Lady Diana was a transman.....

[BertrandRussell]

....who knew?

Off with your head...

We were all trans in the 80s. All those young women in suits, in dungarees, in dresses with Doc Martens, with short hair and nails. All those young men in skirts, with long hair and makeup.

Clearly I've never de-transitioned!

:o

Fab outfits. I went for a tux for the last smart thing I went to and thoroughly enjoyed wearing it.

Mainly because I wanted to wear brogues so even more trans

Lady Diana?

Are you misgendering HRH?

Slightly androgynous dressing or styling has always been great fun for women - of all orientations. I can think of examples from most decades of the 20th century. Doesn’t mean that you are ‘trapped in the wrong body’ fgs.

I've apparently been trans since I was about 7 and stopped wearing dresses.

I was once a furry when I wore a fake fur animal suit to a party.

So ahead of the times.

Those tuxes look so much more comfortable than the usual dresses.

Ok, here goes:

1900s - bloomers for bicycling ladies
1910s - WW1 war-work uniform
1920s - flappers with short hair
1930s - ‘slacks’ beginning to be worn
1940s - WW2 war-work uniform
1950s - jeans for women
1960s - pixie cuts and more jeans
1970s - his and hers flares
1980s - all the examples in this thread!
1990s - the workwear trouser suit

MaybeDoctor-I was being sort of ironic.....

I know you were! I also know that there has been a trend to re-write certain historical individuals as ‘trans’ so was trying to help illustrate how ludicrous it all is...

Apparently my 60 yr old husband and 50 yr old me are a queer couple.
DH has long hair and wears eyeliner when we go to gigs ( and Christ he looks bloody good) and I don't own a skirt and only own flat shoes ( I have fallen arches)

It's a load of omnibollocks isn't it???

So true Jelly. Lovely to see Diana rocking it in the 80s. Charles has always lived true to his best non binary self too.

He is so brave and stunning ... 😎

So because I do not want to adhere to gender stereotypes, and live in my trousers and jumpers, or shirts, I am a transman, hmmm.

Aero I do like you but also putting on mascara when I can be bothered. so I am defo a brave stunner forging my way through the monochrome world.
Oh wait, forgot again. Having the ole vag puts the kibosh on that one. Bugger!
Just a woman wearing you know, some clothes and stuff then.

Lady Di rocked short hair as well. She did grow it out for a little while, but soon saw sense and had it cut short again.

I wore a waistcoat, shorts and DMs to my brother's wedding when I was 18.

It was quite a look, I tell you and my mother wept

There was a lot of it about before things started to go strongly gender conforming a couple of decades back:

Looks down at self - knee length shorts and a blue hoody. No make up.

Shit am I a man 😮

Does this mean I get a pay rise?

Or at the very least a seat and a half on the tube?

Chattylion, I also sport short hair too, because I like it, oooh I must be a transman then .

Looks down at self - knee length shorts and a blue hoody. No make up.

Me: knee-length shorts (men's, in fact), t-shirt (men's, in fact); shortish hair (needs a cut).

That's how I'm doing womaning today. And most days, if truth be told.

Obviosuly Lady Di was a transman.

• she hung out with kenny everett, famous trans person and part time lesbian.

putyourshirton are you me? My DH also has long hair and is not averse to a bit of eyeliner at gigs. I own one dress (got married in it) and lots of flat shoes (although some of them are sparkly!)

Wahey, we are the new (old) Fox and Owl! Now stop oppressing our non-binary asses you nasty feminists......😉
