But hey, you don't care about knowing stuff, do you? Or not being an utter shit of a person, neither.
That's ridiculous. Transvestite means someone who dresses like the opposite sex. Vest. It's latin. It means to dress. This is basic stuff.
By the way what the fuck are you doing wearing a mask in your photo? Oh yeah, the plandemic. You people are nuts.
There are still transvestites around, but they don't seem as strange now. Probably it's because there are others pushing the envelope even farther.
The most famous transvestite I can think of is Grayson Perry, a British artist. He is heterosexual, uses he/him pronouns, is not trans. He just likes to dress up.
He said this:
Quote:“No one’s as sexist as a transvestite. We like gender roles. I always describe myself as gender rigid,” he laughed. “I signed up for a gender and I want them to be very clearly delineated so I know I’m dressing up in the wrong clothes.”
It's a mild transgression. It gets him attention and he has fun.
There have been two well-known transvestites here in Hiroshima. One came from a rich family and didn't have to work, and he got a kick out of wearing very short mini-dresses in public. Otherwise he was straight, though. Then the other one is an older man, very skinny, who wears the type of kimono that young women wear for Coming of Age day. They are very bright, verging on garish. He doesn't wear them right, however -- just drapes them on like a bathrobe. He also wears a long blond wig. I suspect that he may be what people used to call "a crazy man."
I'm sure there are more -- probably part-timers who spend time in the parts of town I no longer go to.
