15. Clothing rules have long gone out of the window . Those of us who prefer life with clothing rules are now old fashioned - it’s life, & we need to get over it. @threadreaderapp unroll.

14. … & I can think of no trans woman (& I know thousands) who would wear a negligee etc. TP want to be accepted as men/women we are & TW will wear jeans & T shirt like you & your friends at the event (though they know that to some women they will not be fully included)….

13. … for some aspect of sexual fetish - but that will be a minuscule number. The rest would be far too frightened. But they are at an event where play acting is clearly allowed . And they are not trans women for whom there is no ‘play acting’ involved. Trans women are being ….

12. … using the ladies loos is a problem but for that guy, using the gents may well bring fear of violence - many of them will have had childhood experiences of bullying & violence for being ‘a sissy’. But they are just using a lockable cubicle to pee. A few may use them ….

11. … especially at public events eg music festivals, but I accept I am old, & my expectations are no longer those of younger people - & that my views largely stem from a Methodist upbringing. As to the use of facilities - I also see that for women a bloke in a negligee . .

10. … a heavily negatively judged feature of anyone’s life. As a trans man I have never seen clothing as sexual (except on a partner) so I too find public crossdressing confusing - I ask where the line lies. OTHand I also find the lines confusing as to what a lot of folk wear….

9. … they are unrelated. Except … 1 in 10 apparent male crossdressers who see it as a joyful, or relaxing or sexual activity (or all 3) at some time will say “actually I have got the courage to finally admit I am trans”. And there lies the confusion . Being trans is still….

8. … of my own life & others for well over 30 yrs. I have also questioned myself extensively - I too lived with shame for many years. Being a trans woman /man is nothing like being a crossdresser or person who gets sexual pleasure from cross dressing. In many ways they are ….

7. … misunderstanding as to what is taking place. It is also extremely insulting to those people who are transitioning /have transitioned. Trans women (like trans men) who are transitioning /have transitioned are being who they are - I have thought & studied this aspect ….

6. I expect for the 4-10% of men who in the past kept their crossdressing secret out of a misplaced sense of shame - a shame that cost some their lives - an event where cross dressing is accepted is a great joy. But the use of larping/womanface is due to a significant ….

5. … guys wearing little more than a vest & skin tight bulging shorts, & a guy in a negligee - except social expectations based upon Victorian religious values. Western Societies are mostly secular so those expectations have become outdated ….

4. … but in this Catholic country, in a busy tourist city this is accepted, & seen even in the monumental renaissance Catholic Churches we visit. The change in social mores to a very liberal view of acceptable wear, crosses all the lines. I can see little difference between….

3. … to publicly present in their preferred/sexual choice of clothing & who is a trans woman. First, societies across the world have changed their views on acceptable clothing. I am on holiday & here I see young people wearing what is little more than underwear, ….

2. … or what was referred to as transsexual in 1975. There is a general confusion today around where the line lies between crossdresser & a person who is trans (& who will transition) . I understand that confusion then calls into question which people ‘have the right’….

1. I am a 70yr old trans(sexual) man. I transitioned 50yrs ago. 1975 I read academic literature (eg DJ West) which claimed 4% to 10% of boys/men enjoy crossdressing for sexual pleasure . The same literature claimed approx 1% of people born male bodied will be transgender ….
