It's not always the male-bodied people who crossdress or who are transgender that wear skirts; sometimes guys who identify as guys do. Sometimes even models do.

At Skirt Cafe (www.skirtcafe.org (http://www.skirtcafe.org)), skirt-minded men and people of other genders get together to talk about hemlines. As Bob explains:

    At SkirtCafe, we are dedicated to the idea of "Fashion Freedom" for men. The basic idea is... if you want to wear a skirt, just do it; now you're a man wearing a skirt. Men might want to wear skirts for many reasons. Some guys just like to be different, some want comfort, some want to look and feel beautiful, some have experienced gender dysphoria in one way or another. But whatever the reason, we are committed to the idea that we can just do it, as a man wearing a skirt.
