I don't know if we are more accepting on this side of the pond. However, in the Northeast, NEW England, pun intended, the general public seems to be more accepting than at any time that I can remember. In the 80's and 90's New York City and SanFrancisco were to epicenters for crossdressing but based on what I see on this site we are now all over the country and many seem pretty open out there. I've never dressed overseas since I always go with my wife but it's on my bucket list.
