Mens High Heels

Do women think that crossdressers should be tolerated/accepted in society?

As a crossdresser, I dont go out in public simply because its not accepted widely by society. I can't wear a cute skirt, heels etc because the tolerance isnt there. Do women think that crossdressers should be more tolerated or is man who wear panties, heels etc simply wrong? I am welcoming any ones opinion and dont worry about saying something offensive, speak your mind

1. Call me intolerant if you like, but you asked for my answer. And my answer is: it's just wrong.
2. I think that crossdressing is an abomination and is a sign of great disrespect to one's family. I believe that this is a terrible phenomenon.
3. You don't care about male opinions ? :( Edit : oh, thank you :) Either way, I believe that cross dressers are a lot more accepted now than in the past. They still probably make a lot uncomfortable , but a lot more people now are tolerant of them. Personally ( although this doesn't matter ) I have no problem with them.
4. I'm sorry, I'm trying to be tolerant but playing dress-up just isn't professional. There is a time and a place for everything but in your post as Secretary General of the United Nations or loans officer at a bank just isn't it.
5. You should move to San Francisco babes! i regularly hit the town with a posse of hets straights cross-dressers, trans and no-one bats an eyelash! EDIT to all those mentioning bathrooms this is not a trans issue and men need to be OK with a male cross-dresser using a bathroom because gender isn't the issue here BEC says: "People should understand, though, that not everyone will accept or like it, and shouldn't expect that" If she supports the disapproval of others then she is supporting prejudice and her arguments do this over and over and over again. What she fails to understand is that society no longer cares what radical christians think because they are damaging to the general populace (which is made up of many minorities).
6. I have absolutely no problem with cross-dressing. How is it hurting anyone? If your religion teaches that it's a sin, then don't do it. But don't judge, or condemn someone else who does do it. That would be a much greater sin. I don't personally know anyone who cross-dresses. I have, from time to time, seen someone who was a cross-dresser. I honestly have to admit that the first time I saw a man dressed as a woman, I thought it looked a little odd. But I didn't feel anything like contempt for him...just mild curiosity. There are so many REAL problems in the world...why don't we focus on solving those and stop trying to tell other people how to live their lives!
7. I don't think they should be forced off the streets into hiding, if that's what you're asking. I think you're brave to ask this, too, knowing that there'll be people who will be ugly about it. People should have the right to wear what they want in public, within the limits of decency of course (keep them hoo-has hidden!!), without being harassed or harmed. People should understand, though, that not everyone will accept or like it, and shouldn't expect that. I know that, when I step out the door in my conservative long skirts all the time, some people are going to think poorly of me. Some are going to think I'm a brainwashed religious nut who's probably also being beaten by my husband or something. Some probably think I'm a hippy wannabe in summertime, with my peasant skirts and beads and sandals. Whatever; I'm not dressing for them anyways. Neither are you! Can't always control what other people think about our appearance, annoying as that is. : s Those who don't like what they see are free to not like what they see; I don't think it makes someone bad or bigoted if they see someone doing something they think is weird or wrong. But they don't have the right to treat others like crap because of it. *That* makes them a bad person, and a bigot. I think it sucks that people are rude enough that they feel like they get to criticize someone to their face, or talk smack about them behind their back, because of their looks. Didn't their mamas raise 'em right?? My only thing is that it would make me a little uncomfortable sharing a bathroom or a change room with a person who was obviously male. If he's passable and we can't tell, that's one thing, but when it's obvious...I wouldn't be comfortable. I like my privacy. Even then, though, I'd just find a stall. There's no point making a big stink.
8. i can get along with anybody, and respect them as people. the problem with crossdressing in public is: where do you go to the bathroom? i would be uncomfortable standing next to you, and most women would be uncomfortable with you in the next stall.
9. A cross dresser has no impact on my life one way or another, it's simply a person that likes to dress up, it's a personal choice that doesn't physically harm anyone else around you, so it should be fine. That's like saying, does someone who likes to wear shoes that don't match their shirt offend me.... it's the same way with cross dressing, it's just CLOTHES and nothing more. If I was at a public restroom and a guy walks in dressed like a woman and looking like a woman..... I wouldn't think anything of it, in fact I'd have something else on my mind most likely, like did I get everything from this store that I needed ? It's called live and let live, if only more people would think that way....
10. My motto in life is simple. If you are not harming anyone, do as you please. What has it got to do with anyone else? Nothing! No one elses business but your own. If you like it, I love it! If everyone were like this, this world would be a much better and happier place IMO.
11. seriously, why would society and the general public have a say on what YOU wear or not? not only it's none of their bussiness but if all someone has to do in life is to judge a cross dresser he or she persoanlly doesn't even know is pretty low in my opion. i mean, don't they have enough personal problems? they really gotta butt in in other people's fashion? tolerance isn't there? where do you live? i heard some pretty awful things worldwide, some places just don't wanna learn anything and want to hate people as much as they can, true. but, there are better places. places where anyone who would look down on you for crossdressing would get pretty rattled.
12. cross dressing is not hurting anyone so why not do it ? some men i know who cross dress look better then females all dolled up
13. Its a sign of a mental disorder and they need help.
14. Cross dressers in public is no big deal to most people, but there are homophobes who will attack them.
15. Well, personally I do think that. BUT, it will never happen, because there are so many people who just cant accept something that is out of the ordinary, and so it will always attract ridicule and scorn.
