Is it socially acceptable for individuals to wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender? What are some reasons for or against this practice?

Don’t do it in places where it’s illegal, like Russia.

4) Entertainers.

a) In serious entertainment, actors playing a role. From Mark Rylance as Cleopatra or Judi Dench as Olivia to Antony Perkins in Psycho. Japanese Kabuki and Nō players. Sopranos singing "breeches" roles in opera.

Are there girls here who like group sex?

Socially acceptable? It depends on which bit of society you live in.

Ignore people who will quote their religion at you (unless it’s your religion too).

b) In light entertainment: female impersonators/comedians; pantomime dames in British theatre.

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

Don’t do it unless you want to.

If you’re going to do it, do it 100% and do it well. You’ll enjoy it all the more and so will the people around you. It’s often good for a round of applause or a free drink.

Reasons against it? Basically,

Has anyone been spanked by their parents after becoming an adult?

c) Drag queens and Drag kings – an exaggerated satirical sub-section of the light entertainment field.

7) Transsexuals – for many of them the cross-dressing is merely an incidental stage in their transition of identity. Once achieved, the wearing of the clothes of the other sex becomes the norm, and can no longer be called crossdressing.

3) Fetish crossdressers - who use clothes as a substitute for, or an essential precursor to, sex. This is commonest among teenage boys, but usually disappears or develops into transvestism later. It is rarely seen in public, although the word "fetish" is often misapplied by those who should know better.

Do Republicans give permission to Democrats to vote for any candidate except for Kamala Harris?

6) Transvestites – what most people first think of. For transvestites, crossdressing is an end in itself; motives many and various. For most, these go back to childhood or before birth and are obsessive.

d) Stunt doubles.

There are many reasons. This can be broken down into the eight broad categories below, though most people only think of no.6:

What exactly is the boundary men should follow while looking at girls so they don't call them perverts?

1) Occasional crossdressers - Hallowe'en, practical jokers, fancy dress parties, students' rags... etc.

2) Fashion crossdressers - some metrosexuals and most women fall into this category. Women in trousers – seen as a sexual and social aberration in 1900 – had become the norm by 2000.

If it’s merely your sexual fetish — see 3) above — don’t do it in public. You’ll look ridiculous and possible offend decency laws.

Why do many modern Hollywood films rely heavily on CGI and visual effects instead of actual sets? What is your opinion on this trend?

8) Those forced into crossdressing. This category is included for completeness but barely seems to exist in real life today. It was however observed in the period 1850-1950 when boys were occasionally forced into girls' clothes as a punishment at school or in the home. It is a staple of fiction – to escape from danger (Some Like It Hot), to obtain a job (Tootsie, Mrs Doubtfire), or forced by a sadistic female relative (much transvestite erotic fiction).

5) Other professionals: the occasional spy/undercover policeman/criminal in disguise. Gay prostitutes.

In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania or Salt Lake City it won’t be accepted. In Rio or Douarnenez at Mardi Gras it’s practically compulsory. (Seriously, I counted the men in skirts in a bar in Douarnenez: one in six.)

Why do some films seem to date/age so badly?
