yeah, im really not a feminine person.... when that lesbian said it was because i was too feminine... i was wearing ballet flats, black dresslacks and a tee... no jewelry, and pretty much no makeup.... feminine?

Thats the thing Audrey: a lota girls dislike skirts apart from sometimes when the mood takes them... some do, some dont... at my uni, 80% of the girls in my class wear jeans pretty much consistently...

ROFL    well, unfortunately some people think that by dressing ultra fem, a.k.a. trashy, slutty...(high heels, red dress way above the knees, lots and lots of hair and makeup, and blue eye shadow) is going to fool people.  There is nothing worse, IMO, than a woman who is constantly pulling her mini skirt down, sitting with her legs wide open when wearing skirts  , sweating kilograms and kilograms of makeup and bending her knees when walking in high heels!  sheesh!    Total give away!

Hmm, I'd never noticed women doing that, Tink.

That's 'ultra-femme?' Sounds like ueber-camp to me.

I'm very observant, and you would be surprised what I see out there...

Hardly. Yes 'women' and women do it. It's just so ... so ... so foul! hahahahaha

I don't know where you all live.
But, women, even in college here
dress better than
just jeans and sweats or T's. Jeezzz.
Maybe Mcgill is upper crust HAHA...
No, its a public university, and its dirt cheap,
so we're not all driving ferrari's.


That's what I couldn't understand in the suburban US
(which is most of the US), when I lived there for awhile,
how awfull people dressed on a regular basis.

Without going glam, there's tons of things in between
full on casual and red carpet that creates a much more
individual style than jeans and T's.

I don't really know why it would be so much fun to "blend in".
When someone dresses nice and stylish (mini skirts and crazy heels
and thick makeup is plain cheezy and no self-respecting women would
wear that combination).

I think bad fashion sense in general, not just standing out, is what can out you the quickest. Of course, if you look good and stylish, people will look at you more so if something else is amiss (voice, body proportions or whatever, there is a bigger chance of someone spotting you).

Its a difference between driving a Porsche or a beat up Honda and hoping nobody will notice who exits the car.

Um, When going out sure, when doing anything vaguely formal sure, but for 9am or 8am lectures, you WONT see any female dolled up to the 9s...
Sure i and my classmates do wear nicer things too, but its always within street clothing boundries for comfort etc... when your sat around or walking around all day, some things are just practica....

Tink: i know some girls that do all those things, and NO, thier not trans :S

Most off days I'm in casual mode (a cami or tank, mid thigh skirt of some type (cold days long skirt) and a 3/4 quarter sleeve top) work days scrubs BORING although I do have some cute tops it's just boring. OH ya and some type of low heel in the house bare foot, work I wear crocks or the like.

If its uncomfortable, i wont wear it unless theres is a good reason... like my housemate was saying to me the other night when i mentioned my idiot shoes at work, she was saying that you can tell which womens shoes are designed BY women... thier the ones you can stand up in and not feel like your in a vice
R >

yes, hoodies ft flipping win
comfy baggy uni hoodie is like a uniform here... although the Sab officers and other union officers all wear thier named ones, like i wear my wellfare committee one with my name on ^_^ its a statement of union politics

I think that just trying to be ultra fem anymore is more of a dead giveaway than anything.  If you look around at what the majority of women wear you will find it is mostly, you guessed it, jeans and t-shirts or sweaters.  Sometimes nice dress pants and less frequently skirts and dresses and heels.

At my previous job (7 months HRT) even before I made the transistion I got called maam etc. quite frequently even while wearing my blue coveralls at work!! 

Audrey

Exactely my point....I'm about as far removed as you could get from a usual TS image.....
I wear denim jackets and jeans, flat shoes or boots and no make up just like the majority of females around...

I can wear overalls as well and it doesn't change anything......clothes has nothing to do with what you are like physically..

I don't get the point either, but 10/10 for the comment!

As far as attire goes I agree with the couple of posts that say it depends where you are. Up here where I live in Canada it's mixed. At a mall you see just as many skirts as you do jeans or slacks. And it all depends what type of skirt you wear. I hate slacks myself and fail to see how a denim skirt is really any different than your jeans - and I have gg friends who agree. As for my work though I have no choice - our uniforms are standard for all officers ( by-law enforcement officer). But where I am posted the offices I patrol I see more skirts than anything. But inside the port area the men are of course in jeans and such as are the gals. So it all depends. And remember, some religions ban women from wearing pants of any type as well. So when one judges one must tread lightly.

I don't think that anyone was passing judgement just stating the way it is.
