Gender

Today, I’m happy to announce “Profiles of Beskirted Men” — a new series whose purpose it is to show the world that there are many different kinds of men out there who are interested in wearing not just skirts, but also dresses, tights, high heels and other gender non-conforming clothes.

In this article, Julia discusses her thoughts about why women often compliment her beskirted husband while men tend to ignore him.

This article is an interesting discussion about gendered clothing. It uses men in skirts as an example to illustrate the pointlessness of it.

In this post, I talk about the only negative experience I have ever had wearing a skirt as a man in public and how I coped with it.

This is an excellent post detailing the author’s slow journey into more feminine clothing. He discusses his experiences in public as well as how he worked up the courage to wear less subtly feminine outfits out in public over time.

Jainil Mehta is an Indian man who dances in colorful skirts. This an interesting interview with him about his rise to “fame” and what it means to him.

I decided to run an experiment on myself to see how I would feel leaving all skirts, heels and other gender non-conforming clothing out of my wardrobe. The experiment was simple enough: go a week with only wearing “normal” men’s clothing.

Today’s “In the Media” post is a shout-out to another similarly-minded blogger who writes about the gender-neutral lifestyle.

A lot of men wear gender non-conforming clothing in secret. It would be interesting to know how many of you keep it a secret from your families and why.

This post explores some of the questions that arise for men who like to wear skirts and have young sons in the country.
