Crossdressing...Just how does a woman participate?
 
I was reading an interesting article about Gender Bender days in our Public Schools.

They were focused on the Male participators who wore dresses and skirts.

My question is: What do the Female participators wear at one of these events?

If a dress or skirt is considered the opposite of a mans attire, what is the opposite of women's attire?

I have never seen a female cross dresser.

Actually, a guys suit seems to be the answer to the question.

Interesting question. I guess strap on a beard, overalls and a flannel shirt?

The more I think about this... I do believe it's a good question. Also, makes a great argument for the Apostolic beard on men!

Your gonna get in trouble around here, for saying that overalls are a mans garment. lol

I have. No doubt. Most lesbian couples have one that acts and dresses way more manly than the other.

Actually it doesn't, a beard is not part of a mans dress.

Mimi Blais, Queen of ragtime, has done shows in our town for about 20 years. She definitely did some of what I would consider cross-dressing.

Men's clothes.

You know, from the men's department at the store?

Not that difficult a question.

How did the men cross-dress back in the Old Testament days? You know, back when they wore robes like the women?

Good question, how different were men and women's clothes back then?

Deut 22: 5 technically was speaking about women wearing men's ARMOUR and military gear, since this is how pagans worshiped Dianna, while men dressed up like women. That is how Deut 22 is involved in the cross-dressing issue. MAN in the verse, describing the clothing of a man, is WARRIOR in Hebrew. Not simply male. So, the similarity in robes was not the differentiating factor. It was the issue of male WARRIORS and women, hence ARMOUR versus feminine attire. Armour was quite different from a robe.

Wow, didn't they have women warriors or those that fought in battle?

Deborah was a rarity. But the point is the MAN in the context in Hebrew is a MALE WARRIOR.

Men's Jeans. Flannel shirt. Tube Socks. Construction worker boots. Short cropped hair cut in a men's style

You have got to be kidding. The department store is telling you what is a mens and womens garment?

I'm starting to see the problem.

The department heads are deciding what is mens and what is womens.

You will trust them but not a preacher. Wow.

Prax. I don't think you could convince half of AFF that these are Mens garments.

Lol.

Shopping must be a nightmare for you. ;) Do you show up for work in women's pants frequently because you couldn't tell the difference between men's and women's? Because of course there is none. All pants are men's, correct? :)

Do you have an issue with Women wearing pants that were purchased in the mens department?

Do you need someone to tell you which is the womans restroom and which is the mens or do you just walk into the nearest door...Or did ya need someone to put a sign over each door to let you know which is which?

I'm starting to see the problem now

Department stores have "men" and "women" sections where you can know, if you go buy some clothing, which sex the were made for.

Is it ok for women to wear socks since men where them? Can they were any kind of underwear or those made for females? Can they wear shirts bought in the mens department or is it ok to wear a shirt as long as it was bought in the womens department?

The ones that come from the MEN'S SIDE of the store are. When I was conservative Pentecostal I'd sometimes wear a flannel shirt with a jean skirt. But my flannel shirt would come from the WOMEN'S SIDE of the store.

But since, according to you, stores don't know the difference, maybe that flannel top was a man's. ;)

I wouldn't do it.

Sorry, they are still pants, even if they have a flower on them.

I have other reasons for not wearing pants with flowers on them. The fact that they are a breached garment is not one of them.

Deu 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

What about choir robes, are those men's or woman's?
