okay, so here’s what i do know about transvestites for a fact:
1. eddie izzard is a transvestite and he’s uber funny and incredibly hot, whether he’s wearing a dress or not.
2. some men in frocks manage to look a damn site better than some chicks in frocks.
3. just because you’re a boy and you like to wear chick’s clothes, doesn’t necesarily make you gay.
curious about the subject and realising that you could fit what i know on the back of a very small small thing, i decided to do some research.
it took me several hours, but i’ve finally found clarity on the difference between a transvestite, a cross dresser and transgender.
now since i am none of the above, i might be wrong, but this is what wikipedia says, more or less about each:
transvestite: a person who wears the clothing of the opposite sex.
cross dresser: a person who wears the clothes and accessories commonly associated with the oposite gender.
transgender: a general term applied to a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups involving tendencies to deviate from the normative gender roles.
okay, so clear as mud then, right?
please don’t be offended by this post if you yourself are any of the above, or if you yourself might be feeling like you’d like to take offense to any of the above – as you can see from what i’ve said so far, i know fuckall on the subject, and am simply writing about it because i find it fascinating, and we all might actually learn something (not from this post, heavens no, but perhaps someone in the know will post some interesting and informative comments in the comments section and we can all learn from that).
Now the fun part, let’s see how good your eye is:

Does I dont know count, P?
I most certainly will not want to undress in the dark with any of these! Just imagine if you were gay or straight and arose (yes, arose) to the wrong partner?
There goes my very limited mojo!
this is not fair, some of those aren’t even humanoid…cher, for example…the woman is 95% plastic surgery…
I’ll bet they’re all guys, just because you’re being tricksy.
I had a similar curiosity, and have met several ladies. From “normal” to bizarre.
The only thing they all have in common is fear. In SA, it’s not allowed, by anyone really.
We still have a long way to go.
peace
Nope Freud, sorry, i’m afraid ‘i don’t know’ is not a prize winning response in this case. although possibly quite a smart one. 🙂 – looking forward to your next blog post.
fashionista – that is not actually cher believe it or not. it’s a pretty good impression of her though.
is it really not allowed here abraxas? maybe just not accepted in all circles. (make the circle bigger) i think it’s pretty amazing. (hint: they’re not all guys, there’s a pretty even mix.)
hey freud, i see your new post is up. excellent, am heading over to check it out now.
million milesers (huh?) go check out freud’s new blog if you get a chance, i think it’s going to be a goodie:

numbers1.5,6.9.10.12.13 are male rest females
Hmmm, let’s see:
1. I’d definitely do him
2, 3 and 4. I’d do these guys. Although doing 3 would be like doing me in a wig. But since I do me all the time, I’m ok with it.
5. This guy is not my type. I like my men with a little more meat on their bones.
6. I would marry this guy and bear his children.
7 and 8. If they kept their hats on I would do them and then after we could all clean up in the men’s room.
9. This guy is hot. Doobie, doobie, do.
10 I would not do this guy but I might do his son.
11. I would marry this guy and bear his children.
12 and 13. These are some scary dudes but I would probably do 13 after a couple of beers
If I win, I’ll take 6 and 11 with or without penises. Thanks!
