Cross-Dressing????

[Nighthawk]

I have been, and here's what I look like:





I looked over myself and asked "What in the name of the Gods looks even remotely feminine about me?"

What?? I thought they meant cross-cultural dressing!!

Cross Cultural Dressing, I like that.

I was accused of cross dressing by my narrow-minded neighbor who is my brother's mother-in-law. She was wearing jeans and a man's Dickey's shirt!

I won't get into it but the result wasn't pretty...

If I were asked if I was cross-dresser I would say no If I was I would wear butt crack tight blue jeans like most women do.

They say it's cross-dressing because they're ignorant.

My own father hates the kilt, or just doesn't care, yet he's very Irish and proud of it. Hypocrite? I don't know. but some are hard to get the point across with.

Oh, thank goodness. I was worried that you might be Greek. Just joking, nothing matters to me anyway.

Maybe...

No way could kilt wearing be called crossdressing. Only once a young drunk came up to me in Galashiels and asked me if I was a transvestite, when I was wearing a traditional kilt (only a few yards away from the old Lochcarron factory!!) but I treated him with the contempt he deserved, pretended I hadn't heard and walked on. Some of the non-traditional kilts are, from my own perception as a native Scot, more like cargo skirts than my long held idea of what constitutes a kilt, but even so they are obviously men's garments, with their thick, rough, material and big cargo pockets which certainly would not flatter a female figure. I wear non-trad kilts quite often and have never been accused of cross dressing while wearing them. There is a company in England which makes unpleated denim cargo skirts for men with zip fly fronts and even when wearing one of these the very few comments I have had have all been positive and all have referred to it as a kilt. Anyway my wife wears trousers every day and I wouldn't want to dress in the same clothes as my better half.

I guess I'm fortunate the only people who have ever called it a skirt, or made jokes about cross dressing are my co-workers who are just giving me some good natured ribbing. I don't come across as one to be made fun of, so I have not had to deal with any public ridicule. I normally get questions from those who are truly curious, and appreciative of other cultures.

I don't recall ever being accused of cross dressing. Some people have, out of ignorance, not malice, referred to it as a kilt. I try not to get too bent out of shape by it, but what can you expect from drunk college students?

I have, however, been on the receiving end of jokes about my girlfriend wearing the pants in the relationship, but it was meant in good humour.

However, since I'm a large, flaming redhead with a similarly flaming red beard, it's difficult for anyone to presume me to be of a non-masculine bent.

I've heard the crossdressing remark before. My usual response is, 'no, I've never done that; I'm not British.'

(I actually work with a very masculine straight man from Liverpool, who does like to 'dress up.' We have great conversations!)
