I wonder why femboys and transfems like wearing skirts now.
Is it because these skirts are inherently feminine, and thus it better matches the personality of the person? Or is it because society connects skirts to women, and want to be shoved into the “woman” category by wearing skirts?
Fourth option: anatomically, skirts make more sense for penis-havers than pants (though there’s a reason why kilts traditionally include a pouch, which might be an issue when penis-havers want to dress in women’s skirts or dresses).
I wear them partly because they help me express the (locally, socially constructed) femininity that I feel. I also wear them partly because I have serious trouble tucking, and a flowy skirt is less of a problem than tights. Which is a shame, because my legs look fine in tights.
Marathon runner and century cyclist here. You have no idea what tights do for the bulked legs. I go from quadzilla to thick thighs saving lives and it’s glorious.
Now I really want to try tights. I already had to by thigh high socks on the thicc-er end of the size chart and i ain’t even on HRT or particularly flabby in that region
Gender is almost unarguably entirely a social construct. Two seconds in a history book shows this to be true.
It’s a learned framework. But with in that framework we have associated sex with gender so intrinsically that separating the two is near impossible outside of a science context. At least in a modern context. This can vary depending on the region and point in history.
So with how linked they are you have skirts to female(gender) in that framework. If you want to identity as female (sex), then you will gravitate to the female gender(gender) clothing options. As a short hand. It’s not the only way but it is undeniable that it is one of the easiest.
It’s just working with the tools, behaviours and context of the reality around you

Third option: male fashion fucking sucks?

I so want to try tights, i absolutely have the legs for them. I also probably have the legs to flex and rip them all over tho xD

Third (horny) answer: easy access.
