crossdressing

    My gf has told me that a mate of mine is a cross dresser and has been for several years.
    I am 32 and he is around the same age. He too has a gf and we often socialise together.
    However, my gf says she has seen him outdoors dressed as a girl.
    So, what should I do? Should I say something to him or say nothing at all?
    I don't want him exposed by some people just out to have a bit of fun.
    He is a very nice, respectable guy. His gf knows he xdresses and doesn't appear to have a problem with it.
    Should I leave well enough alone?

    What would it achieve? :confused:

    Why do you want to talk to him about it?

    I can't see any reason to bring it up really. If his gf knows and doesn't have a problem with it then surely he's been honest and open with her and so he's not hurting anybody.

    Do nothing, say nothing. He's not hurting anyone.

    I have never understood why we have a term "cross-dressing" about men wearing women's clothes, but when women started wearing men's clothes it was called gender equality or some similar term. What's the fascination with the style of clothes a person wears? Why does anybody care? (I mean as long as the clothes are not indecent... whatever that means!?)

    So OP, do nothing, unless you want to talk fashion advice to him!

    Be at peace,

    Its just one of those things Zen.
    Its like a woman who sleeps around alot is called a sl*t. While a man who does the same doesnt have a term. If anything he is called "sewing his wild oats" - its just one of those contradictions in life :)


    Op,
    You really shouldnt be bothered by this :)
    the reason being it doesnt effect you or your girlfriend (which lets be honest is the most important thing)
    for example if that guy and hs gf were swingers - yeah one could see a worry (people have a habit of wanting others to share their lifestyle) but with cross-dressing i really doubt it will effect you in any negitive way. Which as I say again, is what matters.

    Depends on what you want to say to him. If you're genuinely interested in the subject and/or want to let him know that others are aware of his life choice then by all means go ahead. A former lodger of mine was a cross dresser and really enjoyed being able to both talk about it and dress openly as a woman at home. He used to take the dog for a walk at 2am!!

    If he's been outside dressed as a girl than he is already exposed and ready for whatever comes at him!!!

    Leave it! ;)

    If he's your friend and you want to discuss it with him by all means go ahead.

    just make sure you're talking about it for the right reasons, rather than just to slag him off, tell him he's wrong to do it, or to get one up on him.

    Unless you're uncomfortable with him crossdressing I fail to see any reason at all for you to talk to him about this, (I guess maybe if you wanted some tips?). If he crossdresses or whatever it's his own business, if it doesn't effect you beyond your gf feeling the need to mention it (even though it doesn't really concern her either), then why would you feel the ned to discuss it with him?

    I'm sure he has plenty of other interests you know nothing about.

    Really it is none of your business and if he wanted your opinion he would bring it up.
