Women dressing in what were once considered men's clothes, is accepted as normal now. Gays and lesbians have struggled, and still struggle some, but are now accepted for the most part, BUT... men wearing what are still considered women's clothes:dresses, skirts, bras, hosiery, high heels pumps, womens sandals, wigs, lipstick, makeup, fem inine tops, and coats, this is still for the most part, not accepted, barely tolerated, considered gay, frowned upon. largely yet. The stigma, shame and gulit feelings are very strong for some, especially being out all alone.
