Sorry, stupid title.

But what do you think of this link? Man likes to wear skirts and heels to work, still definitely a man, not a transwoman, not a sexual fetish, he just thinks skirts should be non gender, likes the style etc.

I just find this really refreshing, how things should be really, Men should be able to chose more traditionally feminine clothes, whilst still being a men.

There's one thing I've noticed a few times from TRAs, which is that they don't understand what "abolish gender" actually means. First there was that inane contrapoints video where she acts like abolishing gender means everyone dressing in beige tunics with shaved heads and talking like robots, then that stupid twitter thing last week from whoever it was, "you can't say abolish gender if you wear mascara". It misses the point so badly. Abolish gender doesn't mean no one can wear dresses, makeup, take their spouses name, be a SAHP etc, it means EVERYONE can do those things no matter which sex they are. Banning skirts isn't abolishing gender, this guy wearing skirts and saying proudly "they aren't just for women" is abolishing gender. Decoupling femininity from being female doesn't mean forbidding anyone from being feminine. So good for him, TRAs should take notes (they won't of course because they're too deeply wedding to sexist and oppressive gender stereotypes).

My word he's got a lot of skirts, some he's obviously really pleased with and the well placed hands and handbag say lots 😂
