Nice to have you back.
There are lots of...Hi John. Nice to have you back.<br /><br />There are lots of problems with the "don't change the wording of the Bible" idea. The first is that people have been changing the wording of the Bible ever since it was first written. Even in the Book of Genesis, at least three editorial revisions can be discerned, and they all have names (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentary_hypothesis) and this happened even before people started to translate the Bible into different languages. The second problem is that the way of life of ancient Hebrews means that literally some of the passages of the Bible just have no meaning in modern life.<br /><br />The second point you make is about health. You might not know I have a medical degree, but in essence I am on pretty safe ground when it comes to medical issues. The only evidence I have heard of about tight garments in males is in reducing sperm counts. Testicular cancer, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction and malformed babies are not caused by restrictive garments in men.<br /><br />I agree that it makes much more sense for women to wear pants than men, because of how we are designed. I am also pleased that you derive satisfaction from wearing skirts and hose, and if you get medical benefits too (such as support) then that's all to the good.<br /><br />I don't think people need to look at the Bible or the medical profession to justify their clothing choices. The only reason I need to hear is "I like wearing this", and that's good enough for me.<br /><br />Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-11321702031668397492018-10-20T10:53:18.963+13:002018-10-20T10:53:18.963+13:00Just a short addendum here: https://www.belmarrahe...Just a short addendum here: https://www.belmarrahealth.com/research-shows-that-men-should-be-the-ones-in-skirts/ Just something for you to think about here. Take a pair of pants, lay them out flat on a table, and look at the design of them. NOW, where are mens' genetalia? On the outside. So then if you look at that pair of pants what do you see? They come to a point righ were mens' genetalia are. That is restrictive, binding, there is little air-flow so there is more over-heating, pants do bind up there, regardless of 'appropriately tailored" (sorry, but no such thing) trousers. Women do NOT have ther genetalia on the outside, and in fact the pants ARE DESIGNED for them. It is known that the overheating, the damage from being 'bound up', smashed, twisted, etc, are cuses of prostate cancers, cancers of the testicles, the over-heating is responsible in part for low sperm count, along with the cancers, even e.d. is partially caused from the wearing of pants. Again, not here to argue with you, just giving facts. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691741340889176804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-79606042689253074782018-10-20T10:32:48.780+13:002018-10-20T10:32:48.780+13:00Hi Vivienne. I'd like to reply to yours from a...Hi Vivienne. I'd like to reply to yours from a year ago. I just saw it, so am replying. It is a known fact that the Bibles have been changed over the years. It is also a fact that God said that men shouuld not change the words/wording in the Bible, and woe to them that do. The wording you used came from a newer Bible, and just the one word change took the whole context in a different direction. I ask this. Why would a verse all of a sudden start talking about a bed, when a previous verse was talking about "cross-dressing"? Here is a link for the correct verse, in the King James Bible. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+22%3A30&version=KJV There are also several more references to this: Dt. 27:20, Ru.3:9, 1 Sam. 15:27, 1 Sam. 24:4, 1Sam. 24:5, 1 Sam. 24:11, Eze. 16:8, Hag. 2:12. I realise that not all are familiar with the Bible, and that is ok. This is NOT about me 'trying to push' my views on another, merely stating that even in Biblical times, there were 'discussions' concerning this. For this subject to be mentioned several times, places an inportance on it more so then something mentioned only once or twice. When I first started waring such clothing back in the late 50's, yes, it was a 'thrill' and a stimulation. That aspect wore off within a short time, and I found I truly was more comfortable wearing such clothing from a physical standpoint. 4 years ago I had to have a surgicall procedure known as Hydrocelectomy. Look thes up, please. That surgery removed 260 ml of fluid from the right side. I was told I needed to start supporting that area. 3 years ago I had MAJOR EVAR surgery. 7 new 'stent/devices had to be used to fix 3 major aneurysms. One on my Aortic artery, and one on each iliac artery. Again told I needed to have extra support not only for the groin area, but for my legs as well. Turns out I do have some RLS, and the tights/pantyhose even though they are NOT a true support hose, DO provide me with some support, and it is much better then the compression hose that was scripted for me. 2 years ago, I had a Keller bunionectomy, and the surgeon had to take away some bone from the first metatarsal joint in my foot. AGAIN, the hose have provided support in a much more comfortable way. I do get 'looks' some good some not so good from people, but I couldn't care less anymore. I am comfortable, and I have NO issues with my masculinity. I realise we do not all think alike and that is fine. I am only stating what I have found to be true. Peace to you all. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691741340889176804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-24483159745685517602017-09-20T07:02:32.689+12:002017-09-20T07:02:32.689+12:00You are right, of course.

