   What a sadly narrow, kneejerk, almost bigoted view. Why not give something a   
   chance, and try to accept it on its own terms, instead of coming to it with   
   a predefined, ironclad prejudice that it's automatically 'ugly'? You don't   
   have to become a transvestite lover, or be sexually aroused. Can't you just   
   accept the possibility that there could be such a thing in the world as an   
   aesthetically good-looking crossdresser?   
      
   You know, it's entirely arbitrary as to which sorts of clothes have come to   
   be associated with women, and which with men. It's purely a social   
   convention; there is nothing whatsoever inherent in the nature of a dress or   
   skirt, or lipstick for that matter, that says it can only look good if the   
   person wearing it has a vagina. It's only a prejudicial block in your mind   
   due to cultural brainwashing.   
      
   This is the 21st century. Women can wear pants and suit jackets, and no one   
   calls them ugly. Why can't a man have the same freedom to wear a dress   
   without being dismissed as some kind of a freak?   
      
   Surely *some* of them are ugly. Possibly even *many* of them. Maybe even,   
   though I'm certainly not willing to go this far myself, *most* of them. But   
   *every single one*, without *any* exceptions? How can you possibly make such   
   a crude generalisation? It's like deciding, based on a few people you know   
   or have seen, that short-haired women or long-haired men are *always*   
   unattractive. It's just not true, and it's ignorant to say so.
