Why

Why do transsexuals, those in or after transition, always have to dress like women, preferably fashionable women? Why can't a transwoman who is comfortable in her old clothes or men's clothes continue to wear them and still be a woman? When women can wear men's clothes or women's clothes fashioned like men's clothes and still be a women, why can't transwomen?

The first thing almost all in-transition women proclaim is the day they heave all their male clothes into the dumpster or recycle bins? They proudly pronounce the day they expelled the maleness from their life and future. They claim all transwomen should love fashion, be fashionable and always love shopping for more clothes, makeup, etc.

But if a transwoman decides she likes some of her old, aka. male, clothes and loves men's clothes or women's clothes fashioned to be men's clothes, they're considered and called invalid, not a true transwoman. She can't be a transwoman. She can't be real or authentic. She's a fraud or a fake.

They refuse to see a woman is about the body and the mind and how she reflects that in her life through her public presentation, meaning her clothes is just her expression and behavior. And if a transwoman wants to live comfortable in whatever her clothes she likes, so be it. So why is it unacceptable?

That's what individual freedom is about and something every women in the transcommunity needs to respect, and not their personal view about their views on clothes for everyone. They argue for the right and freedom to be legally and physically but then argue against the right of invdividual expression as women.

In the end, clothes are just that, clothes. It's not the person, only an expression. Let's keep that in mind. Let's honor that and all transwomen however they dress.
