Short of the beard, I can say I would tolerate it. I would not want to be intimate, but then again I don't need to be intimate with her when dressed.
My wife has had very short hair and usually wears pants and very little makeup. She wouldn't be mistaken for a male due to her size and fine features, but she could and does easily move about without any negative responses. This I think is a difference that doesn't apply to males. A guy wears a pink men's shirt and people get all over him in many instances. If a CD wants to go out, they need to blend or else there will be looks and comments made. . How? Generally there is little middle ground. Sure we can underdress or put on women's jeans but if the pocket design is noticed....
Here, in a recent post in shopping, the comment was "I saw a male SA in the women's section and realized he was gay". The OP for this thread may be making a point, but the fact is that gender expression options for females is freer than males in most locals and society groups in NE USA, IMHO!
