Your opinion on crossdressing

[Lewieroo0]

If somebody wants to crossdress then thats fine with me, heck, i know somebody who crossdresses and he's a pretty good mate of mine. But i will be honest that it does creep me out a bit sometimes if its really out there -_-

Is there such a thing as crossdressing anymore? It seems that girls can wear blue jeans, polos, and hoodies without being crossdressing. But also these versions of them are heavily feminized. On the other hand there are some things that are still called crossdressing, a man wearing drag, for instance. But these things only apply to males. It would seem that there is no such thing as female crossdressing. What are your thoughts on the subject?

I suggest if you're in Brisbane, Queensland anytime soon go to The Beat, The Wickham or Family (on fluffy night). Believe me your first question will instantly, luridly and vividly be answered.

I've seen women dressed as men. On several occasions I've even seen women with fake or penned on facial hair. You mention jeans, polos and hoodies, but as you also point out what they wear are feminized versions. I've seen women wearing clothes that are intentionally masculine.

I remember a builder who had come through to price out renovating the kitchen I worked at. I couldn't work out what was out of place with this guy until one of the managers pointed out he was a she and she was also going out with a female manager from an affiliated venue. She did not look or sound female.
Also once at my local, I was at the bar when what I thought was a young skinny kid wondered past the bar. When the person left we all looked at each other and said "was that a guy or a girl?" It turned out to be a young waifish girl who only dressed in guys clothes and cropped her hair in a men's style.
I also once saw a lesbian couple walking in the Myer mall. At first glance you would have thought they were a young hetro couple, up close though one of the girls had her hair cut short in a men's style, wore a man's suit and tie and had a penned on goatee.

I'm noticing a lot of people talking about jeans as though traditionally only men should wear them and women only wear them to feel at home with the boys.

My mother used to wear jeans when she was a child and that was back in the 1940s, and I've always considered both items to be gender neutral. Could someone clarify their thoughts on this.

If it's comfy by all means wear it!

 

[Broken Boy]

Who decides what are woman cloths and what are guy cloths, and why should you care what someone else wears?

^ Love this ty Nova ^

OT: Speaking from the point of view as someone that has thought a great deal about it. I don't mind it & wish I could get away with it but alas I haven't the body for it. As for those that say people do it for attention that may be true on rare occasion but not always. I would do it just to feel like the girl I should be I would love to be pretty. Basically I think that is more along the line of thinking they just want to feel pretty. Or it might just be me.

All in all I have to agree with Nova what does it really matter...

Whatever floats your boat and sinks the naval ship.

Clothes are clothes, people should have the right to wear what they want. I would assume a world claiming 'freedom' wouldn't try to hinder the freedom of wearing whatever makes someone happy.

My Social's Study teacher once told us that as a kid, women wearing pants was considered as funny as seeing a man in a dress.

To put things into perspective, my old school had this day where each gender would wear the opposite gender's clothing.

(One guy showed up in a tank top and tight jeans)

Anyways, I was talking to this girl... and not once did I know she was crossdressing. Only until she told me specificaly that she was crossdressing and that it was her brothers clothes.

I don't see a problem with it. As was said, females wear guy clothes all the time.

Guys should be given the same liberty. Not that I'm into that kind of thing, but if I chose to do so, I should only get the weird looks I get normally.

Oh I'm not denying that. My parents used to tell me about etiquette for going out to the 'city'. A lady HAD to wear a dress, petite coat, gloves and a hat; A man HAD to wear a tie, coat and hat. To do otherwise was scandelous!

However since fashionable pioneers such as my Mother came around I was under the impression that in these modern times jeans and denim in general were gender neutral and could be worn my all lay-men and women without discrimination.

Well I had to wear a female shirt once and I felt so damn girly.

Moral of the story: I'm never going it again.
[sub]I don't mind if others do it, as long as they aren't all in your face about wearing a skirt or somethin'.[/sub]

 

[GeneralFungi]

I don't have a problem with it.

People can wear what they like. If what they are wearing happens to belong to the opposite gender, so what? You can drone on and on about the sanity of the person cross dressing but in the end, they are wearing the clothes they want to wear.

That's like me walking into your closet and telling you that you can't wear your favorite shirt because palm trees aren't suitable for winter.

I bet a skirt would be nice on a hot day. Better airflow than shorts so my manhood won't be as sweaty and thus won't be as smelly.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Whatever man, people do what they're into.

 

[Trilaanus]

Nothing wrong with it at all, seen and accept plenty of males and females that do it and do it well. It's about time we lost the stigma of what we decide to cover ourselves in. As long as your junk(male and female versions) aren't flippity floppin' around outside of your home or a naturalist commune nobody should care.

 

[flim.geek.chic]

This is Androgynous female

This is crossdressing female

This is Androgynous male

This is Cross dressing Male

Any questions?

 

[xFullmetalx]

I'd rather not see dudes in dresses on a regular basis lol.

Youre thinking of a kilt dude and they are the most fun garments ever made. My boyfriend wears them, and sometimes I do too.

 

[Haydyn]

What exactly makes clothes either male or female clothes? Standards that have existed for thousands of years with little question. I'm totally fine with crossdressing "as long as they can pull it off." I'm reminded of the scene in Little Nicky with the crossdressing man. That does not paint crossdressing in a glamouring light.

I wonder if I could go up to the cash register and attmpt to buy panties with a straight face.

 

[CATS FTW]

I'm bothered when homosexual men do/wear creepy stuff for attention. It's kind of like throwing it in my face when I don't give a damn about your life choices in the first place.

What about when heterosexual men cross dress?

why would any heterosexual man crossdress? besides halloween?

Dude, I do that shit aaaaaaaall the time, in fact one of the only times I wasn't wearing some article of womans clothing was on halloween, actually, even I find this a little strange, hmmm.
