My response to cross dressing

I have seen on here some resentful remarks about crossdressing, not just from males as I would expect, but from females as well. To be fair men have had to accept women cross dressing for decades now and that is supposed to be totally OK seeing women living in jeans, leggings, shorts, sports trousers, joggers etc. Personally I grew up seeing women wearing skirts and dresses when they went out shopping, to a pub restaurant or cafe and just in ordinary everyday life. They looked great then and I always loved those clothes which is why I now prefer to dress in skirts and dresses myself. I love feeling the flowing materials (nothing sexual) and wearing the very kind of clothes that I wish today`s women would wear themselves. Give me a chiffon skirt or dress and a lovely lacey petticoat (waist slip or full slip) and I feel totally happy and more natural than ever.

So this is you acting out a fantasy of how you wish women would behave. Interesting.

I tried recreating Burger King's mushroom double Swiss for tea by adding mushrooms to my Rustler cheeseburger. It was nice, but not a patch on the real thing. But then cheap imitations rarely do match up to the real thing.

We’re having Delia’s four star salad.

I'm making bruschetta. Home grown tomatoes not yet ready but plenty of basil.

Thats like the best weekend ever. Well fucking done.

Thank you. I really do appreciate this.

I give you robes and togas in the old days, like women in their skirts. Why did men stop wearing togas and celtic style robes, and Louis quatorze ermine and white tights, and stop wearing their massive wigs and high heels too. I don't think they liked them much. So it's left to cross dressers to pretend they are female, since they have no males like in the old days to emulate any more. But it's nothing new is it. Exhibitionism.

BillieWiper · 07/06/2026 18:10

Your response to cross dressing is to cross dress in vintage women's clothing? Ok then.

That's entirely up to you. I don't care what other people wear as long as it doesn't look like fetish wear or expose genitals.

I have the flu or something similar and my OH is in recovery after a biopsy so I just did potatoes, onions and carrot in the remoska for lunch and had that with some gravy for lunch. It was bloody gorgeous.

I had to google Remoska. It looks like one of those things I’d use once then it has a cupboard of its own forever. Your recipe sounds like Blind Scouse though which is very nice. Hope it does the trick and you feel better soon.

Brb, just got to go on the petrolheads forum and post about how my jogging bottoms and hoodie make my ghost penis feel surly and manly

Namechange1345677 · 07/06/2026 18:17

They are not mens or women's clothes.

I'm wearing them so they are my clothes.
Or they are wearing them so they are their clothes.

What a strange post.

Aww that's a shame but absolutely obvious it wouldn't be the real deal.. I also tried to recreate a filet steak tonight, but I only had gristly and tasteless minute steak, same problem.. 😉

Like turkey bacon. What the hell is that all about? Just admit that you're turkey rather than pretending to be an inferior version of pork.

Isnt this nice.

I had spaghetti bolognaise (veggie) too.

I thinned out my carrots (first thining) so i thought these skinny long carrots could be put with spaghetti it worked well.

After that my husband was so impressed with my culinary offering, that he ripped off my gingham pinny, and shagged me blind. I didn’t even have time to take my knee high socks off, and my bunches are all askew.

Why does any one have to support a male person's clothing choices? Why is this a thread on a feminist board except to attempt to get women's attention and approval?

What utter tosh.

SorryWeAreClosed · 07/06/2026 18:58

That's nice for you.
Starting from being terrified of pantomime dames as a kid I've always given men in frocks a wide berth.

I've only come across beef bacon while on holiday in Egypt- it's foul

Is it thin cured slices of cow bum?

Oh the OP is most definitely a ‘cross dresser’ in the traditional meaning of the term. 😂😂😂

I wonder if knowing at least some mumsnet posters don’t find it remotely controversial or interesting is disappointing?

It tasted like thin cured slices of cow pat
