A 63-year-old heteros*xual man has opened up about his passion for wearing high heels and dresses.
Mark Bryan from Dallas, Texas, is a married man who enjoys wearing skirts of all kinds and doesn’t care what people think about him because he sees clothes as genderless.
According to the robotics engineer, he wears clothes that are deemed feminine by most both in the public and at his work as well as in his private life.
“I’ve received a bit of backlash from the LGBTQ+ community, accusing me of not standing with them. But how I dress is not about gender or sexuality,” he explained.
“To me, high heels give the illusion of confidence which should be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of gender and sexual orientation.
“I see clothes as genderless, and I love the freedom I get from being able to wear both men’s and women’s clothes.”
Mark went on to explain that his wife, whom he now lives with in Germany, doesn’t mind his fashion style and is fully supportive of his wardrobe which allegedly consists of 50% women’s clothing.
He added: “I first started exploring with my style when shopping with my wife and she suggested ‘why don’t we look at dresses and skirts?’ After 20 years of wearing a suit and tie, I’d gotten bored. June 2015, I started wearing high heels with pant suits into the office.
“I paired some red pumps with a red tie and never looked back. My colleagues joked ‘one day Mark is going to wear a dress’ but little did they know that I would in 2018.
“People are so ingrained that certain garments are for men and others are for women and when you cross that line, then you’re gay. I’m a straight, cis man and how I dress has nothing to do with sexuality. I love wearing what I wear.”
