Excellent post, battybattybats (great name). Everyone should be free to express themselves as they wish. Most of us just want to express our feminine sides, but it is assumed that by dressing like women we are cruising. That is just ignorance and what women have put up with forever. In my opinion, the problem is not naivety about our signals, but naivety about how they are being interpreted. Unfortunately, a large percentage of men are idiots who view women as sex objects and CDs as fags. Some are very dangerous. And beyond that, most people in general don't have the least understanding of crossdressing and why we do it. My advice is be alert, be safe, and don't expect to be understood. Express yourself freely with those who are open to you and don't waste your time with fools who don't get it.
