| 1 | It's perfectly Legal, in most public places...AND the Psychaitric Assn., has determined NO Longer deamed a "Mental Disorder" Also, Look up the Bill of Rights!
(Though most men that do, try & "pass" as a 'Woman", if possible, and it's been around in nearly all cultures, from ancient China, American Indians, (revered Shaman, even) throughout History, as "acceptable" in many cultures. And entertainment values, from Milton Bearle, (late 40's - early 50's) to Tom Hanks (Boosum Buddies), Tootsie (Dustin Hoffman) , Mrs. Doubtfire (Robin Williams), John Travolta (Hairspray), Ru Paul...See todays News, on depicting Barak Obama, AND Michelle Obama, as well! (Did a great job, and 65% thought was funny!) | do you think it right for guys to wear dresses? |
| 2 | Yes, It's relaxing, without the detrimental to balance effect, of alcohol. It makes an excellent muscle and mind relaxer, as well as helps nausea, if suffering from that. In my opinion, it should be de-criminalized. I used to smoke more than I do now, and only use a very small amount
later in the evenings on occasion. | Do You Smoke Marijuana? |
| 3 | I hate it when people drive in the fast lane as slow as the other lanes, and no one in front of them, without moving over for faster traffic to pass. Also for people who try & merge onto the freeway at 35 - 40 MPH, and expect to merge into traffic going much faster. | What driving behaviors of others annoy you the most? |
| 4 | For those few whom deem crossdressing a "mental disease", the fact is, that it has been demoted from that designation, by the world psychiatrists, and psychologists a few years ago, and many I know personally (Not as a client) say it's perfectly normal! I am as much a MAN as any, for ironically having the "balls" to wear what I please, and where, though, if going out in full drag, play the part of a "woman" for societies sake. Plus, it's my own rights to "Freedom of Expression", as well as guaranteed in the "Bill of Rights" Anyone has the right to their own opinion about it. We "Crossdressers" are more discriminated against than Gays, in my opinion, and am a Totally straight MAN. (Or perhaps a "Lesbian", trapped in a guys body?...A humorous slant, of mine) I do have more empathy for the effort women face in our western societies emphasis on women and "beauty", and appreciate my Maleness even more, after very long "enfemme" (Drag), as it's not easy walking in high heels. I do however, try and emulate a woman's behavior, and dress classy, & try to not attract attention to myself. If anyone has a "problem" with it, it's from their own narrow, or uninformed views. 95% of Crossdressers, are straight males, and it's been prevalent in many societies, from ancient China, to Japan, American Indians, English theater, etc. | What do you think about Crossdressing? |
| 5 | No kids here, but first, I would say it's natural for many boys to be curious of girls clothes, and would be supportive, and help him, after discussing his reasoning further at home first. Then work out a plan accordingly. (And if married, ask his mother for fashion advice & help.)(Especially since I sometimes cross-dress at home, and Halloween is always fun, and socially acceptable to do so,) I also occasionally even go out shopping "enfemme" (in characture) at times. I think it makes me apreciate & have more empathy for what women have to go through to get "pretty", and apreciate being a guy even more, after walking in heels for very long. (((Ouch))) (I'm also a straight male, as are 95% of cross-dressers). I only go out in womens clothes (If completely dressed in womens clothes) as a "woman", so as to avoid being ridiculed for it, since there are too many self righteous bigots who would jump at a chance to take issue with it, or even want to harm others for it. I would explain all these reasons to him, and commend him for making the choice of dressing like this at home, and for Halloween for those same reasons, (at least at his age) but discuss his views, and his reasoning and feelings for wanting to, so as to help him deal with any issues that may evolve from those feelings. I'd do my best, even telling him he looked pretty, after help w/ clothes, etc., if that's what he wanted.
I in no way think dressing as a girl would influence whether he turned out "gay", (Since that would be predetermined before age 11.) But I'd be supportive if that was the case as well, and love him no matter what his preferences were. | How would you react to your son if he asked you this? |
| 6 | Yes, and I liked them, and the feel over panties is nice. I wear them with a dress & heels, whether just at home, or going out shopping as my "alter ego" in drag once in a while, and will again as I see fit. (And I am straight, as are 95% of crossdressing males.) | For guys: Have you ever worn pantyhose before? For girls: Have you ever loaned a guy a pair of pantyhose or know that a guy took a pair of yours to wear? |
| 7 | I'm a straight cross-dressing male, who occasionally dresses as a woman. If I'm shopping for a dress, or womens clothes shopping, I dress & act as a woman would, thinking for me, that I appear as a woman, so is socially acceptable to dress like one, and find most very respectful of it, or don't care at least...And why should they? I like them with a dress & heels, but a few hours in them is my limit generally. (Tights are better for hiding leg hair, since I prefer not to shave legs though) I wish it was socially acceptable for a guy to wear whatever they wish, without the masquerade, and more power to guys who can do that, such as Ford guy, and those like joalis, wolf359, etc.,who accept others as they are, and their right to dress as they please. And yes, a woman can wear all mens clothes with impunity. Many men wear hose, or tights for various reasons, like warmth, massaging effect on legs, or just fantasy / erotic feeling w/ some nice panties under reg male clothes. Why should anyone else care? Though many women would have a "problem" accepting a guy if they knew that side of him, and have met many women whom share that view. (It's all due to our puritan roots and social upbringing, that ingrains the "unacceptable" label on men and having their masculinity questioned for such desires.)
I think Ironically, that it takes balls for a man to express himself however he wishes, with no worries of how others view his sexuality for it. (Though I prefer the anonymity of the costume or appearing as a woman, but still have the guts to go out shopping as one of the "girls" at least.) To me it's an antthropological study of sorts on society and culture, and also kind of fun to see peoples reactions. And I've even gotten a few compliments and knowing smiles from women for my right to express myself as I wish. I also feel no less a "Real Man", for it. | What do you think about men wearing pantyhose? |
