Just wondering if for fun has anyone ventured out in 6" heels and a mini skirt. I'd like to do it just for fun once , but my knees are too arthritic to support me in heels. Being my age also I prefer dresses.

No.  Not even for Halloween or to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

I hate drawing attention to myself.   Even when I used to perform in rock bands I stood there like John Entwistle and didn't move.

I wouldn't wear a mini skirt even if I had the body of a supermodel. Same with stilleto heels. Hell, I would trip and break my neck in those things.

Hate heels, but I wear short skirts all the time. Anything that's less than 3 inches above the knee doesn't feel right.

Not for fun, but for business.





Yes. My feet became sore after walking for > 1 hour.

I'd love to be able to that , but my knees are shot.

all my dresses are about 2-3 inches above the knee. I like to wear skirts , but I desperately need to get my stomach down.

I've worn mini dresses to clubs but no heels. I cant walk in them and I have yet to find a pair that are tolerable for my feet, very uncomfy 

  I associate that with a negative caricature of what people think about transgender people, just my opinion. I tend to dress more on the demure side.

Not YET!

But someday,  I am a woman and women wear short skirts appropriate to their age and high heels.

To somewhere special like a nice restaurant or club.

PS:  Barbie, More power to you and the way you dress!

 I do not want the attention that an outfit like that would draw especially at my age.

Have fun when you do!!!

I have had people complement me on my legs but I don't know what they see in them. When I first stared cross living I wore heels of about 3 inches but at 6'2" I didn't need the extra 3 inches. Over time I gave up on them and went to flats that were far better when spending the entire day moving around the office. Mini skirts weren't correct for the office environment and they were cold. Our office was often kept just this side of ice cube and it was hard enough staying warm  without exposing more skin. Most comfortable skirt was wool and several inches below the knee. If you want to enforce modesty in office wear, all you need to do is turn the temperature down.

Most days I just wear short shorts or a casual dress just above the knees. I've only worn a short dress and heals in public twice. I rarely have an excuse to rock my short faux leather dress and even less to wear heels, but I did in May at a large convention. That was a lot of fun. Got my best compliment ever too. (I heard someone in a group I passed by ask, "was that Taylor Swift?" Hahahaha, no I am not joking and no I don't see myself that way.) It's tough to feel comfortable in high heels when I'm already 5'9" and worrying about sticking out as transgender. I feel like it just makes me stick out even more.

Eventually I would love to go out in a mini skirt, and maybe pumps.
Though I feel my style is more long flow-y skirts or or something mid length like right above the knees with stockings/leggings with kitten heels.

I still present as male most days, I read as male 100% of the time anyway, and I've got some burly cyclist calves.  But we've been having a heat wave, so I've been rocking short shorts & smooth legs.  Short skirts yes, minishorts yes, miniskirts, not yet.  But stilettos are right out; I'd just feel silly.

I see no reason to pay attention to stereotypes.  I'm dressing more femme now than I really identify with, because it takes a bit extra to overcome the dysphoria.  Since I'm not passing anyway, I might as well have fun with it.

I have a rockin little body so hell yes I do, but not that often. On soft carpet, 5 inch or above heels are no problem all day every day. On concrete or asphalt, they hurt like a son of a bitch after a while. I like brands like these Qupid heels which were a Christmas gift to myself last year...



As far as skirts, it's too hot right now and I like wearing skirts with tights and in this heat that's a no no. I can't wait for autumn!

I personally can't walk in 6 inch heels but I wear mini skirts every day. My usual heel size is about 2 - 2 1/2 inches and skirt length is just enough to cover the naughty bits and back side while walking or standing. I like showing off my legs.

6-inch heels? Maybe if I have the time and money to recover from a broken ankle.

6 inches ... like this?

Think I'd fall off them!

But I wish I had some and could walk in them.. heights are fine, its the pointy heel that gets me rocking all over...
