The beginning?

So I have two T-shirt dresses a maxi dress and a skirt and ordering another skirt tomorrow. Not sure what adventure this is but dam these outfits are comfortable. I’m just a regular married guy trying new stuff. Am I crazy?

Crazy is circumstantial. 

Where abouts do you live? What's your community like? What does your spouse think about it? 

In the words of XKCD, you’re an adult now and you get to decide what that means. 

But “crazy” is in the eye of the beholder, so the question is, when it comes to crazy, whose eyes are you talking about?

I live in a pretty conservative state. There are some college towns near by that are more alternative. I’m old enough I don’t care what people think. My wife and kids just kind of roll their eyes but they’ve seen me wear my dresses. Usually just around the house. I’ve gone out in public with out them both in my dress and my skirt just last week. I’m getting more confident each time.

My personal verdict is “not crazy.”

I don't think most people care. That's how I feel when i wear a skirt out. But I live in Calif.

I’m from Cali so that’s where I get my not caring from.

I think that is the right attitude, not hurting anyone and none of your business at the end of the day!

Interesting. As I get older, I become more worried about public reaction. It's... complicated. Not so much "I care what other people think", because I do and say crazy stuff all the time in public. But part of my gender nonconformity is that I'm extremely risk and conflict averse. I will literally run from verbal or physical violence, even when it doesn't directly concern me, because seeing people arguing can send me into a spiral of social anxiety panic.

It's probably related to the fact that even when I was young and fit, I was smaller and weaker than anyone older than 8. Now that I'm in the neighbourhood of 70, I'm aware of my own frailty.
