Mad At The World: TransGlitz ranting!

I'm not just cross, I'm having a very angry dresser time at the moment. I am mad at the world. Positively raging!

This has been brooding all week but I just had to speak out as today is International Fetish Day.

International Fetish Day is a day supporting the BDSM community. The main purpose of International Fetish Day is to increase awareness and support of the fetish community, whilst also opposing the new law criminalising possession of "extreme pornography". It is also designed to encourage members of the community to be more open about their sexuality.

I hate the fact that we live in such a horribly prejudiced world where we cannot be who we want to be without fear. If I want to dress differently and look different then surely that is my right. I'm not hurting anybody or having an effect on anybody else so why can't I just be me?

As you are probably aware I like to dress up from time to time when I go out clubbing or to events. Usually this is all a little extravagant and not necessarily for daily use. I would however also like to be able to wear what I want every day, whether that be at home, out and about in town or going to work. I hate the fact that I have to think about whether or not I should do this or not. Why shouldn't I?

So many women have an amazing choice of clothes and shoes to wear out everyday, they can dress “a la femme” or “a l’homme” and nobody bats an eyelid really at what they are wearing (fashion police crises excepted of course). Why can’t that apply to everyone? Why can’t I wear a skirt out and about or to work, or wear girly shoes? What does the way I dress have to do with the way I function as a person or in my ability to do my job?

I would like to be able to dress in any casual style that I choose whether that be predominantly male, female or a combination of the two. Would I look any less smart at work if I applied that same principle to dressing business casual or even full business power dressing?

Methinks things need to change! Time to start instigating it from within! It might be little things here and there but I am tired of being (and feeling) trapped and suppressed by the prejudices of others and having to toe the line with what society sees as 'normal'.
