quote still not working.

Kingussie pleated both ways has to be one of the best lines lately, closely followed by was it the men who are hoping I'm straight.

As an actor I was frequently in that thinking, women especially not believing me to be straight. Some uncomfortable dry spells resulted. In 1970 I was in a play about loneliness and the human need for companionship in which all the characters were gay, and my role required me to kiss two of them. Not a problem. I KNOW I like women, it 's irrelevant to anyone else. There was in the cast a man who said he was the only other straight person in the cast, but he felt the need to hit on every woman who came near. He'd been a boxer, a pro athlete, a submariner, an ironworker, etc., etc.. It seemed he might be attempting to prove something to everyone else so he could convince himself. Or that's how it felt to us. This seems to be the root of the problem for many.

Also, cross-dressers tend to be straight. And the ones who aren't often
don't think of it as crossdressing, they think of themselves as women.
At least among my friends.
