I feel it may have to be worked on and change effected gradually. One aspect of enabling acceptability might be that clothing could be considered and made to be more and more non gender specific - by designers consciously making clothes which attract all genders to wear them. That can only be achieved by everyone eventually wearing whatever we wish and society generally acknowledging and accepting many different choices. The example of what I think may be a dim light at the end of the tunnel is that of three gentleman from Scotland who I bumped into this last weekend. They were jovial happy and talkative - and each was wearing his.....Kilt...and may I also think skirt...?
As this is accepted without a blink of an eye, I believe progress can be made where we can all eventually dress as we please without unhappiness...it may take some time though. So peoples attitudes to dress can be challenged yet it needs to happen more and more for it to become usual and therefore normal.
