This question is obviously aimed at the men, dykes and cross-dressers.
So.. have you ever worn a dress in public?
I don't want to hear about your bedroom activities, which may include dressing up in a large frock.
When I worked in Yangon a few years ago, it was expected that I wore a baso (Burmese frock). This is the skirt-like garment that most Burmese men wear.
So I purchased a baso from the local shop, mastered the art of tying a large knot at the front to stop it falling around my ankles, and all was well with the world.
In fact, I enjoyed the comfort of this frock, the ventilation around my gonads, and ease of flashing my tackle at the local lasses.
On my return to BKK, I felt so comfortable wearing it, that I ventured out on Sukhumvit Road wearing this item of clothing. Needless to say, I started to get the wrong sort of vibes from passersby, and therefore removed it (not immediately of course).
Nowadays, my baso stays firmly in my wardrobe, at least until I find a matching blouse.
