![]() 10 Things NOT to Say to a Cross DresserBy Stef Matthews In the last ten years of the twentieth century two things have become popular: top ten lists made popular by late night talk show hosts and being Politically Correct. Personally, I like top ten lists because they tend to be humorous but I dislike people being overly PC. I'm sorry, being follically challenged still means that you're bald! One of the only times that being PC does seem appropriate is when meeting a cross dresser for the first time. Whenever we meet new people we begin, in our minds, to size them up and make our value judgements (I didn't say this is right, it's just what seems to happen.) Sometimes we must speak before this process has reached the final stage of completion. Then we'll do a Homer Simpson (no relation to O.J.) and say what's on our mind at the moment. Sometimes leading to an articulated faux pas. Sorry, in non-PC terms it means we say something really stupid. So, given that premise, I've developed the following list to keep in mind in your dealings with cross dressers.
9. My Grandmother has a dress just like that! 8. You know that they say passing is 99% attitude. 7. That's very creative, I haven't seen paper-clip jewelry since grade school. 6. No, on you paisley and stripes do look nice! 5. Sure, Brooke Shields pulls it off nicely, but I believe that she has two eyebrows! 4. No, I would have never guessed that this is your first time out. 3. No wonder your wife doesn't approve of your cross dressing. 2. So, you must go to Goodwill like twice a week. 1. I see that Wal-Mart had a sale.
