We're up to 50 voters now, and I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed by voting or commenting on this thread. You've abundantly satisfied my curiosity. (Of course, if others wish to contribute, please feel free. The more, the merrier.)
I myself am firmly committed to skirts, and I was wondering if I had company. I see now that I do--even if most people have different tastes. Here in Ireland it almost never gets too cold for skirts. Thick tights and boots and you're fine. The people of my town might think I'm crazy, but given that I'm trans, they might have come to that conclusion a long time ago anyway.
I once heard about a Polish T-girl who refused to abandon her skirts even in the depths of a Polish winter. Now that's what I call commitment. I don't know if I'd have that kind of stamina myself. But whenever I picture Julie Christie in "Doctor Zhivago", it makes it easier.
I really hate pants--I suppose because I was forced to wear them for so many years as a sign of my "masculinity". Now I stick to skirts as a sign of my "whatever-it-is-I-am-ity." The only time I put on pants is when I go out for a walk, usually down by the canal. But even then, if it's a nice spring or summer day, I'll still wear a plain skirt. I don't really care if you're supposed to wear proper gear for a proper walk.
