Sissy: Cross-genedered interest
A Gay Sissy has cross-gendered interests and enjoys dressing in female clothing and adopting feminine behaviour. He may or may not identify as transgender. However, a part of him may also feel more like a woman than a man. He chooses where he plays out his sissyhood. And this can be in or outside the sexual arena. Crucially, a Sissy Boi identifies as gay. This means that he is not the same as a straight man who may decide to present himself as a woman.
Where does the term Gay Sissy come from?
The word sissy has historically been used as a pejorative term directed at gay children and men.
Many is the gay man still haunted by some vile playground bully lobbing sissy taunts at him.
The word is derived from Sister and comes with all the predictably lazy and insulting associations. Sissies were considered weak – in both physical and mental strength.
But increasingly, gay men weren’t tolerating that. And from the 1980s, they began to reclaim the word. The goal was to celebrate the Gay Sissy for his courage to subvert gender role expectations. Amen to that, sisters!
However, even now a Sissy Boi is looked down upon by some gay men. Think about the many times you have encountered demands for ‘no femmes’ online? Sissyphobia is sadly still rife amongst the gay male community. We should all challenge such prejudice.
What does it mean to identify as a Gay Sissy?
The journey of every Sissy Boi is different. Some are drawn to women’s clothes from an early age. Others discover them later as they embrace their sexuality.
It may start with experimentation. And this can be private or happen with the help of a Daddy.
A Gay Sissy loves both the feel of the clothes and how they make them feel. Devastatingly high heels, exquisite fishnets, tight little panties or lace bras are often essentials.
How can a Sissy Boi become involved in BDSM?
A Gay Sissy often assumes a submissive role. He may yearn for a big, bad daddy to make him his toy.
The play can be as light or heavy as he wishes. It could be a full-on spankathon or some kink French maid frolics. But as always, it’s about agreeing on boundaries and exploring.
