Subforum Name

Unread post by angel_uk »

Showing how much I'm paying attention ....

Due to a post in another thread (which I'm staying out of right now), I've just noticed the subforum tagline "Because boys will be girls", and have to ask
What about FtM crossdressers?

I know there aren't very many of them, and in general they can get away with a lot more, but they also have to work harder to create 5-o'clock shadow and reshape their bodies (things like chest strapping and extra padding), so why have an exclusionary tagline?

Before this wanders off into the whole "women can wear what they like anyway" discussion of society's unbalanced views on gender and clothing, I'll point out that just putting on a pair of trousers doesn't mean a woman is crossdressing any more than wearing ear-rings means a man is crossdressing (damn it was tricky finding the second part of that comparison without getting into goths with eyeliner)

Hi Angel, well nothing is set in stone.
What do you suggest would be apt?

As MsBehavin suggested, if you have a better tagline, we're all ears.

Well, you could use something like the line from Lola by the Kinks
"Girls will be boys and boys will be girls"

or be a bit vague with something like
"Dress to impress" or "Appearance is everything"

or just anything that's not reinforcing the general, incorrect, assumption that crossdressing only happens MtF

I was liking that one as well. I was just waiting for some more feedback in the thread before making the change.
