The term “crossdressing” refers to people of a specific gender who wear clothes that are considered by most of a culture to belong to another gender. It’s time to redefine it.
This video just made me happy. A day organized by the Swiss organization, Die Feministen (The Feminists), called for men to come out in large numbers wearing skirts to work in Zurich, Switzerland.
Since starting this blog, I have heard from a number of men whose interest in wearing skirts and other clothing typically found in the women’s department has led to them questioning their gender. This is also something I went through and it almost cost me my marriage.

In many ways, Alex is a typical man who just so happens to enjoy wearing skirts and high heels. He is married to a wonderful, supportive wife and has a young son. His hobbies include reading, programming, metal music, playing instruments, video games, cars, hiking and a number of other smaller things.
