Transvestites
275 Answers
Never thought that I would say this but.....
Transvestites creep me out!
Had many gay and lesbian friends over the years, never a problem.
Known a few transsexuals over the years, never a problem.
But someone that I work with every week ...ostensibly male...suddenly turning up to a works AGM in a dress, makeup, high heels, handbag and stockings is a bit of a shock to the system.
And then having to share a table while we are eating as though nothing is amiss ????
Found it a bit odd
Left early but wondered what toilets were used?
A lot of people there wouldnt have known him/her.
and the ensuing confusion.
It was pretty obvious that *she* was a man.
(a five oclock shadow didnt help)
Live and let live and each to their own,
but this creeped me out...

Mozz - // Andy - //That absolutely did not come across in your OP nailit.//
In my eyes //Live and let live and each to their own// from the OP completely implied Nailit had no personal beef with them. //
My observation was in response to the new information from nailit - that he is 'trying to undersstand tranvestites' which, as i said, was not mentioned in his OP, or suggested in any way.
Not 'having a beef ' with someone is not the same as trying to understand them.
I have no beef with trainspotters, but I am not trying to understand them either.

I don't think Nailit was making a judgement about "Gary/Mary" when he said they creep him out, that's a feeling not a judgement, I hate clowns - they freak me out and creep me out. I don't understand the insd and outs of what's under this rainbow flag that is LGBT and all the rest, but my friend of a lifetime has a few children (adults now ) and a few months ago she posted a 'Happy Birthday' Message to her wonderful daughter and how Mammy and Daddy were so proud of her (on facebook ) and there were loads of likes and responses and I thought, I know your children, who is this daughter, was her younger son, everyone seemed ok with it all, I still cannot call her son 'Kellie' and that creeps me out so I feel similar to Nailit in that when I am introduced to a person of one sex and then they are another the next day, it freaks me

I am not sure that an opinion offered in the way it was in this OP can actually be separated from a judgement of that individual.
Nailit was not talking generically about clowns as an entity, or indeed about transvestites as an entity, he was pointing out his views on a specific teansvestite, a colleague, and it is that person's behaviour that has created his judgement.
// ... so I feel similar to Nailit in that when I am introduced to a person of one sex and then they are another the next day, it freaks me //
Transvestism is a change of appearence and presentation, it does not affect the sex of the person concerned.

I've known a couple - no problem with them as there was no problem with the 4 same-sex couples I have known and been friends with. T.b.h. it was lovely having male friends with whom I could really relax and the female couple I know - one was a pupil of mine and had a crush on me so it's nice that they keep in touch.
