Transgender I'm not!

With all due respect to the divirsified culture of gays or straights, men sporting control top sheer pantyhose made for men does not mean I am on the road to becoming a transexual. I wear them because I like them, but I dont fancy putting on red pumps, or wearing fish nets for that matter. I am comfortable with myself, and I think the main blame for pantyhose as women's clothing is because it has been synonymous with the female gender for quite some time. Cowboys might have crossdressed, but they did not however pick up a pair of pantyhose made specifically for them as a male macho culture. Tights for men, unfortunitely, has been out of the social limelight as regular attire for men for centuries, and will remain so unless we fail to do something about it. Yes, it takes work, initiative, and strength to start a new fad, not quite yet embraced by the total masses. Yet, in many ways, it is also replenishing what men have worn a very long time ago. Up until now, men sporting tights were required to fly in the sky, or do trampoline acts. Not to mention the wonderful world of sports wrestling, that I dont even want to get into.
Sheer pantyhose, on the other hand, is a very unique subject for the male figure, and I can see why some are dubious about it, and what it might lead to. What it might lead to? You either are into it, or you're not. People who do drugs and alcohol dont need to wear pantyhose, or for that matter can't afford it since thier allowance is spent on other things. People who are fashion conscious, who want to look nice, feel great, and want to wear what works for them are given ample choices now that this new line of pantyhose/tights has been given the official go ahead to the male section of clothing, and who want to do it in the public's eye. No, it will not lead into anything that wouldn't have happened already by itself without pantyhose intervention. Pantyhose does not lead into crossdressing necessarily, I know, because I still do not shop in the women's section of any store. Wearing my mother's clothing is much too wierd.
No, pantyhose for men is where it belongs, in the men's drawer, and ready to wear with anything he already has in his closet or dresser drawer. It is a compliment to his wardrobe, and an extension of one's inner self, and need be, a sexual stimulant to the male organ while wearing it rather than pent up organism. Men wearing sheer tights under sport clothes and dress slacks is perfectly acceptable, and quite frankly, is the way it should be worn. Do not bother with shades of lipstick or nail polish, cause if this is the way to go with pantyhose of your choosing, than you need to go with the ladies pantyhose to complete the look, rather than wear pantyhose made for men with women's clothes. Macho is, as macho does-pantyhose and all.
