Umm, are we following along, at all? Regarding TS's, I was simply using the same "logic" that because they are not present in my personal circle of everyday life, then they must not exist anywhere -- even though we already know full well that they actually *do*, albeit elsewhere! This is precisely the train of thought used by the person I was replying to. "It doesn't happen in my tiny portion of the world; therefore, it doesn't happen anywhere!"


People can shut their eyes, put their hands over their ears, and scream excuses as loud as they want... But it still doesn't change the fact that quite a few GG's, for all kinds of various reasons, wear all kinds of clothing from the men's department! And this is certainly nothing new... This has been going on for a loooong time (well before the GG who made this YouTube video was even born, I may add ).

It really is beyond belief that some refuse to accept this basic fact. Not sure what the big deal is. Maybe some really do have an issue, perhaps subconsciously, with people wearing the "wrong" clothes?

And this is not some CD'er's "fantasy" trying to justify themselves or make themselves feel better -- this is real life. It's a big world out there, and nothing wrong with expanding one's horizon every now & then.


Anyway, let me get this straight: So in order to be a CD'er, a guy must wear dresses now? Thank God for that bit of info -- because I don't own a single dress!

Of course, I now wonder what I'm even doing here, then?

But at least you qualified it with "in our society." Because we already know that in other places around the world, throughout history, including present day, that accepted men's clothing may be "skirts" or "dresses." Then again, "our society" is also quite diverse, arguably becoming moreso by the hour. So, you know... You may need to redefine "our society" in order to include these cultures & their customs.


abbie:

How much proof would you like? Would 10 examples suffice? 100? 500? And what exactly, in your eyes, "counts as proof"? So, examples (mine & others') from the internet are totally out of the question? Fine. If anyone would care to visit, I'll introduce them to the GG's in my life, past & present, who have either worn my guy-clothes as part of their daily outfit, or have worn guy-clothes that either they or loved ones own. Will that be good enough? Or will excuses be made for them, too?

I can only lead a horse to water -- but I can't make it drink.


Anyway, I will leave off with this. No frills, no qualifiers, just straight-up from the professional word-experts...
