Society actually promotes crossdressing

So, I wanted to go out and buy a girly Halloween costume early so I wouldn't be doing it in the presence of potential homophobes, and it turned out to be an enlightening experience.
I started at CVS where I bought a black wig and a white bra. The cashier had quite an enjoyable time listening to my story about my girlfriend wanting to dress me up for Halloween, and later told me that I should have gotten a black bra instead. Seeing as they were 2 for ten dollars, I ran back and grabbed one. While I was thumbing through to find my size, a passing shopper declared, "That's strange." She had a good laugh at my story too, then suggested a buy some knee highs to go with my skirt.

So, as you can see, society doesn't frown on crossdressing after all. In fact, they're more than happy to give you tips about it.[/img]

Some parts of society doesn't frown cross dressing after. I wonder if they would have responded in the same spirit had you told them you were a cross dresser? Yet one of the problems with us is some of us frown on cross dressing. I often wonder just how much we contribute this problem subconsiously.

This was really more of one of my sarcasm trips. I do that a lot in my writing. Ya know, one of those authors who writes the opposite of what he means. Notice how I point out how everybody starts out luaghing hysterically first? It's my subtle implication that they really don't accept it and just view it as their own source of amusement through someone else's humiliation.

Thanks for explaining that Becca,

Although that sort of thing is not my cup of tea...have fun with it.

Maybe I should think before I speak, but the only benefit I see for a crossdresser to dress up at Holloween, it just that it is just a once a year chance for a "closeted CD" to express their gift without having to deal with the potential harassment that they may endure on any other day of the year! Those who take that route must surely be treading on thin ice so to speak if, year after year that is the route they choose. It would seem to potentially raise some suspecions. However, I guess if I think about my soon to be ex- father-in-law and he has doned the feminine attire every year I have know him and no one seemed to be the wiser??

I mean who would think a minister could be a crossdresser???
