@ArishMell @OlderSometimesWiser What's interesting about this specific rejection is that this picture was taken on a walk around the village so I wasn't wearing a bra and was also not wearing lipstick.
I don't actually try to look female anyway; I mean I don't put on the clothes as a disguise, I'm just trying to be me and that just happens to have a feminine look. But feminine here means a kind of theoretical femininity, not what is actually out there in the world around me.
If I really wanted to imitate most of the women I see around me I'd be wearing jeans and trainers! I think I've seen my sister in a skirt only once in the last ten years. I haven't tried counting but I'm pretty sure that for every one woman I see in a dress or skirt I see at least fifty wearing trousers.
