Virtually all my clothes are off the ...Hi Ralph :)<br /><br />Virtually all my clothes are off the women's racks, so of course all my underwear is too. And I want to wear pretty things, so I <em>am</em> underdressing in a sense, but it's not driven by quite the same <em>need</em>. It's just what I wear – I'm not constantly aware of it. And with a nice sort of irony, I mostly opt for "boy shorts".<br /><br />In younger (teenage) years underdressing was far more significant to me, and I'd often be wearing, for instance, a full set of lingerie under my "ordinary" clothes. (If anyone ever noticed, they didn't say anything.) All that early gear went in a one-time purge (see the question ‘Adolescent coping’ <a href="http://malefemme.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/eight-questions.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>); I've replaced it with other stuff since, but it generally stays in the drawer nowadays.<br /><br />On the other hand, nightwear is a kind of underdressing too (under the bed clothes, as it were); I have a lot of nice things there, mostly pure silk. And shaving is something else that's "under"; I have some dysphoria with body hair (though, oddly, not with facial hair). So I'm able to meet my (fluctuating) femme needs in several discreet ways. If I wasn't able to do that, I'm not sure what state I'd be in. Especially at the moment, when I'm caught in an unusually strong <a href="http://malefemme.blogspot.com/2011/10/femme-tides.html" rel="nofollow">femme tide</a> (or rip tide). A dense pink fog – a Tranny particular – that doesn't seem to be blowing away any time soon.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147186679298442560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-17025262092222915112014-11-10T18:29:53.316+00:002014-11-10T18:29:53.316+00:00If I didn't have underdressing, I'd be one...If I didn't have underdressing, I'd be one miserable tranny. I live in an extremely conservative part of the US where any hint of deviance from established norms is viewed as either perversion or terrorism or both, and ALL such deviance is indistinguishable from one another. Thus a crossdresser is a homosexual is a child molester is a goat molester etc. etc. etc. So I wear my comfy dresses in the privacy of my own home (hooray for a tolerant wife and a home office), and when I have to face the world in those nasty itchy stiff-legged jeans, I can at least do it with a layer of nylon insulating my skin from that outer shell.<br /><br />Last week I went to see the family doctor for my annual checkup, and I knew we'd be playing the "drop trousers and bend over while I snap on this rubber glove" game. In anticipation of that I wore men's trunks (actually nylon/polyester swim trunks, but men's nonetheless) and men's socks and no camisole, for the first time in over a year (and the last time was also for this doctor). But the moment we got to my car I was adding a layer of leotard and tights while my wife drove us to a restaurant.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-91329532358825036312014-11-02T21:58:16.126+00:002014-11-02T21:58:16.126+00:00LOL.

I'll probably just sit here and grumble about it ineffectually online ;)<br /><br />But yes, tights are good for cold winters. Does this inclination for hosiery give us an evolutionary advantage or disadvantage? I'm not quite sure.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147186679298442560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665598552477308153.post-79079903911492074302014-11-01T21:43:46.882+00:002014-11-01T21:43:46.882+00:00Rather than a War on Drugs, we should have a War o...Rather than a War on Drugs, we should have a War on Bullshit? Okay, so a few drones and MPs may get offed, but won't society be richer for it? :-) Hmm... Is that a little dark for an opening reply? :-)<br /><br />For the record and for what it's worth, I don't underdress, although I have in the past. It wasn't for kicks - as one commenter put - it was just for me, not anyone else. Underdressing meant I could feel comfortable with who I was. At other times, one office I worked at was incredibly cold. Being able to 'layer up' with tights or leggings, and/or a well fitted women's warm top (the men's ones were always too big and felt itchy) under my clothes was just fine for me.<br /><br />Perhaps there are some people who wear undies of different types for kicks, and if they do, I hope they're happy (so to speak), far be it for me to judge them.<br /><br />As to women wearing men's pants, given the cheese-wire appearance of the thong, I don't blame them at all! :-)Lynn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876715474502367377noreply@blogger.com
