They're called skorts. They're simultaneously useless, goofy-looking, playful and ridiculously fun to wear.

Everybody should try on them at least once.

    They should make skorts for men.

    There are no gender requirements for skorts. You can just buy them and wear them.

    i mean they are shorts so i'd imagine they're pretty liable to get uncomfortable, as they're presumably not designed with magnum dongs in mind.
    But then again i assume they're generally stretchy so maybe it's fine..

    Very true, however we live in a society where it is highly frowned upon. I don't think i'm brave enough to wear skorts in public. Maybe some day, idk.

    There's a part of town that's gay enough for you to wear pretty much anything

    True, but then I get hit on by men which isn't the goal. Yes, that's likely to happen anyway but I don't see why I should go out of my way to go someplace where it's almost guaranteed. Yes, I'm very aware that's a me problem.

    Ye, but if getting hit on by men wasn't danger-coded or gross, it would be less of a deterrent. You don't have to blame yourself.

    If getting hit on by men is the only problem we've got to find you a supportive lesbian friend group or bar where you can try on pretty dresses (I think they're called drag clubs)

    Lesbians love me lol. Never really been interested in drag. I definitely respect it though. I'd be willing to go if a friend wanted to. I don't have any pretty dresses to try on. I want a maid dress. That would be awesome.

    The best tailor i ever had did primarily wedding dresses (on Lamar Street in Austin if they're still around, I just am terrible with names) and I was recommended through a friend getting her dress done. I was actually her first male presenting client (unknowingly going for the twink look at the time) and she altered half my tops. Got them nice and snug.

    Which reminds me, I haven't fit into my favorite shirt for years, but if I wear it like so... Gimme a minute my wife is going to be so happy she likes the shirt as much as I do

    Edit hot damn I'm wearing it to the jazz festival

    Now I just need a good occasion for the kilt that isn't ethnically or sprotsbally oriented. Or lesbian game night because they're too supportive. I'm trying to push myself a little, grow as a person.
