It is one thing for a genetic male to wear clothing of genetic females. It is quite another for a 50 year old genetic male to wear the clothing of a 16 year old genetic female. Just the visual is enough to make *some* people immediately think pervert.
Just as I stated in the school girl thread, I feel it is exploitation of young girls.
Now given the fact that I am married to, and fully accepting of, a crossdresser, how do you think those "not in the know" about transgenderism would view a "mature" male dressed like a pre (or post for that matter) pubescent school girl?
This all goes back to the reason men crossdress. The majority say they adore all things feminine and wish to emulate women. Well, I have not seen many 50 year old GG's wearing clothing better suited for a GG who is sixteen years old. When I do encounter this, I notice that they are oggled and snickered at.
Absolutely one has a right to dress as they please. I would only ask that they keep attire which draws negative attention to the CD community and exploits females, in private.
