"Now.. as apposed to when exactly?
There was a time, not too ago when a male cross dressing in public was illegal in most places in the US.. It's no longer illegal but, IMO, the public's attitude of male cross dresser has no really changed that much,
The general public still views a male cross dresser as just a gay man... or some other sort of a male pervert. .
Its nolonger being illegal has helped a bit, but not that much.
