I love it ....Throwing an empty stereotype out like its an insult.. it just highlights your own insecurity and old fashioned bias about men and women....
its fascinating that on one level you want to break down barriers, but on other levels you are stuck in an endless loop of what makes a man and woman circa 1955
i hardly ever try stuff on just to see it on me...life is too short...i guess i'm still a man...or perhaps i just know everything i try on is gonna look adorable..heh
my brother in law tries on a billion pairs of pants to pick one...go figure
also i do not clean my house in heels
and the thing about creepiness is not only a theoretical...i once took a cd out for a "girl time" thing where i gave her the guts to walk into the mall etc... we went into the ladies room and the next thing i know the camera pops out, she is in a stall and asking me to take a picture..sorry that's real..its a CD MINDSET.... when the cd is out and about, that is a wonderful keepsake of the femme side and i've probabaly been in more pictures than i care to count of all the times i went out as a cd..those keepsakes are important and valid...but when i saw the camera came out in the bathroom stall, i had a sense of enough is enough...
surely my friend was hurting no one, but its creepy
The world is not perfect.. and its a simple fact...generally speaking, the majority of women don't want men in their private spaces...
What Melissa said about passing priviledge is spot on.
if you are a transsexual woman and you don't look the part, you need your papers and your quality of life is going to be impacted..especiallly is some jerk gets on your case..
...that is unfair and sad to me, but no law, no ordinance or policy is going to change how people feel..
maybe someday an enlightened crowd will go co-ed or just allow public mens and womens spaces to be totally appearance based...but until then you are just gonna have to deal with it.
