The thing is, gender roles usually prevent trans women (and sometimes trans men) from wearing those clothes in the first place. I’m a currently semi-closeted trans woman and I don’t plan on wearing dresses or skirts all the time. But it’s something that I’ve rarely had the chance to experience in the first place, that other women typically do. (Plus, I look kinda pretty in them :3)
Also most people associate wearing dresses and skirts as something women usually do, so people will be more likely to gender me correctly even if I don’t “pass”.
