    Hey Wayne, did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

      Boy, imagine when some people find out why heels were invented in the first place

      • It was for horse riders, who were almost exclusively men across Eurasian cultures

        Yes but then we discovered it makes your calves fabulous.

        Then men started wearing full trous, and women started wearing high dresses and skirts, where men wore the shorts and women went full length before.

      Yep. I find this “female clothes => they’re trans” pretty questionable. Because… clothes have no gender. Men can wear dresses and heels as well.
      And that goes for cis and trans men, I also know some trans guys that just like wearing a skirt.

        I am 100% cis straight man; I have been dressed up in drag more than once in my life and even went out in public with it. Its fun! Getting to wear pretty and cute outfits and whatnot.10/10 would do again.

        So I totally know where Bugs is coming from in this and it is NO indication of his self-identity.

          Was gonna say as a man that doesn’t mind getting sissied for a kink scene, I’m 100% cis, and I agree with your assessment.

        I agree, but I think this usually comes from a place of Bugs Bunny being many trans women’s first introduction to something outside the gender norm, and so they project that back onto the character.

        That, or they’re t4t and Bugs dressing up made them feel funny as kids in the same way that Robinhood from that one Disney movie did with furries.

        Agree. Bugs doesn’t normally have boobs though. I feel like that’s a bit different. Still doesn’t have to mean someone’s trans though.

        There’s a pretty large combination of factors that went on from what I remember. Partly it just plain didn’t get that hot that often in the UK or France back then. Partly they wore entirely different undergarments that layered to keep sweat off their actual clothes and keep them cool. Partly the summer clothes were often flowy or puffy which helped move air near the skin. And partly the fabrics they wore were different. Things like linen and cotton were the go tos. Even the linen itself was different, modern linen has shorter fibers and is much lighter.

        After the great renunciation (when men started wearing the modern(ish) suit) you start to see a lot more references to taking off layers either to cool off or to keep them clean or whatever. You also start to see variations in really hot places like the American deep south and Bermuda to deal with climates that get way way hotter than Europe with its nearby seas and cooling prevailing winds.

        Please note that all of this may be wrong and I am entirely going off what I can remember off the top of my head.
