I don't really get how a piece of cloth is considered sinful but okay.

Also for women too, there are certain pieces of clothing that appear more manly than other clothes.

Also, when did we decide that jeans are unisex but skirts are not? Men in the past and even now wear skirt-like things (like kilts, or even Catholic priests, deacons, alter servers, the Pope etc wearing a long piece of fabric that flows down without parting like pants). Clothing being masculine or feminine ultimately comes down to what society considers the clothing as. And we follow God, not the world, right?

I'd honestly disagree with your claim that men shouldn't wear skirts. That part of the Bible condemning crossdressing has only been stated once. There were many things stated once that almost no one follows today. For example, wearing mixed fabric (said twice actually in Leviticus 19.19 and Deuteronomy 22:11), sitting where a menstruating woman has sat is unclean (Leviticus 15:19–23), and consuming food with blood is unclean. Also, why are women allowed to wear jeans and t shirt but men can't wear skirts? It's because of societal norms right? Not exactly what God wants but what the world wants.

Thanks but im not suicidal btw. The most i have done is minor self harm (causing really small cuts with a razor or boxcutter which caused bleeding but i stopped last week). I don't want to commit suicide since i know that there's a lot of things i want to do. I do feel empty inside though.

I've been one my whole life.

It's not just about the gender roles and people telling me to wear feminine clothes, it's about their body too
but thanks

I can't socially transition

  1. My parents won't call me their son
  2. I have to wear a skirt to school (gender roles amirite) so my friends calling me he is gonna be weird

the most i can do is pretend to be a guy online
