Anyways, I am perfectly fine with crossdressing in public, and have no objections what so ever. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, or vice versa!
Simple answer is that females can dress in styles that appear similar to male clothing or even wear some clothes designed for a male. But if she dresses to look as much like a guy as she can, including men's style haircuts etc., she would get the same stares, disapproval and general dislike from others as a man that does not pass well. Society is not ready for gender bending. I don't consider a woman to be a cross dresser unless she is doing all she can to look and act like a male.

It is not acceptable to me for a man to wear a dress, bra etc, and perhaps have a stache or beard. He is the type that puts most people off about cross dressing. And like everything else in life, there is a time and a place for everything.

I'm not ready for the laughing, humiliation, stares jokes, and ridicule that most of our society will deal out if I was to wear female clothes any place I wanted to. If I was 95% + passable and believable, then it might be a different story for me. Right or wrong, agree or not agree with me, but I do care what others think of me. I do not wish to cause scenes or make anyone around me uncomfortable. So if I was to throw caution to the wind, all these things could happen. So for me, no cross dressing in public is NOT acceptable behavior.
