Cross dressing/Genderfuck
 

How many of you like the concept of Genderfuck (dressing in a way that does not follow gender conventions)

Personally I love the idea. Many womens fashions I love yet are never in my size and many mens fashions I also love.

So yes, discuss.

I think it's cool, but not for me. However and whatever is comfortable and makes one happy wear it, I say!

Is there any other way to dress except in a way that makes you comfortable?

This is where I excell. I constantly genderfuck. but TBH I'm more of a transvestite. Most people I meet for the first time are unsure of my sex.

Becha can't tell my gender lolz ;D


Yes. The way society expects you to.

I feel the same way, seems like being a girl is the only way to get the best "goth" clothes. Actually, the best clothes period, guy clothing seems to be generic. I just can't muster up the courage to wear a tattered skirt or something else that girls are blessed with besides shoes haha.

As for electrosexual, I'm gonna have to guess that your a dude.

I adore, as you call it, Genderfucking. Almost NOTHING gets me hot faster. You should do it! I mean, c'mon. But you should do whatever makes you feel right in your own skin.

Holy hell, Electro, whatever you are, that's a mightily handsome photo. *drool*

Anyway, genderfuck has become one of my trademarks lately. I'm a girl, but I do love my top hat and victorian gent outfits. I've got rather androgynous facial features (although my body shape is distinctly feminine), so I've been asked a few times whether I'm a girl or a dude. Cracks me up every time. *laughs*

Now that I have short hair I can pull off the androgynous look quite well but as I have only had it short for a few weeks my wardrobe hasn't caught up

Thank you! Ayye I'm a guy ^^

Oh really. That is some sexiness there.

I don't CARE. I loooove your eyes..

Eee thank you! ^___^

electosexual - korinna beat me to it. your eyes are amazing! I have green/hazel eyes as well, now I'm going to have to try something like that.

As for the "genderfucking" thing, I love the look, but aren't of a body type to get away with it. I have some more masculine characteristics (broad shoulders, longer arms, some upper body strength) but somehow it doesn't work the way more feminine features work on a guy. I guess the tits and ass get in the way. :)

I wear guys clothes more often than not, too, but somehow mens clothes look more feminine on me than women's clothes look, primarily due to fit. I get guys jeans, there is room for thicker thighs, plus deeper, actually usable pockets, and you can actually move around in them. I usually get men's t-shirts because the women's ones don't have the room in the arms, or by the time you get a size big enough to where they do, you are wearing a tent. I get guys dress shirts because when i get a size to fit around chest and neck, the waist still comes in a bit, unlike women's button ups, which, by the time you get a 17 inch neck on them and the ability to comfortably and decently cover a 42DD chest, are again shaped like tents, not to mention the sleeves are STILL too short.

It is the same with tank tops. If I get a package of men's A-shirts, they fit, are longer and so come down far enough on my hips/waist for the hemline to be flattering and don't make my shoulders look huge. If i get a women's cut of the same thing, I look like a GD linebacker, short waisted variety.

So, I guess in way you could say I cross dress, but look more feminine than I would in women's clothes because of it. :P

Wow, Electro I'm so jealous. Your skin's almost perfect. o.o As for the "genderfuck" I think it's fine/cool. As long as one can pull it off...And not just doing it for the attention. Again...I would kill to have skin as clear as yours.

No way in hell I could pull it off. I don't mind when people do it, but I'd never pull it off.

I've worn dresses, but only during performances. Too ostentatious for everyday life, even by my standard.

I haven't worn my skirt in quite some time. But I don't really shoot for androgyny so much. Depending on how I wear my hair, I can look very very femme, but I have a body that resembles a slightly muscular male. There's no escaping it for me. So I usually have to shoot for the overly pretty guy. Where "handsome" isn't applicable.

I was a big fan of skirts quite awhile ago. I used to have a dark purple and black one that I wore when I was at home, all the time. I never had the intestinal fortitude to wear it out anywhere. So I go with kilts now. When I let my hair down (I measured it today at 10 1/2 inches) I guess I could look a little more androgenous. When I used to work retail, and get into showcases, I'd have customers come and ask me, "Ma'am could you help me with so and so?" Then I would turn around, and they would realize their mistake. I guess long hair somehow equates being female. Hehehe. I could never pull it off, and I really don't think I'd want to. It just isn't for me.

I usually wear black leather dusters, Buffalo Bill jackets, etc., so finding these in the girl's section is unheard of. Messed up my feet in the Army so heels are out. Have to wear pointed-toed 'roach killers' (we call them 'sh** kickers' here). Podiatrist's orders. Doesn't break my heart any. Only girl stuff I can find is the occasional black hoodie or cargo pants. Only wear skirts occasionally because I'm usually 'flying low.' (Lots of bills. Two jobs. Eat while running. Wash 'n wear hairstyle. Yada yada). As per dressing for 'society', hey, they don't pay my rent.

Jaye Jang, I like you. You sound familiar.

Haha I got the term genderfuck off wiki. Basically Genderfuck is messing with gender and not accepting what society says "mens" and womans", versus transvestite being someone dressing as the opposite gender. But yeah, I love genderfucking ^_^

I love cross dressing, it's boob binding good fun!

Sometimes I go totally androgynous, with like a pirate shirt with a corset with some tights jeans and belts and the hair and shoes have to be huge, I should take a picture sometime.

My "boy"friend is transgender aswell, so it must be abit strange for other people when they see us out together. Unless of course we're in a goth/gay/fetish club because they see that kind of thing all the time.

Holy. SHIT.

You are one GORGEOUS dude. Your skin's so luminous and perfect... damn you! I want skin like that. And your eyes. Let's trade?

You have an absolutely beautiful complextion.

I think some people pull it off well while others really just look quite horrid. I can appreciate it when it is well done but it's not for me. I love my femininity and am very, very girly. Heck I don't even own pants. :p Got to work on the pants thing though before we go to Alaska in May, my husband keeps bitching at me about it.