Ah, those old testament phrases; open to misinterpretation at every turn.<br /><br />Finally, while I accept that tight-fitting underwear is sometimes uncomfortable for men, the only problem aside from that is a reduced sperm count. There is no evidence that I am aware of which links pants to cancer, or deformed babies.<br /><br />If you feel better wearing a skirt and tights, then you have nothing but support from me.

I am sure you've heard about sweaty balls. That is one seriously detrimental issue for the testicles. THAT ALONE can cause cancer, as well as sterility and deformation of babies, whether you believe that or not. Study up on it. I can provide links to that health issue. I have had my 'package' twisted, pinched, pulled, separated, jammed just by wearing pants. I too have had sweaty balls, and it is NOT pleasant. I have had my testes pinched and smashed due to pants and the way that my 'package' sits inside them. I have yet to experience that when wearing skirts. YES there ARE health issues by wearing pants.

Tights aka pantyhose were actually for men as well. Men wore un-bifurcated garments and have since biblical times. You stated "in Western society". So, that makes it not ok to wear skirts and tights? Society does NOT have the right to dictate to you OR anyone else what can or cannot be worn. Skirts were talked about even in the Bible. People want to use Deut. 22:5 as their point of objection to a man wearing a garment that actually was designed for him. They fail to mention that Deut. 22:30 states skirts on men. "A man shall not take his fathers' wife, nor discover his fathers' skirt." This link will give you some answers to that aspect: http://www.theplacewithnoname.com/hiking/sections/gear/clothing/meninskirts.htm I can give you more links to back up what I stated in an earlier comment. Also I mentioned tights. Men did not have underwear so tights were invented. Men wore tights long before women took them over. It was a sign of aristocracy. Yes, the fabric has changed to nylon, but the fact is that they are still tights and originally worn by men. As for the long-johns. For myself, I have tried them, but, #1, they were too small, as I am 6'8" tall, and #2, too bulky underneath my pants, and #3, they constantly pulled my leg hair and so did pants. I do still wear pants when need be, but I prefer skirts and tights whenever I am able. Men all across the world STILL wear skirts/kilts. Dirndl, loincloth, kilt, muumuu, pannier sarong, pareo, lava-lava, sulu, lunghi, robe, kimono, toga (yes the very thing Alexander the Great wore in his battles), and there are many other names, ALL skirts aka un-bifurcated garments. There are men out there that wear these garments due to fetishes, but MOST men that do wear skirts and/or tights, do it for the reality that they ARE mens' garments and they don't give a rip what society seems to want to dictate as being a 'proper' garment for men.Why is it that in Western society, it was/is ok for a woman to wear what is called 'mens' garments', but if the sho is on another foot, all hell breaks loose? We men are merely taking back what was ours to begin with. Society does NOT have the right, nor the education and intelligence to determine correctly what women are to wear and what men are to wear. It is NOT societies place to even attempt that to begin with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691741340889176804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-47646428261135736532017-09-14T21:26:00.258+12:002017-09-14T21:26:00.258+12:00Yes I am certain that men sometimes wear tights to...Yes I am certain that men sometimes wear tights to keep warm or to get support.

I think what we do have a choice of is gender <i>expression</i>.<br /><br />I fully agree with you that society conditions us to think that there are only two boxes, labelled "male" and "female", and that everyone fits into only one box. (I think even some trans people subscribe to this notion) But I think the truth is that there aren't any boxes at all; in fact I think that everybody is different in their internal identity, vs their external identity, vs their sexual orientation, and so on.<br /><br />I am pleased for you that you have found a sweet spot in among all this to inhabit. You are right that living in the closet creates tremendous pressure and unhappiness at times.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Vivienne.<br />Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-9109299382705850042016-06-04T21:32:43.394+12:002016-06-04T21:32:43.394+12:00Hi Vivienne,

