There are so many cis guys who'll say things like "Oh how I wish I could wear dresses/skirts/etc." and I just wanna tell 'em that they can do exactly that? It's not going to change your gender or anything... It might get you started though but hey.
The hardest part is going and buying those things, especially when many dresses are not made for masculine builds. I've received enough judgemental looks to only shop in-store with women friends, but it's still hard to have the confidence to try something on.
Oh we definitely get that. We're more than confident wearing whatever out but still prefer shopping at thrift stores where it's quieter and nobody's really there to bother or judge. Though not a lot of thrift stores have changing rooms so it's kinda going in blind if you don't know your exact sizing and measurements yeah.
