Will people think Im gay?
A few people will, out of total ignorance, make this connection. It’s because they think(1) you are cross-dressing (you are not), and (2) cross-dressers are gay, which is definitely not true. Studies show that most cross-dressing men are heterosexual, mostly married, and normal loving husbands and fathers. Thus, to equate the clothing one wears with being gay is a gross error. There are many fashionable men who are not gay, and plenty of gays who are not fashionable. In any event, the physical benefits and comfort of wearing legwear transcends any stereotypes, so you can be confident in the apparel you choose. Conversation: “I notice you’re wearing pantyhose. Are you gay?” Response: “No, I’m not gay. But I have a friend who is gay, and he has a shirt just like the one you’re wearing….” Get the point?
