My kilts are from Purple Rain Skirts out of Oregon. They’re active wear hiking kilts. They actually convert into shorts with a snap. They look like a tennis skirt more than anything. They’re lightweight and they’re my first choice for working in the yard. I own three of them and I love them. I was running a chainsaw in one the other day. I’ll be digging up my squash & cucumber bed tomorrow in one, running a tiller, etc. It’s almost past time to plant my collard greens.

But, I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll get any more bigger. I’d love to have bigger boobs, but I’m unsure I will. I’m wondering if pursuing an estrogen program any further is worth it, but I still need to see a doctor. My T has been crushed flat for years. I guess it’s important to have a low dose program in place. Because I really don’t want to transition.

But I have to say, I reeeally like micronized progesterone. It just makes me feel better. Yes, it does give you intense dreams and deep heavy sleep. It took me a while to get used to it at first. It really did mess with my sleep the first week or so, not falling asleep until early in the morning. But I’m recently retired so I really don’t have a schedule anymore.

If anyone does get on PG, the Dr. Will Powers method on Reddit is all the rage right now. Because of PG’s absorption rate taken orally you don’t get the best results are from rectal insertion. It’s kind of a pain, etc, but it’s like 80% vs 20% orally. I think it has something to do with oral goes through the liver first and rectal is straight into the bloodstream. It works.

I love my utility kilts I wear them in public and get compliments of how they like it. Some men ask me were I've got mine.

I've bought my utility kilts from a company in Utah (can't recall their name) and they are in fact very practical and comfortable. I wear them usually around the house and yard but have been hiking and camping in them. I own three wool tartan kilts, in various weights and it's amazing how cool wool can be in the summer. All my wool kilts are made by Houston's near Glasgow in Scotland. Houston is the oldest kilt maker in Scotland and true craftsmen. (kiltmaker.com) Over many years of wearing a kilt I have never had a negative comment, but often receive very positive remarks from strangers.

I’ve even looked into sleeping kilts. My wife got one for me. It is made out of flannel and it’s very comfortable.

About eight years ago when I told my wife I wanted to start wearing kilts, or even skirts, for comfort. She converted two old pair of gym shorts by cutting the crotch out of them. I later sewed them to a more skirt like appearance. At this point she also got me two thrift store skirts. One of which is is a panel skirt, so it’s more like a kilt. I’ve been wearing them daily around the house for eight plus years. I even sleep in them. They’re that comfortable. I’m wearing one now.

I only recently got the three hiking kilts. While I love myskirts because they’re so comfortable, if you ever remember the name of that kilt company, please let me know. I got a bra on your recommendation and it was great. While I love my skirts and I wear my kilts while working outside. I haven’t got the nerve to wear them to town like Chesley does. I guess it’s that non binary thing your doctor mentioned.

Let us know if you ever get the pelvic tilt. Haha. That’s one thing I do love about HRT. But, tbh, I got my ass from Pueraria Mirifica Herbs.

I found the site where I had bought the utility kilts. It's utkilts.com and I can highly recommend their lightweight cotton/poly ripstop model. I have one in olive and khaki and they are about $50 each, washable (unlike my wool ones) and they last forever. They also have more traditional tartan kilts at good prices and even if you have no Scottish clan affiliation there are plenty of universal tartans anyone can wear. It's funny that you wear a kilt as sort of cross dressing but if you know the history of the kilt it is a very manly garment and still worn by Scottish regiments of the British Army. Glad you liked the bra recommendation. I wear mine daily to both conceal and support my burgeoning breast. When was up at my doctor getting the HRT prescription we discussed liposuction to reduce them but she said I'd best reach the peak of growth before doing that and even then there a good chance they'd grow back. Oh well.... it's not so bad having man boobs but anyone considering castration needs to know it's a side effect, even if you go on testosterone replacement.

My heritage is English/Wales & Irish.

I typically like lighter garments. So, the more dressed down a kilt is, then that’s the one I’m interested in. It seems most kilt makers have to make sure they’re for manly men. All the advertising photos of the kilts are alpha macho on steroids times ten. They tend to overcompensate as to say, see? It’s NOT a skirt! LoL.

I used to hang with a pack of guys for about twenty years. We did everything together. Lots of adventure sport trips, snow & water skiing, Appalachian trail hiking. Camping. Deep woods fishing. Offshore fishing. Concerts, weddings you name it. We finally got older and settled down. I was getting tired of seeing who was going to out-alpha who. The fight for top dog got old, so to speak.

Now I’m all about comfort. I just folded laundry and counted three light weight kilts. Four skirts and I think there is four nightgown sleep shirts. I started out wanting a kilt-skirt, I guess for the non binary reason, as you say. That, and I used to have huge nuts. I hate hate hated pajama pants that binded me. Even as much time as I spend outdoors, it’s so easy to wipe sweat and flap the kilt for a breeze. With underwear and shorts, it cranks you the heat about 20° and that adds to the discomfort.

But, me & the wife spend about a month or so on the shore every year. Two weeks in Sarasota and two weeks on St. Simons Island. I wear my leisure kilt skirt everywhere. If I need to, then two quick snaps and it converts into shorts. No one has ever said anything except once I was on the way back from an outing alone and I stopped in to a dock side bar to grab a fish sandwich. I overheard an old salt with his beer buddy call me a faggot, but I ignored it.

Around here at the house, I guess because I now live in the same town I grew up in, when I moved back home 25 years ago, I know people around here and it’s a fairly Southern Fried conservative town. I’m less concerned about myboobs showing than I would be wearing the kilt. I’ve shaved my legs for twenty plus years and it used to terrify me to be seen in shorts. I stopped worrying about that a long time ago, because people don’t notice and/or care about that.

I've had the same core group of friends since my teens and we too have all mellowed out. Yet we still occasionally get up to some alpha male nonsense, just on a much lighter scale. All my friends now know I am castrated but I've been keeping my burgeoning breasts under tight wraps - both figuratively and literally.

Yeah. I keep coming up with excuses for invites in the summer up to the mountain cabin, our central hang-out place. I’ve put off too many fishing trips for my liking, but that’s really out of the question now. I’m trying to reschedule for a winter fishing trip for stripers. We’ll see.

I'm on 4mg per day, approaching B cup over age 50.

Just had my first mammogram, all is well.

Life has never been this peaceful before :)

Enjoy the journey, it's not always about the destination.

Good for you. And yes I totally agree!
