I'm wearing a skirt.

Postby AlexTheSane » Fri Jul 08, 2011 4:08 pm

It's true, I'm totally wearing a skirt. Even better, fifteen minutes ago I was *outside* wearing a skirt. I decided that, since I'm living at my mother's place in an area where a) hardly anyone knows me and b) it is more liberal than I'm used to, I would go to RiteAid and buy juice in a skirt.

I probably look like a goth, despite my makeup-less-ness; black skirt and black tights (I was NOT shaving my legs just to go get juice), and I decided to wear a black t-shirt with a skull on it. No bra or padding upstairts, it's hot and my lower half was already going to be smothered by feminine undergarments so I wanted at least some of me to be able to breathe. So again, I look like a vary hot and uncomfortable spooky person in a skirt.

My trip was rather uneventful. I ran into the landlord, and the people at RiteAid had seen me before (and will again), but everybody was just as cheerful and friendly as normal. The fifteen minute walk up was pretty easy, if anyone looked at me twice I didn't notice. On the way back, some young teenagers in an SUV laughed at me, and some ass-douche leaned his whole torso out of the passenger side of a car to make wolf noises at me (I don't think he noticed my lack of boob-ness), but I was already in my "I'm awesome and have juice" mode so I didn't care or react.

Back home I have traded the tights and panties for more comfy underwear, because no one is here so they can't care about my leg hair and incongruous bulge.

I'm in a very good mood right now.

Congratulations! I'm really glad to hear about the lack of adverse reactions from the people you met.

Luuucckky, you have a skirt. Also, I could totally go for some juice.

If it were me, I wouldn't shave... I think leg hair is cool.

That's soooo awesome! And hey, people get yelled at from cars so NEVER take it that they're doing it because they know you're not a cisfemale. People will even shout "tranny" at cisfemales.

Congraatulations on making the trip out. If you are finding your panties smothering, youmay want to try a different size or style, or brand. I've had a few pairs like that, but mostly find them more comfy than guys undies.

Definitely. I personally LOVE the Hanes ComfortSoft line. They also seem to have just the right stretch built in EVERYWHERE so things stay comfy. I also have a couple nylon pairs that are really nice too, though I don't know what brand they are, so it's kinda hard to get another.

I haven't been able to wear mine cause I don't have a way to wash them that doesn't involve confronting my mom

Is your mom around all the time? Even though I live alone, there are a few things I wash by hand in the bathroom sink (to save water - that sink is smaller) - my nylon panties and a few specific pairs of socks. I wash the kilts I made in the kitchen sink (the bathroom sink is too small, and my washing machine too aggressive on the seams), and let all of the above air-dry. I just use regular diswashing detergent when doing this. Washing machine detergent doesn't work so well for washing clothes by hand.

She is, what with the baby, though I might try it.

You could offer to babysit while she goes out, and do your laundry while she's gone.
