Whoops, I didn't see Killdeer's reference. Here's something I posted on another thread back in 2003 in response to a similar statement:
Why on earth a crossdresser would want to wear a man's garment I just can't figure. A kilt is specifically men's wear, *not* women's. Women wear skirts and dresses and unless it's called that in jest between friends, a kilt isn't a skirt. Men have worn kilts and kilt-like garments for a few thousand years and I don't see a whole lot wrong with it. In fact, some of the biggest fans of my kilts have been women.
The kilt so worried the English that they outlawed wearing it when they outlawed the Great Pipes as a weapon of war in 1746. The kilt was a point of national pride and unity to the warrior Scots and the English did their best to squash that pride. It didn't work and the ban was eventually rescinded.
Have you ever heard something other than Amazing Grace on the pipes? Have you ever heard a Master Piper just cut loose and make them roar? It's a wild and free sound and even if you've never been to Scotland the hair on your neck will stiffen, your blood will quicken, and you'll be looking for a claymore to repel the invaders of your home, whether they be Romans, Norse, or English. The kilt brings that freedom and pride into our mundane lives and I value it for its heritage as much as for its comfort .
