Default Swedish transitvestites

More than a dozen male employees working for the Roslagsbanan train services in the Swedish capital have been wearing skirts in order to keep cool.

One of the drivers, Martin Åkersten, explained that temperatures can hit 95F (35C) in the train cab during the summer.

Uniform regulations by the train company Arriva state that skirts or long trousers are acceptable. At a meeting last year, drivers were told that shorts were not allowed.

They have given their blessing to the men wearing skirts however.

"To say anything else would be discrimination," Thomas Hedenius, the communications head, told the local Mitti newspaper

It's like they want us to keep making gay jokes about them.

A kilt would be more appropriate don't you think?

Nice word play on the thread title, Spoon.

I think I look pretty good when I wear one of my wife's dresses, it's her panties that I have problems with.

Reminds me of the Bach tune 'Hair on a G String' Better to get your own set of panties.

Do not see why they cannot wear uniform shorts. Health and safety in a skirt/kilt would be the same as shorts, both have exposed legs.
