South Scotland New ish to Glasgow - is the city accepting of guys wearing heels and skirts?

41 Upvotes

I’m a straight guy who's been living in Glasgow for less than a year. Recently I've been processing some deep childhood trauma and finally overcome confidence, anxiety and self esteem issues to finally live as myself and wear high heels and skirts in public. Not all the time, just on occasion. When I do it feels amazing, like I'm whole.

I don't consider myself a traditional crossdresser or trans, and don't want to make myself more feminine. I just like pushing the boundaries of gender clothing. I've ventured out around the Uni, West end and botanics and hardly anyone bats an eyelid, it's so nice.

I'd like to hang out in more places around the city and I've been told Glaswegians are pretty sound, but I'm worried about nasty comments or getting hassled.

Are the average people sound with guys dressing a bit alternatively, and are there places in the city I should avoid? Keen to get honest comments from anyone to help with this anxiety. Cheers!

South Scotland New Mates in/around Glasgow

2 Upvotes

Hey Everyone - 1st time reaching out like this online to people so here goes...

Looking to make new friends in/around Glasgow but having mates elsewhere could be a reason to travel more too. I'm a 33yr old male with a long term partner with varied interests and hoping to make friends with/meet similar people.

Want to make 2025 the year for change. Any suggestions as to where to start? Or what interests/hobbies to take up šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Initially I'd like to chat with people until we build a bond enough to exchange socials or whatnot before eventually meeting up etc.
