Widening the bandwidth of being male

[IndominusRex]

I posted this quote from cbb on the ginuwine thread:
Andrew said (about dragging up) that as a “heterosexual male from the north” he wanted to “break that gender barrier between a heterosexual male drinking beer down the pub called Dan and Dave, and bring in this heterosexual male who’s comfortable with himself…”

So, I thought it would be fun to create a thread for us all to post our favourite examples of this.

I can't believe Prince didn't appear until page 2!!

Another lip sync battle one that springs to mind is Channing Tatum as Elsa!

Here you go, AntiqueOlive [swoons]

Adam Ant knew how to do makeup. Much more than I did.

Gorgeous. (And still is)

I know.....but I kinda still find it funny

Franklin D Roosevelt as a young boy (I have photos of my grandad at a similar age wearing a dress too)

Ahhh what a marvellous excuse to post a picture of my beautiful Nicky Wire 😊

And exhibit B: Phil Oakey.

In fact a large percentage of early 80s musicians/singers...

This article by the Smithsonian is really interesting about when and why pink and blue began to be used for girls and boys respectively

Kurt Cobain

Robbie Williams

Brian's mate Stef

I'm going to see this guy in panto

This is a great thread. I was looking for a pic of a man with a glitter beard when I found this article on a photographer who's made up men in a really kitsch OTT way for an exhibition.

Conchita Wurst - it is a drag act but he is proudly not transgender and a gay icon.

On the subject of "everyone in the 80s" how about Ricky gervais...

What would this thread be without these two beauties?! Cissy and Ada!

Just remember...

"Nobody's perfect"

Strawberries - pre nappies, boys and girls were both dressed alike in dresses up until they were toilet trained - much easier to lift a skirt out the way and hold them somewhere convenient!

(Lovely painting btw - just did a reverse image search for you, and it's Zoffany, "The Blunt children around 1765")

Excellent fact sharing Prickly!

GrooovyLass - I adored the Manics as a teenager! What’s Nicky’s take on the trans movement? Have you heard/read anything? He was never very shy about making his opinions heard!

Sorry, hope I’m not derailing...

I'm only just hitting 40, and I have pictures of my dad, with beautiful curls, in a dress - totally normal.
