the clock ticking, after years of postponing decisions (still in that phase yet). I went to a costume party at friends for New Year's Eve, and the theme was "misgendering". I went wearing a skirt, pantyhose, make up and jewels, dressed half female, half male, first time in my life I did it in public and with friends.
I didn't expect it would give me so much to think at. There's was of course the traditional stupid jokes, but I noticed it pleased other girls, who had a lot of comments to do and questions to ask.
I'm usually a shy guy, having difficulties to make contacts, and chat, and having not much fun at dancing and partying. Quite the contrary that evening, I danced like I never did, and had lot of talks with women. To the point that some girlfriends who knows me noticed it, and talked about it the days after, as one told me.
I'm since myself questioning it, I know being costumed can help to socialize, but it was so natural to me to do and enjoy things who are difficult for me usually. I even find an excuse to go back home in the Parisian night, walking in my skirt back home. And feeling good.
I'm sorry, I'm trying my best to write in English, it's hard to really tell things like I want to. I hope it's not too silly to read. But this evening really makes me wonder if wearing "only" a skirt and pantyhose could have changed me so much.
