Uniforms

Uniforms Hi Everyone! OK, I've been dressing as a woman for over a year now. I started out as a "cross-dresser", and now consider myself as a Transexual. I've "come out" to everyone important to me, and the reaction was mixed, but generally positive. The biggest question was, "Why?" I am a typical man. I was a bodybuilder, a power-lifter, a martial artist, a business man. Extremely successful. The answer was, "because now I'm happy". Well that didn't suit other peoples queries. So I looked at history. If you believe in the Bible, we (humans) have been here for about 10,000- 14,000 years. If you believe in Evolution, we've been her for at least a million years. Regardless, at about the Medieval period, all men wore Togas, Gowns, Robes, or Kilts. Pants weren't invented. After pants were invented, primarily for riding horses in battle, men began wearing pants. They, men, were the warriors, after all. In the 30's during WWII, women began wearing pants or slacks, regularly. Primarily because of factory work, due to the war, and secondly, because they could function more efficiently in pants. At first, when women began wearing pants, in public, it was frowned upon by society. "Those are men's clothes!" they were told. Women who wore pants were looked at as odd, or outcasts. By the 50's, it was the "norm" for women to wear slacks or jeans, although jeans were looked at as rebellious. By the 60's, everyone was wearing jeans, men and women both. They were tight, and "bell-bottomed". And although it was at first considered rebellious, it was later accepted as fashionable. As time progressed, men stuck to pants. They eventually became looser, baggier, and basically, non-fashionable, just functional. Women's clothing kept evolving. Tight, loose. Long, short. Bright colored, earth toned. No matter what, women's clothing was constantly changing. But the only thing that wasn't changing was the women's ability to dress in skirts or dresses, or in pants, jeans, or slacks. Now, in the "Animal Kingdom", most "male" Animals are the most visually prominent. Male birds are more colorful than females. Male carnivores are larger and tend to have more 'markings' or hair, as in Lion's manes. Male fish are more colorful. But we humans, the males are plain, and functional, but the women go out of their way to look noticeable........Why? I don't know. (Actually I do. It has to do with attracting the 'strongest' male, in order to create a stronger offspring, that will continue the genetic pool) All I know, is that when I began trying to look "pretty", everything changed for me. For the better. Rock bands have been doing this for years. Tight clothes, makeup, high heels, and long hair. And they are accepted by most of society....as "eccentric'. So what is the big deal with clothing? I love women. I think they are God's greatest gift to the world. I have dated hundreds of them, married one, and admire all of them. They are not all good people, as men aren't either, but they are so precious. So as a I thought, "Why can't I go out of my way to look good?" "Women do it, and they look amazing, why can't men?" So as an adult, I finally started dressing the way I wanted to. As a woman. Or at least as Society perceived a woman to dress. And it felt amazing! Not sexually, but as a form of freedom. The freedom to be what makes me feel like who I truly am. A beautiful person. (Subjectively of course) In less than a year, I dressed in "women's" clothing about 90% of the time. I still worked as a man, and wore men's clothing at work, but all the other time, I was a woman, and I loved it. I'm an entertainer, and my goal now is to "reveal" myself as who I truly am, next year, on stage. I know it will work, because, I've already done it on a smaller scale. The basic question here is: Why can a woman wear 'everything' a man can wear, and be looked at as being normal, even sexy. But if a man wears his Jeans too tight, or a blouse, or a skirt, or a dress, he's looked at as being odd? Really? This makes no sense to me. Now, as a TS, I have to admit, I have no sexual interest in men at all. I love you guys as people, but find no sexual attraction. Women I love. TS's, TV's, TG's, and CD's I love. But men simply have nothing to offer me, other than friendship. And I have tons of male friends. So basically my decision to dress as what society perceives as a woman, has nothing to do with my sexuality. After all, a woman wearing pants isn't any less a woman is she? So why would a man wearing a skirt be any less a man? Now I understand that there are people in the "T" society that were born a woman in a man's body, or born a man in a woman's body. With them it is sexuality. But how can society persecute them for what nature or God has made them? These are other humans. They are not weirdos or perverts. There are also "A-sexual" or "non-sexual" people. This is WHO THEY ARE. Who is society to say they are wrong? I'm a Celibate, my lifestyle and clothing and appearance choice has nothing to do with sex. It ONLY has to do with what makes me feel good, happy and normal. As you may like tattoos, piercings, brands, hair dye, clothing styles, or colors, hair styles, cars, diets, motorcycles, hiking, yoga, weight training, aerobics, wine, beer, football, or tennis. These are all things that make us unique, and Happy. Tell a Scottsman that he's wearing a skirt and he'll probably knock you out. But see a man in a dress, and he's weird? Yet, if you look at yourself, there are things you do in the privacy of your home, that others will think is weird. We Are All Humans! We are no better or no worse than anyone else, unless we "push" our beliefs and values on others. A or a pedophile or a bigot, is violating someone else's life. Wearing a certain type of clothing is not. My experience with people that disagree with my lifestyle, is that those people, have questions about their own lifestyle. My clothes, and friends are mine. My tolerance is mine. My happiness is mine. No one will stop me from being what makes me happy. Because, I'm not telling you to be like me, or accept me. I already accept who I am. My "rights" end where yours begin. And visa-versa. I'm a successful entertainer, own several other businesses, an entrepreneur, an artist, a dad, a charity worker, and an employer, so I should be judged, if at all, as to what I contribute to society. Not my clothes or my lifestyle. Because I'm not hurting anyone. What are you doing for society? Now the reason I wrote this, isn't because I've been "picked on" or "belittled". But I know those like me that have been. And frankly it pisses me off. I will succeed regardless of society's and bigots' "boundaries", because, once again, I'm happy. Everyone here has an agenda that is theirs, and theirs alone. I cannot logically "judge" them, unless their agenda is to hurt someone else. Can you? Your sexual freedom is the only thing you really have left. Your tastes, desires, and commitments cannot be regulated. (Unless again, you're a pedophile, or ). Not by the government. Not by society. Not by your friends or family. These are "born" into you. This is what you are. This is what nature or God intended. I am what I am, and I'm happy. You be who you are and be happy too. Just don't take from someone else, or hurt someone else to be who you are. You can wear "societies uniform" and be miserable. Or you can be who you are and be happy. It's up to you.

You're right Ronnie. When my son was little, we were going through some pictures of me as a child, and a teen-ager. My son asked me why all the boys were wearing girls clothing. I asked him what he meant. He said, well the boys are wearing short shorts, and in some pics, bell-bottoms. I said, that was the style then. His response was, "So that was before they came up with boys clothes?" BTW, remember platform shoes, for girls and guys? -Amanda-
