David Thomas: 'I’m still stuck in the no-man-or-woman’s land of transition. I can’t get away with wearing frocks yet. I needed a workable compromise' ‘Going to a funeral as a transgender person is tricky: What on earth am I going to wear?’

Blank! Blank! Blankety-blank! If you recall the opening of Four Weddings and a Funeral, you won’t need me to fill in those blanks. Suffice it to say, I was channelling my inner Hugh Grant, driving down a dual carriageway, hopelessly late for a church service.

Uh pantsuit

I really don’t care, wear whatever you like. Don’t suppose the suspect will care either.

FOR FUCKS SAKE!! If you are only thinking what you will wear to a funeral then don't go. Should be thinking of deceased and relatives. Think of someone else. Smart Trouser Suit. Dont upset people for sake of upsetting them. Enough Metro Clothes

The coffin?

Whatever you like. Entirely up to your good self.

1st world problem - frankly I don’t give a fuck

Wear something black and try to remember that a funeral is not a fashion parade or somewhere you're the centre of attention, you disrespectful idiot. I cannot believe anyone can be so insensitive as to write this article, I really can't.

I mean, it’s a funeral, traditionally you dress smartly, and in black.

Strange beginnings are always a bit tricky but time has a way of smoothing out the edges. Most people are tolerant and kind, despite being nosey and judgmental.

I don’t think the person who’s funeral it is will care much.

It's a funeral. It's not about you.

It’s only ‘tricky for a transgender person’ if they’re currently undergoing transition. For the rest of us this is not a problem at all. Also most people are thinking about the person who died not what someone looks like.

Proper niche journalism. And utterly pointless. If this is what you produce, journalism school was a pointless exercise

If it helps, just realise no one gives a shit.

Sack cloth and ashes and a sandwich board saying 'I'm different' should get you noticed !

Of course because someone else’s funeral has to be ALL ABOUT YOU. The narcissism of these people knows limits. Pathetic!

So boring

What a load of garbage

Go as Darth Vader, learn to wheeze. Talk about first world problems.

Imagine trying to make a funeral about yourself...

Go as Meghan Markle. Then the Telegraph will write something nasty about you.

Er... Guess what. Women don't always wear dresses. I'm a straight woman ('cisgender' for those who like labels) and I wore a trouser suit to a funeral. Anyone can wear trousers. Obvious choice if you don't want to show off your legs. Plenty of different styles. Not a problem.

A straight jacket

Just wear black. Apparently it's good for hiding lumps and bumps.....

Why is it that LGBT groups bring themselves to the fore and campaign for equality and labour their lifestyle choice. I don't procrastinate about being heterosexual. I can't see what they can't just get on with what they want to be.

Have a Dna test that might help!!

Yawnnnnnnn

A pair of curtains! Now pull yourself together!

Unisex outfit of course - caftan, tight trousers & long flowing jacket, jumpsuit & fitted jacket; the irony is that most women would know its isn;t about how they look at a funeral. If you must be gendered that day try a hijab or a nun's habit & either way add the veil for a day

Something BLACK!!!!

Attention seeking idiot 🤷🏼‍♀️

maybe stop going on about it might help

Clothes ? Smart ? It’s not about you .

Frankly I really don't give a stuff!

Er .... we don't care what you wear or the fact that you are sexually confused. Lots of people have much more serious problems - just get on with your life without bothering everyone else.

Well - spending time wondering what to wear is a good start. ha

Who fucking cares and not news worthy

Pmsl

I mean it’s not about you... and if it is you’re not dressing yourself anyway

Maybe look like a woman for a start.

Keep pushing that narrative, Telegraph, you're fully committed. Too late to turn back now

Pantsuit or long tunic over trousers.

Current fashion for v wide leg flowy trousers with small waist might suit. Unmatching jacket. I think this is a good look for men and women.

Something black

something comfortable

A black dress?
