I agree wholeheartedly. My point is "whats on the inside" in your case is obviously a woman, whether you know it or are willing to admit it or not. Your "inner me" is not masculine or you wouldnt be cross dressing, I think that much is obvious.

CrazyJew, wearing non-prescription glasses is one of those things that most guys would be embarrassed to do. Even if someone thinks they could pull off glasses like James Dean or Buddy Holly, something about wearing unnecessary glasses just seems too narcissistic. It's the same kind of thing as wearing sunglasses when it isn't bright, although not as obvious to the people around you (since no one knows whether you have good eyesight or not)

I don't mean to insult anyone here that may do it... but I wouldn't do it myself. I feel like the privilege of the option of wearing good looking glasses is a sort of consolation prize for people not blessed with naturally good eyesight.

Do you really not see the contradictions in your statements? You wagged your finger at people for doing something and then did it yourself.
Theres a distinct and fundamental difference here which is in plain sight. Assuming someone is effeminate because theyre on a style forum is a ridiculous, idiotic assertion grounded in a skewed and unrealistic, unculutured, homophobic world view. Seeing a man who is clearly dressed as a woman, and who purposely makes themselves appear as feminine as possible, it is only natural to assume that on some level that person wants to be something they clearly arent; namely female. It is inherent to Lane's and to a lesser extent, to Uncontrols style of dress that they admire womens clothing to the point of wearing it (or wearing "mens" clothing styled after womens clothing, in order to cater to other cross dressers who may not be able to fit into the womens clothing which they so obviously desire). If i dressed as a ******* airline pilot every day, yet i was not an airline pilot, would it be a rational conclusion that I desire to look like an airline pilot? The answer is unquestionably in the affirmative. Now if a man desires to look like a female (as we have established that one who dresses up as something on a continuous basis desires to look like that which they have dressed up as) isnt that synonymous with saying he wants to be a female? For what reason would one want to look like a woman, but not be one? Barring the obvious reason that they are simply too ashamed to admit that they desperately want to be female on some unconscious (or conscious) level, there are no consistent rational reasons one could infer besides maybe saying "**** you" to societies gender roles i.e. Marilyn Manson. I think its clear that Lane is definetly not doing that, and i highly doubt Uncontrol is either.

Have i been close friends with a transexual? No, not because i have any problem with them, i think my whole point here is that I sympathize deeply for them. Its just not every day you meet a ****** that you have enough in common with to become pals with. Makeshift robot, have you ever known any actual albino jews?
