I think when folks see a male dressed to what ever degree female they think he's strange, whacked out, gay, effeminate, he's a joke, lets laugh and make fun, why would a guy want to wear heels, skirts, makeup, he looks so *&%$*. This judgement also includes sales assistants in Victoria Secret, Payless, cosmetics and others that appear to accept a man in fem but "really" don't. Why does he do this, what's wrong with him ???? I think how few of them think a little further and see that a CD loves feminity, women, a woman's persona and relates and wants to be like they are.......feminine, he prefers this to being male. Why is this wrong, he's doing his best to be and present what he wants to be, he wasn't fortunate enough to be born with all the physical, mental and emotional gifts they have but he's trying the best he can to be like them. He was born with a brain that's drawn to feminity, he can't change his brain and neither can they. He's not a threat to them or anyone else!! They should try to understand there are some males that really dislike the harsh, rough world of being male and are drawn to softness, the non-violent world of the female which includes being pretty, soft fashionable clothing, mannerisms, etc. Women and folks just like crossdressers have different tastes, some like spicy foods and others don't, some fish in the rain and others would hate it and some guys wear bra's and panties; are we that different?? Perhaps if they thought a little further into "why" he is wearing the clothes they wear maybe society wouldn't be so non accepting, judgemental and harsh on CD's and accept them a little more.
