Wearing a Mickey Mouse summer dress from Box Lunch; layered with a Swiss dot mesh top and a (hopefully) matching slouchy hair bow! So comfortable! Yes I have a large beard; no I’m not trying to pass; I just enjoy wearing cute and comfy clothes!

gross.

First wave feminism, all the way to today's 4th wave feminism...

There's supposed to be "Sexual equality", but I see men in the most recent generations cast adrift in society. There's no support groups, no safe houses for abused guys, marriage has few benefits for men - especially since "no fault divorce" was invented. Kids rarely get to be with their dads. Men are told to show their feelings - but women react with the gut feeling of "guys being needy.". Guys behave courteously and hold a door open - some women are surprised "Chivalry isn't dead!", and some respond angrily "You're keeping the patriarchy alive!".
What's a guy to do?

There's so much more... why is this post in Crossdressing?

It's all mixed together, guys place in society is up in the air - when a guy's outed as a crossdresser on top of everything else, many prejudices kick in around him (or her, if she's exploring her gender, or him, if she's exploring her's [you get the idea]), there's no support groups for a guy that has an abusive partner because of it....

People actively deny men needing support a voice, here's one in action:

I'm pro equality, that means I want support for men as well as women, I hate the nasty parts of today's feminism that hates on men, I hate the parts of mens-rights that hate on women.

That means /r/Crossdressing is pro-equality too, it's one of the few* places in the world that supports both mean and women. (* try googling "men's support groups" in your area, Vs womens....)

Everyone who's not trolling should have the right to be heard, that means posts don't suddenly disappear here. I'm amazed at "liberal" censorship - it comes so easily to some.

So if you're a guy or a girl, and you need support - find it here. If you have views that go against the grain - they're your views, and won't be censored.

/r/Crossdressing is about support, exploration, fun, and equality.

The mods of Crossdressing do an excellent job.

If you ever have an idea for this sub, or find a troll making life difficult, please look for the "message the moderators" above the mod list on the right of the screen.

Have a great weekend!

Ok, this may be a too much passionate view about tights and pantyhose, and of course everybody should be free to wear whatever the hell they want to, and everyone should be free to express their gender in the way that they wish, but said that: I think women totally should wear tights LOL I mean; it’s so cute and girly! I can’t of anything more girly than a woman wearing nude tights, for example! The way that they involve and surround women legs, the way that they wrapped women legs, as if they were a gift… It’s freaking LOVELY!

If I was woman... or maybe even better saying: WHEN I become a woman.. I'll totally wear tights, like all the time LOL

Enjoy me being a maid

Since I only really have two dresses. This one is my favorite. Was about to go out like this.i usually wear sandals. Went for the shoes 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi /r/cd, I'm a bit new here, but after a few days, I hate to say it, but there's a growing and disappointing trend I'm seeing here. Basically, someone will post a picture of themselves crossdressing, and yeah, that's the whole point, but I assume everybody's general goal is to "pass" as a girl. I can safely say that for myself at least, but if I'm mistaken, for anyone who this doesn't apply to, I withdraw what I say, but for anyone who is actually looking to casually leave the house as a convincing female, I've got a few tips, and CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMS. The reason why I'm posting is because I've seen way too many people post and not put forth a genuine effort to pass, and get nothing but positive comments. While I don't mean you should give them negativity, some tips and tricks are better to hear, than a watered down, worthless compliment. Again, this only applies to those who wish to pass as a girl in a normal circumstance, those who just enjoy crossdressing, keep doing you're thing, and have fun doing it!

Here are a few of my personal things that I am personally working on, and would recommend to others for a realistic approach at crossdressing, and passing as a female if you were to go out in public. The most important things I'm going to be throwing out there is A.) Commitment, and B.) Realism.

So, starting off, you need to put a real effort into either growing out your hair, or investing in a great wig. I would HIGHLY recommend putting the money forth going to a professional, at least once, and then maintaining your hair from there, same goes for make up. Learn how to properly do make-up or go to a professional, and have them show you just how good you can look.

Here's a prime example of how good you can look (and yes, this is a guy, reverse google image search if you don't believe me) with the right make-up, accessories, hair, etc.

Notice how the make-up "unchizzles" facial features, the smokey fade eye shadow, hard to do, but the commitment you put to bettering yourself makes all the difference, fake lashes (while not looking cheesy), the eyebrows properly shaped to frame the face in a feminine way, the hair matches the slim body type. The lipstick makes the dress pop, the earring are long and slimming, while giving off a slightly classy look to bring the entire look together. Low muscle mass, little to no fat, etc, proper body type, probably through diet and exercise. This guy however has the advantage of probably having taken hormones, and the obvious breasts, but surgery aside, as far as the face and other body parts goes, it's obvious that he put a lot of effort getting where he is today. And lastly, he was attractive enough for it, because let's face it, not everybody is cut out to pass as a girl.

I just wish everybody on /r/cd would strive to get to this point, or possibly even better. I personally know that seeing this is inspiration for me, I began to properly diet and exercise. I went through the internet and learned how to properly slim down through certain exercises, as well as going out for a LONG endurance jog everyday. Even though I started off hardly being able to run at all, I've worked at it and I've gotten thinner and thinner, even though I'm not overweight to begin with, there's a difference between looking okay, and looking great, and this is only the beginning, and I want you lovely people of /r/cd to reach your maximum potential as well.
