Sometimes I will be asked, "Why are you dressed like that?"
Innocently, I reply, "Like what?"
"Like a woman."
"No, I'm just a guy in a skirt, tights, and heels."
"Your nails are painted."
"I think they look nice, don't you?"
Some folks want to get to the root of the matter: why a fellow is dressed in clothes of the wrong gender, as they see it. It doesn't seem right to them, and they demand to know why.
Maybe I should ask them to be quiet, because I am in disguise, or perhaps on an undercover operation. I could claim to be in crossdressing camouflage. Or a journalist investigating mini-skirts. Etc., Etc.
Please feed me some suggested responses to those who find my apparel unsettling.
I just love to confuse people.
