Any differents?

I want know this :
In china, crossdress things is not accepted by most people .Also our mother or girlfriend.They think it's abnormal .
What about your country?? Do they accept your hobby??

[black snow]

It seems similar in this world ,women always get crazy when they know her husband or son is a cross-drasser

In the USA I would say overall its not accepted, only by a few, just my humble opinion.

I think there some small levels of tollerence here, maybe more indifference.... but not to the point of acceptence.... and it's not the same in different pats of the this country....

There is a huge amount of ignorance, mis-information and labels out there! "normal" is what the majority says it is unfortunately but things are slowly changing:)

In Mexico it is some what accepted, but all are put in the same category, gay, trans, drag, tv cd post, pre, Al.m.a

U see CDs everywhere! No one thinks much about them. Even men with beards and 'stashes, wearing dresses, don't get a second look!:heehee:

OH, WAIT! NEVER MIND! That was just a dream I had last nite! :brolleyes:

Acceptance of cross dressing in the USA - probably not very much ! Our society has been too much of the wild west where a man is a man and don't you forget forget it.

However, we can only hope that change will someday come. There is no telling how many of us actually exist in the USA. And the majority are way back in the closet and will never come out out of fear and ridicule.

The US can't be categorized like other countries since we are so diversified. There's no common culture really.

Its not funny for a man to dress as a woman and present himself to his family ......it is unacceptable but yeah may be on occasions e.g weddings for fun (as a comic) or some local crossdressers that sell local dishes may put-on one or two of female articles e.g a head veil or bungles etc but not fully dressed cos u might just freak pple out and they can really harm u cos it is iilegal to present one self as a woman in public for what ever reason this can lead serious consequences.

Black-Snow,

I don't think we can say that any country in the world accepts CDing. It comes down to the level of individual people. People who have other things to do in their own lives will not mind. Those who have nothing else more important to do than to judge you will mind. This, I think, is true all over the world. At the same time, you cannot live your whole life in fear of judgment when these other people have their own quirks too which we do not keep judging.

Within cultures there is even a larger differences between younger versus older people I think. I've noticed within the U.S. at least.

[Kate Simmons]

Regardless of the amount of tolerance or acceptance a culture has, it's more a matter of balance of the male and female energies in the bottom line my friend.:)

I think the vast majority of people in the USA have accepted CDs, and TGs. They may not approve of our lifestyle but they don't have laws prohibiting crossdressing.

That could be said about a great many countries. Canada, the UK, Australia... all have significant regional culture variations Canada and Australia have indiginous peoples and all three have had large numbers of immigrants from all over the world for many generations.

And those are just a few examples and I'm sure there are many more.
