Cross Dressing Women in men's clothing, even overtly men's clothing, will not raise an eyebrow in the local supermarket on a Saturday afternoon. Women in men's clothing is unremarkable, but men in women's clothing is at best hilarious, at worst dangerous, perverse, sick. And of course, it has a name. This is a curious double standard, brought about by contemporary attitudes to women. Women's clothes are seen like women, second class, stupid, only fit to be worn by a women. For a man to wear something made for a woman is the ultimate slight upon his masculinity, whereras a woman is often seen to be toughened by the wearing of a man's attire.

Consider high heels - indispensable for a lot of women, (and also the transvestite) but also dangerous, absurd, crippling. Why should a man choose to lumber himself with this emblematic burden? Or corsets, mini skirts, tight trousers, stockings - all restrictive, all chosen more often than not, by the trannie. It is as if the transvestite is mocking women, dressing as the ultimate parody of womanhood.
