Feeling conflicted (skirts) (lemmy.zip)

So I'm 30mtf (generally- on meds for a bit now, gender is confusing), and I'm into clothing and style, comfort and stuff- so I figured that maybe skirts would be great! So I ordered two- a short-ish one and a long-ish one, in case one doesn't feel right.

But of course, the short one arrived first. It's a pleated black tennis skirt, so it's a little rigid and has a (skort? shorts but under the skirt for modesty).... and.... not for me (yet?), sadly. I've worn jeans and sweatpants and shorts and such that I as a guy could just... wear, normally. So anyway, tried it on, it's a fine fit, but.... my ass has never felt so exposed, I'mma be honest. And it wasn't even, it's just the lack of tightness just under the buttocks that skirts just don't do, making it feel super weird for me even though it was a mostly modest length of skirt. Hopefully the longer one (with belt loops!) feels better- it's about ankle-length by my estimate, and flowy and.... I think it's teal? I forget. It gets here in a week or so. Maybe eventually I'll be able to wear it around the house, but... ah, I bromode too much to try being cute or wear anything cute in public (yet).

so thanks for coming and reading me ramble about my new skirt, hope it was entertaining enough for a few minutes :3

RIGHT? I actually converted a pair of jeans recently because the knees got to that point, and.... yeah, oddly more affirming than the skirt, which was amusing. I'll have to ask a local teammate what she thinks- wondering if I could just pull off jean shorts, idk, might work. Would mean I could save a LOT on clothes, since I could convert a decent amount of my old wardrobe... thanks for the reminder!

I'm a little new around here, because... reddit sucks, and I have no real roots there anyway- so, yeah, I'll try and let you know!
