As the OP let me say Kirsti this is a forum the purposes are to discuss things, we are having a discussion, there is no requirement for anyone to change anyones mind nor agree. You seem to be the only one getting upset. When I wrote the OP I knew it would raise some different opinions, that is what a forum is actually for. I did not expect to change anyones minds nor change mine, but I did read some really well thought out opinions from others that I did not agree with but respected their views as I hoped they did mine.

Sarahlee a 350 lbs man crossdressing should wear the same sorts of clothes a 350 lbs woman would wear. I can't imagine many 350 lbs women would be wearing sketchers tights whatever they are.
My point is if we as biological men are going out dressed as women, I feel its appropriate that we respect the women that we are dressing as. I am slim and tall and in my 50's and I have thin long legs that look great in a short skirt, BUT I feel that if I were to go out as a 50 year old woman in a short skirt its probably not very respectful at my age. I feel similarly about facial hair, a guy out in a dress with chest hair showing prominently or a 350 lbs footballer in tights...
What any of the above do in their own homes is entirely up to them, but I think we have responsibilities and obligations when we venture out
