Sitting in the doctor's waiting room yesterday (wearing my "tighty whities"), I was reading a story in Time magazine about gays (and I presume crossdressers) in Africa. In some countries in Africa, being gay or even supporting gay ideas is a crime, punishable by prison or even death. So much for "acceptance".
While we may be relatively free to go out in public wearing women's clothing or even presenting ourselves as women in the USA, Europe or Australia, this behavior is not accepted in most of the rest of the world and we should keep this in mind when talking about acceptance.
