Every now and then, a woman will ask me, "Are you a crossdresser?"
And I always deny it. "No," I say, with a look of incredulity on my face,"Why ever would you think that?" Thinking then, What? Haven't you ever seen a man in a skirt and high heels before?
"Then why," she might ask, "are you wearing women's clothes?"
"These aren't women's clothes," I reply. "They are mine. Do you like them?"
This same sort of scene has played out many times, again and again. I resent people trying to pigeon hole me into a stereotypical cofiguration from their own imagination.
I am an individual, possessed of unique characteristics, and not a stereotype.
Which leads me to ask, How do you respond when a stranger asks if you are a crossdresser?
