I don’t even see it as drag, because I’m not dressing as a woman. I’m a guy wearing a dress, not a guy trying to be a woman.

Because when you really stop think about it, it makes no sense that clothes should be gendered. What is inherently ‘female’ about a dress, beyond the expectation that only women should wear them. I mentioned that somewhere on here before, to which one guy mentioned that swinging dicks might be an issue, and right, two things: 1) underwear exists, and 2) I don’t know about anyone else, but my dick doesn’t swing that low. Perhaps I’m unlucky.

But yeah, the older I get the less sense it makes that we must dress in a specific way based on what genitals we have.

I kinda just want to feel like my clothes look pretty sometimes. Women can dress masculine with barely a mention, so why can’t I dress feminine sometimes?

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest it was drag. I just was suggesting that's what you could have called the times I wore a dress.

It shouldn't be drag. It should just be normalized.

It’s cool, I wasn’t being pissy.

But yeah, exactly that.

That's what I told the judge - Your Honor, I wasn't impersonating an officer, I just look good in a uniform!
