    I wonder why femboys and transfems like wearing skirts now.

    Is it because these skirts are inherently feminine, and thus it better matches the personality of the person? Or is it because society connects skirts to women, and want to be shoved into the “woman” category by wearing skirts?

      I wear them partly because they help me express the (locally, socially constructed) femininity that I feel. I also wear them partly because I have serious trouble tucking, and a flowy skirt is less of a problem than tights. Which is a shame, because my legs look fine in tights.

          Marathon runner and century cyclist here. You have no idea what tights do for the bulked legs. I go from quadzilla to thick thighs saving lives and it’s glorious.

            Now I really want to try tights. I already had to by thigh high socks on the thicc-er end of the size chart and i ain’t even on HRT or particularly flabby in that region

      Third option: male fashion fucking sucks?

      Fourth option: anatomically, skirts make more sense for penis-havers than pants (though there’s a reason why kilts traditionally include a pouch, which might be an issue when penis-havers want to dress in women’s skirts or dresses).
