So I take it a good-sized portion of British Comedy is all just the actors acting out a sexual fetish?
And for the record, cross-dressing involves a person dressing in ways opposite the way expected of their gender. Being trans doesn't count as cross-dressing because, frankly, it's just expressing the way one sees one's own gender. It's easier for a man to cross-dress because skirts aren't generally considered masculine attire (with the possible exception of Scotland), but female fashion has a broad enough range of what's generally considered acceptable that I suspect that you'd have to go out of your way to disguise yourself as a man for that to count.

Properly speaking, men dressing up in women's clothing without the sexual component is termed drag, not cross-dressing.

It's only a few black people, and there were always a few house negroes like Candace Owens.

You need a third category, that of gender-conforming clothing.

LGBTQ Nation She's at it again
I love her back peddling after the Salvador Ramos incident. Her stupid excuse she didn't share the photos while she spread the rumor somehow absolves her.
And her even weaker excuse that photos of Ramos cross-dressing even exist which she has yet to provide. Pathetic.... Going on from this point other excuses candy has used is insisting Ramos was Trans or a Crossdresser because in the picture most media used showed him "sashaying" and "pursing his lips"
Having one of your legs stretched out and having your hip shifted to the right is not a sashay or even remotely feminine and men purse their lips as an emotional response so that's also not feminine either. This is literally her evidence he was Trans or a Crossdresser.....
Aside from that, she pointed to one fucking line in a Daily Mail Article that called him "Alternative" a term that has nothing to do with Gender identity and merely means you are a social non-conformist and this is somehow evidence he was Trans or a Crossdresser....
Candace Owns is a freaking idiot...

At present I make my living as a embedded software test engineer. On occasion (a few times a week) I wear a tee, midcalf full skirt and sandals to my office. A skirt versus pants provides a little variety in life for me, plus, I find them to be somewhat more comfortable than pants, as I often sit in my chair in front of four computer monitors for several hours straight over the course of a 9 to 10 hour day. Most importantly I enjoy and embrace the sense of femininity that I sometimes experience while wearing one. But, after a day or two, it's good to go back to pants until I get tired of those, and so, the cycle repeats.
For me being confrontational while in a skirt is just awkward. I'm not confrontational to begin with, but even less so on "skirt days". And, so, let's say that Candace Owns is right, and maybe Ramos should have started actively "crossdressing".

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s push for “parents rights” excludes LGBTQ students’ families
LGBTQ Nation
Quote:Although Virginia’s Gov. Glenn Youngkin ® has used “parents rights” as a rallying cry against local school boards and “progressive liberals,” he has shown he doesn’t care about the rights of parents with transgender and marginalized children.
On Tuesday, Youngkin came to the Mason District Park in Annandale with Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, Attorney General Jason Miyares, and the Republican candidates that Youngkin supports for congressional districts 8, 11, and 10. This high-powered cast only pulled in about 100 rally attendees, many of whom appeared to not have children in state schools.
At the rally, Youngkin spun a story about how “progressive liberals” are taking away parents’ rights in schools. But he wasn’t really speaking to locals; he was speaking to his nationwide audience during this temporary return to Virginia from his multi-state self-campaign tour.
