in feminine attire

Here, you'll find all the articles listing people who have been found dressed in feminine attire. 


It is fascinating to see the extent to which reporters describe the outfits of those found within these articles, the colours and styles of their hats, dresses, shawls, right down to their jewellery, make up and even occasionally, their socks! 


When questioned, the people give various reasons for their clothing choices, from doing it for a joke, needing to be in disguise or, often, no reason is given at all. Whatever reason they might give, there is a long history of people assigned male at birth wearing feminine attire, and here you can find a section of their stories here.
