Is it weird?

its not weird well atleast not to me anyways

 

It's not weird to me. I've thought that once or twice myself xD

 

Yeah, I don't think it's weird. I'd like to think that's when I'll be happy with my transition- when I can wear a blouse and someone still calls me sir.

 

If you had the exact body of a male, you'd want to wear the clothes, but because you don't have your ideal body just yet, it would make you feel uncomfortable, right? Nah, that's totally cool! Wear whatever clothes you want, clothing style, fashion, based on gender is just man-made. Like what you want, wear what you want, be who you are, and it's not weird

 

^ That right there. :eusa_clap

 

I feel the exact same way whenever I see girl's clothes I happen to find appealing. I'll sometimes look through my girlfriend's closet, and think, "I'd love to be able to wear that without being tagged as female." Basically, I'd love to have the ability to go out in public in a dress, or even just a feminine hoodie or something but not be mistaken for a female. If I were post-everything, or at least 'passed' enough for male, I'd definitely be open to expressing myself more femininely.

Like others have said, it's not strange, and I've certainly had the same desires myself.

 

Clockworkfox I still like pretty decor. Is that weird? I will see a pretty floral duvet cover or wallpaper and think oh! I...like that :icon_redf but then I think about it and imagine having it in my own room or house one day and tell myself 'No I don't' because it makes me feel all weird and dysphoric as it would to imagine wearing a skirt again. I don't know what to make of it. I think one of the things that sucks about being trans is we can't be as free with gender expression than if we were cis. I'm sure it wouldn't make me feel dysphoric if I happened to like floral pattern as a cis guy.

 

You should shopping with my brother. As far as I know he's straight and cis-male, but you walk around and he constantly complains about how womens clothes are so much better. Apparently we have much cooler patters and things!

It sucks that it's dysphoric for you but it's definitely normal I think...

 

I'm cis female and I wear clothes from any department.

I prefer girl clothes because they tend to be softer, but if I find comfortable clothes in the men's department, I won't turn them down.

 

I think it's probably just a thing some people go through. I haven't had these kinds of thoughts, but it's still early on in my transition. I imagine that there will be a few times in the future that I'll think things like that, but it will most likely be related to hats. Fedoras specifically; I have a thing for fedoras. :lol:

As you said, identity and expression are two different things, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

 

If you like it and want to wear it then do it, simple as that. There is nothing wrong with it.

 

Style in the sense that only certain people can certain types of clothing is a bunch of sh*t someone put together to make someone feel bad. So go ahead, carry on

 

i don't think it's weird. i often see pretty things and like them, not for me to wear but that i'd like to see on a woman. things like decor though if i like it ( girly or not ) i buy it.

 

Must be a grass is greener thing. I remember wearing guy jeans and I was all "HOLY SHIT. These actually have pockets." Because you know what you get half the time? Fauxkets. Women's pants literally have these sewn in pockets- and on my pairs, you couldn't even cut them open because there was nothing there. Look, that's just wrong, okay? I want something I can stick my hand in, not "Ooh, this slims you down and makes you look all purdy."

Haha. But yeah. I know lots of guys like that. Men's department's not a rainbow of color, you know?

 

Pockets are awesome. I wish all my pants had pockets. Ah, well, I wear my jacket everywhere anyway.

 

when i wore women's clothes (mom insisted ) i had to carry a purse, no pockets.now i have all the room i need for everything i need. all hail pockets!

 

I like girls clothes better but can never wear them >_< I really like to go girls clothes shop too ^-^
