Watch the movie Sorority Boys. They are portrayed in a comical sense but they soon get in touch with their feminine side. I whish I has some of the outfits they wore. Billie Jean

I'd love it if used some "passable" actors. I also really enjoy the idea of a female acting a male role who crossdresses!Originally Posted by Billie Jean
A lot of things become a basis for ridicule. A fat person, a short person, someone who has a big nose or ears, someone who is very skinny, and someone who comes from a different social class can become all used to "poke fun" at someone who differs. It is sad because it is those of us who have been the object of ridicule restrict ourselves from the general public and implode into our own little space. Usually the perpetrators take the point of difference to extreme and exploit it for their own amusement. It becomes a problem when someone (victim), an object of the ridicule takes it to heart and says enough is enough. The society has in itself created a wake up call, but over time the memory fades.
I think some media have a lot to answer for by way of comments from supposedly trained journalist. I especially am appalled at comments relating to sports commentary.
It comes as no surprise when the media reports on a crossdressing issue and soon after, some "two bob comic" explores it creating a monster out of some simple news story. This seemingly becomes an accepted norm for some time.
Unfortunately so many of the public read and sees anything and take it as gospel truth. They are unable to delve into a story and explore its true meaning sifting out the erroneous garbage that flowers the truth for better sales at the newstands or TV ratings.
It does make me wonder what some people were like as children and what elements determine their future decisions.
One wouldn't think that Hollywood the champion of liberal causes and beholder of diverse lifestyles and beliefs knocks CDs. There may be an upside to all this anyway. Everytime a CD portrayal is made on TV the general public becomes aware of and less sensitized to the practice. As unpleasant as the caricature maybe, it may eventually lead to acceptance in a similar manner as with unfair and ridiculous portrayals of gays lead to their acceptance. In the meantime, it represents a bitter pill and it is our choice to be angry over the show content or hopeful that it will ultimately result in vindication and acceptance.
Good point Kathie225.
Plenty of misinformation around. And very little of the true information.
I don't necessarily agree with that logic. Negative propaganda (that's essentially what I've seen on TV) only serves to incite people against a group.
Scenes like this only serve to tell people "Men wearing dresses is funny!". Then his mother's remark at the end also implies crossdressing is some kind of mental disorder. Scenes like this one, if anything, are only detrimental to our acceptance.
None of this would bother you if you threw the damn TV away.
And lived your life like you had one.
It's not about being personally insulted by it, it's about how public opinion is shaped by this stuff. It's part of the reason why there's even such a thing as being in the closet.
I'm not passable and I go out in public.Billie Jean
