I can see why SO MANY men want to wear dresses!

Having just watched my DD spectacular jazz show… 300 kids on stage from 4 -18…. many with seven or more outfits, revelling in the joy of dance and lots of different identities…and of the 300, just 11 were boys…..I am beginning to feel a bit sad for men. If you have had none of this growing up, none of the fun and dress up and pretend….. yes, I can see why you might hanker after it.

Just longing for the day when men can wear dresses and makeup in the street and to work without comment - as men, without having to declare themselves transgender - just as an expression of their masculinity.

*moleskinmittens" - love your utilikilts website! I always thought the Scots could teach English a thing or two! This is such a wonderful expression of men just wearing practical "skirts" in ways that work for them, everyday, doing whatever they want.....

What's uncomfortable about a dress?

Two words. Chub rub.

Ooh Mavis - one word, tights.

"He's also a dress wearing, non-transgender male"

He's a transvestite.

"Trousers are common in sport, though often short versions"

Yes. We have a special word for those short version of trousers

I also can't think of sports where they are common.

"Trousers are also worn by women in most occupations which have a physical element, eg, police officer, firefighter."

Yes. For safety. Or pactical reasons like extra pockets or less likely to catch on something.
