The only accepted picture of transvestism is when it is as comedy and making fun of it. Take Eddie Izzard as a very good example. The thing he is doing is to use his transvestism as parody, and there are lots of other examples in the media, tv-shows and movies. Thats why its very difficult for ordinary crossdressers to become acceptable when everyone see it either as a joke or as a sexual perversion. Its kinda sad, because i think the world are missing something.