As I'm pretty much in the same situation as Michael, I maybe can shed some light on it based on my experiences. But it might get a bit esoteric at first... ;)<br /><br />In fact, gender identity is a matter of choice. Our soul has no gender, but if we start playing this game called life, there's this binary gender setup here and we need to choose. Our experiences during our life form our character and as we life multiple lifes as man or woman, we add more and more characters with individual experiences to this "team". This "team", usually known as "bigger self" or "subconsciousness", permanently influences our current life, our thoughts and actions. If we now start into a new life our gender identity is formed based on biological sex, experiences, parents, friends, social rules, etc. It basically creates a filter for our "team" or "complete self". As biologically male we usually learn to only listen to the male voices from our team and to suppress all the female ones. But this filter is not fixed. We tweak it based on new experiences and just reading a crossdresser blog can be sufficent to let some female voices come through, initializing even bigger changes to our filter. We might start listening more to the female parts of our self, influencing the way we think and act. We start seeing the world in a more feminine way. By giving our feminine parts more room and freedom, we might start questioning gender- and clothing rules, start acting more feminine, adding female garment to our clothing, becoming a crossdresser. Depending on the share of our female self, we might even start questioning our biological male sex, becoming a transgender person.<br /><br />I woul suspect that Michael opened his consciousness to his complete self having quite even shares between male and female experiences and that's just how he expresses himself now: As male (because AMAB) who also gives the female parts of his self room to express. <br /><br />I'm basically in the very same situation with even shares of male and female parts, which expresses in an androgynous clothing style. Just like Michael, I'm quite happy with my male sex and have no urge to become a full time female. My female parts express themself in nail polish, skirts and jewellery, my male parts in beard, short hair, wide shoulders and hairy chest. I found a stable point where all parts of my self can happily express themself, but that's only since I'm out of the closet. In the closet there's always this huge pressure building up because the female side only gets very short times to express.<br />Joannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-74283989669903480012015-08-18T20:33:25.731+12:002015-08-18T20:33:25.731+12:00Hi John,
Regardless of history, skirts and robes ...Hi John,<br /><br />Regardless of history, skirts and robes are overwhelmingly female garments, at least in Western society.<br /><br />I don't consider society to be "sick" or "twisted". In fact, I think it seems that crossdressers like me are overwhelmingly tolerated by society, even if we are not welcomed in all quarters. I accept that there may be a perception of some crossdressers as doing it for the fetish, but I think this is because there are some people who <i>are</i> doing it for that reason.<br /><br />I think skirts are very comfortable, but I don't believe they have any particular health benefits. I don't think trousers and pants are painful, and I certainly don't think they cause cancer. I think to attempt to use health as a justification is unconvincing for me.<br /><br />Overall, I think it should be OK for people to wear whatever they like, provided it is decent, and for no other reason than that they prefer it. You are right that there are many people (and I admit I am one of them) who restrict what they wear because they fear societal disapproval. But I think overall that is changing.<br /><br />Vivienne.<br />Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-14457760388742350152015-08-18T01:54:49.772+12:002015-08-18T01:54:49.772+12:00Hi Vivienne.

While there are those that won't "buy" that as authentic, one must be prepared to prove the statements, in order to 'justify' the thought and logic. You brought up something else in that paragraph that needs to be addressed as well. You stated that "this is the present day". Yep, it is. Therein lies another point. This IS the present day, and for all of our societies' claims that we are more progressive today, truth is that we have regressed. We are apparently more progressive quite selectively, therefore we haven't truly progressed. It seems that in this day and age, it is quite acceptable for a man to have his maleness surgically altered to resemble a woman, and he is automatically a hero, and is now almost worshipped and revered, yet, for a man to go out and about wearing a garment originally and logically designed for males, he becomes the whipping boy, mocked, ridiculed and ostracized because of that, even though he is doing it for health AND comfort reasons. We males are not the problem, it is the sick and twisted society that is the problem. One poster at the beginning of this thread spoke of the little gains one gets verses the hassle one would get by wearing these garments. I am of the belief that individual has not experienced the comfort, or health benefits from wearing a skirt, so of course it wouldn't make much sense concerning the gains. I can say with certainty, I'd rather go out dressed comfortably, and deal with the few naysayers, and funny looks, then continue to punish my body, and suffer much pain, discomfort, perhaps even get cancer, etc. There are those that 'wish' they could go out and be comfortable as well. They are the ones holding themselves back. They are in chains, and they are the ones that have to stand up for what they believe in, regardless of what others might say. No one is holding a gun to their heads saying that they can't wear those garments. No good thing has come out of being mamby-pamby, and just sitting back hoping someone else opens the door for them, no matter what the subject matter is. The prevailing attitude will not be changed without some sacrifice. One of the big reasons society has this 'bitter taste' in it's mouth is because they've only seen the fetish side of it all, due to the men not being men, standing up for what is right, and being bold enough to say that they are justified in wearing these garments, and that's the way it's going to be. I am truly curious as to when men became such wimps and got such thin skin, to the point they are afraid of some negative comments, and funny looks. Seems to me to be a bit more regression. Anyway, I hope that all the men out there finally get it together enough to do something about this whole thing, and once and for all put to rest the inequality in garment wearing, and actually do something healthy for themselves, and their spouses or significant others.

