As I was replying to another thread yesterday, I started to write something about dressing according to community norms, as in something people wouldn't think looked pornographic. After some thought, I took out the sentence.
What made me do that was that in the eyes of some in society, the way we crossdress could be seen to be as offensive as a tarty looking woman, or a nudist, for that matter. Isn't it possible that someone dressed as a tart sees as little wrong with it as we view ourselves? How about the nudist? He or she could see nudity as being an expression of how they feel inside, similar to how we feel our crossdressing is our way of telling the world what we are about.
In your opinion, is the comparison fair? Or is it comparing apples with oranges, similar but still quite a bit different?
I am interested in reading your opinions, especially in regards to how far society should bend in order to be more accommodating of people who are different than themselves.
