Don't care. Obviously, drag creeps me out, but that's more cultural than anything else. If a guy wants to wear a dress, make-up, and fishnet stockings, more power to him.
It's also interesting what directions androgynous clothing can go and still be culturally accepted. Girls can wear pretty much anything, guys these days can wear girl's jeans and teeter dangerously in blouse territory, and they can even wear kilts, but the moment it's explicitly a dress, all hell breaks loose.
Also, women can't wear suits, so I guess they can't really wear anything. But the backlash for dudes wearing dresses is larger than for chicks wearing suits.

As a tangent, is Richard Simmons gay? I honestly can't tell whether he's playing it for laughs or genuinely gay.Lightnr said:
Crossdressing is awesome.
Yeah, there is a point when the line between dressing "normal" and crossdressing is blurred, that's because what defines crossdressing is societal norms in that crossdressing, well, fucks with them. But girls can still crossdress. You can get shorter haircuts, wear male clothing (there's a difference between girl's jeans and guy's jeans, same with shirts), ect. If you want proof, use Google

Men in dresses = Crossdressing.
Women in jeans = Awesome.
When you get right down to it, there really is no such thing as crossdressing for women now. Men will always seem wrong in a dress (and no, kilts do not count).

I dont mind. Some of my friends have, and I have. Its nothing big, and if you want to, I dont see why you cant. There's a double standard in it really.
You kinda have to think back why women are allowed to wear these things while men arent. Many Men love to see women expose their bodies, hence why women where skirts. On the other hand, women aren't attracted to men who expose their bodies so men just wear what keeps them comfy yet looking decent.
I don't care what men wear, but i prefer to wear whatever is practical, instead of what looks nice, not saying that im going to go dress in checkerboard pants and a striped shirt.

Because I like the feeling of fresh air against my manly parts.DeadSp8s said:
OT: I've got no problem with it. Sure some it can look weird to me, but that's probably just due to social programing. Damn you learned bias!
Hell I've even considered it myself. Mainly just to fuck with people. But I have to admit wearing a kilt or skirt would probably be pretty comfortable.
'Course you can cross dress is an annoying manner, but you can regularly dress in an annoying manner. Please don't try to fit all those extra sexy pounds of you into a piece of clothing meant to hold in only alot less. Unless that's the point... Whatever do as you like. I'll (try) not to judge.

"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, because it's okay to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think that being a girl is degrading."
I'm not saying that quote is completely true or comprehensive, but it's thought provoking. If girls can wear traditionally manly clothing, why do people think it's disgusting for men to wear traditionally feminine clothing?
It turns them on? They want to troll fundamentalists and homophobes?DeadSp8s said:
Do what you want, it's your right to dress how you choose, but don't get up in my face about it.
Why not? It's not hurting anyone, so it shouldn't be problem.
I mean, I can wear a dress or a shirt and jeans and I'm fine, but my guy friends would be mocked and made fun of if they wore the same thing. Why? Because society is silly and has these preconceptions of what is and isn't acceptable between genders.
I personally think that's just silly. If a guy wants to wear a dress and makeup, that's his business, just like it's my business that I choose not not wear either.

honestly I could not care less if ladies want to dress like the boys, or if the boys want to dress like the ladies
this in no way effects my life, and frankly I dont see why anyone would be bothered by it.

It's mostly just called butch at this point, instead of crossdressing. I see women wearing men's jeans and shirts and the like all the time, and you're right, most people don't think of it as crossdressing.siahsargus said:
