Would you cross-dress in a world of only one gender? (Poll)

[OneRanter]

Who knows? It seems like a perfectly impossible situation to me, and yet the post clearly states this:


But, honestly, even if you placed me in a world of actually normal men, I don't think I'd hold up well. With nobody else able to understand my gender, wouldn't it be impossible to respect it? Wouldn't it be constantly under pressure, with society trying to erase or ignore it?

Dysphoria must be inevitable, and there'd be no hope of relieving it, because I'd be well and truly alone on the planet.

On a more serious note, please don't let that kind of people define your idea or standard of what men are. In my experience gender toxicity does not come from a specific gender but is aimed at them and it is harmful of people of any gender.

Those you speak of, I do not aknowledge as men. Just as someone being born trans is not a man/woman for their genitals, having a pair of balls and a dick does not make a man.

To me, a man (or any member other gender for that matter) should understand that the world does not need to fit their standards nor expectations. Those demanding so from eveyone else are at most entitled brats, regardles of their age. But that's what you get with mediocre education+missinformation and fear.

I have this friend, and he is so kind, brave, and understanding. Going to great lenghts for the people he cares about. Sometimes suffering in silence from his failures and broken expectations, keeping it inside only to protect the people that depend on him. Sometimes sharing his success and happiness without asking for anything in return.
He is what I feel a man should be, an I refuse to put him together in the same group as pricks too afraid of doing the dishes because the world would look funny at them.

So by all means, please don't let that people be what your model of a man is. I'm certain you can find a better idea of Men somewhere else.

I'm trans and a lesbian and I have Eyebrows To Raise at the way you've worded the one trans option and the assumption I'd be okay crossdressing back to male.

It was poor design of the poll for sure

I think it would be fine to answer female and never.

1. Would you cross-dress in a world of only one gender? Why or why not?

2. Suppose that a magical fairy gives you a potion that can magically change your appearance to the opposite sex. Would you use this potion? If yes, how often would you use it?

3. Suppose that the magical fairy also offers a permanent gender-bending potion. Would you take it?

4. How much pressure do you feel to conform with society? What if you started applying to jobs and attending job interviews?

So. Me being nonbinary. Would mean I was 50-50 transported to world with all (cis) women or all (cis) men.
1. Almost everything is "crossdressing" when you're nonbinary in my opinion....It depends on how wide the gender expression/clothing style of the world is, but I suspect I will be feeling dysphoria all day every day
2. If I had two sets of potions that changed my appearance to male and to female...I guess I would try them both out lol
3. Nooooo unless it was a nonbinary gender bending potion
4. Much pressure. But I probably will keep wearing the clothes I'm comfortable with, unless there is a real physical danger. I would try to apply for more...online jobs then? Or for more casual environments.

Is this aimed at me or my father? Because all that baloney isn't my idea of men at all, but I'm afraid logic is completely lost on my dad and anyone else who thinks like him.

(The OP actually makes it impossible to insert my real understanding of men into this setting, though, because it's already pre-decided for us that they can't have long hair or wear dresses or skirts.)

It can be hard to remember from day-to-day when these sort of fools won't stop harrassing you about it, but I know that this isn't what being a man is about.

I've had a lot of good male role models in my life in the past. Tragically, they've all either died, developed dementia, or we aren't as close anymore for other reasons, but they exist and I try to remember them.

Plus there are starting to be a lot of stellar role models amongst Youtubers these days.

Overall, I should be fine. But thank you~!

More at your dad, since you said he talks about being manly, etc...
It just reminded me of the vid and I thought it would make you laugh to see it.

Also, she's a fashion historian who enjoys wearing vintage styles hence why she looks like she's from Bioshock since the style of that game was heavily influenced by our own history. I forget which decade but it's supposed to be like that, aesthetically.
(^-^)

I don't really get the Mr Bean thing, though.

T-This Ranter definitely didn't waste an hour watching fashion videos!

True I suppose...

And I know I am thinking of something totally unrelated, but sometimes I wonder, what nudists think about all this... They try to wear nothing at all given the choice.

I'm too lazy to make my own clothes, so sure. I'll wear mens' clothes and take that temporary potion just to feel more comfortable in them. I would run around naked at home, though. I'd work on looking for someone who finds my original body sexy, though.