Would you mind giving some sort of name to differentiate yourself from other anonymous posters?<br /><br />There is no doubt at all that skirt-like garments and robe-like garments, have been worn by both men and women throughout history. However, this is the present day, and I doubt whether many people would buy the justification "Well, I wear a skirt. So did Alexander the Great you know!" as authentic.<br /><br />I think men and women should be free to wear whatever is comfortable for them (physically or psychologically) provided it doesn't break any laws. I hope you continue to get pleasure from wearing skirts and hose if it suits you to do so.<br /><br />Vivienne.Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-67554611853229626112015-08-03T16:04:57.816+12:002015-08-03T16:04:57.816+12:00Hi.

Yes, it originally started out as a fetish, but that went away. I enjoyed the feeling of p-hose on my shaved legs, but wore them as support for my legs and crotch. skirts, aka, kilts, sarongs, lunghi's, and numerous other names are and always have been a mans' garment. it is a logical garment. Men have an external package, and it is quite literally very stupid for men to be wearing pants. The pants cause excessive heat build-up, they pinch, twist, separate, smash our testes. All those things are detrimental to our health, i.e. prostate cancer, e.d., sterility, testicular cancer, among other things. Throughout history men have worn skirts, aka UNBIFURCATED garments. That is not a new word, but the correct and true word for a garment with one opening and two legs. Robes are another unbifurcated garment. Skirts and robes are even in the Bible. Alexander the Great wore skirts in his battles, and even early pictures of men show them in skirts and tights. The tights then were cotton or wool, as nylon had yet to be invented. I recently had testicular surgery, and a part of the cause for that was the pants thing. I wear pantyhose to provide support for my legs, and my groin area. Yes they feel good as an extra benefit, but I don't wear the skirts and pantyhose for a sexual stimulation. The past few years, I have stepped out of my perceived box to find I am much more comfortable in skirts and hose. Contrary to what so many women claim, skirts and hose are much cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter. For those women that say the hose are uncomfortable, there are two main reasons you are having those issues, one, you're wearing a size too small, two, put the pantyhose on first. The original pantyhose had a cotton panel. Why? To help alleviate the 'staining' of panties due to natural discharge experienced by most women. TRUTH. I can't speak for anyone else out there, just myself. I do feel much more free and comfortable. Yes I wear my skirts and hose during the day, and night as well. Most of the time I receive compliments from men and women. Some people frown on what I wear, but that's on them, as they obviously wish to remain in the dark about the truth of things.

I suspect that many crossdressers want to wear specific styles and garments which were "imprinted" on us. I think that explains why we don't all have similar tastes, even though we may have much in common.<br /><br />For myself, I will need to spend a lot more time trying to look acceptable in this culture, before trying to step into a new one!<br /><br />Vivienne.<br />Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-70364755594990901162014-02-12T05:43:33.175+13:002014-02-12T05:43:33.175+13:00Grok posting.

It's like the poem "when I am an old woman I shall wear purple". Except that I cast myself in the lead role!<br /><br />I joked above about the electric scooter. But I am hoping to have a long and healthy retirement during which I can pursue all my hobbies, including crossdressing. Of course, the fates may have other plans for me!<br /><br />What happens after that? When, as you say, my mind begins to fail? The very idea fills me with dread almost beyond bearing. Like you, I hope I can keep some shreds of dignity somehow.<br /><br />Vivienne.<br />Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-44005516067854337662013-08-19T04:00:54.522+12:002013-08-19T04:00:54.522+12:00As I start the slow decline into the second half (...As I start the slow decline into the second half (?) of my life, I wonder what it will be like when I no longer have strict control over my words and actions. Will I throw fits at the nursing home because I can't find my satin nightgown? Will I need help from the nursing staff pulling on my nylon panties?<br /><br />I won't care what the staff or other residents or their families think of me, but I hope I don't do anything to embarrass my own family and make it unpleasant for them to come visit me.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642548439896244587.post-13234280221764093452013-08-17T15:30:54.655+12:002013-08-17T15:30:54.655+12:00Perhaps I will be considered somewhat eccentric, w...<i>Perhaps I will be considered somewhat eccentric, with an intellectual bent</i>. Actually, I think that would be a good (and largely true) description of me right now!<br /><br />I don't know what will happen when I get older. Perhaps it will be so normal to crossdress that I will be able to put on my wrinkly stockings and my knitted shawl and drive my electric scooter along my street, and have nobody bat an eye.<br /><br />Vivienne.Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137595207723645418noreply@blogger.com
