We are studying Twelfth Night but I have entirely forgotten why Malvolio wearing bright yellow cross-gartered stockings relates to cross-dressing? I thought cross-dressing referred to women dressing as men or vice-versa. Please help.

How many guys cross dress and go out in public?

I’m interested in cross-dressing. Are there any shops in Los Angeles where I can find some panties designed for men?

I mean like, do girls buy the clothes if its a guy and vice versa, or do you just buy it yourselves? Also, how do you handle the awkwardness when you buy clothes for crossdressing in a store?

Is there info available about cross-dressing…. husbands, fathers? (thats sexual orientation definitely remains the female gender) Not full scale cross-dressing -but wearing female, grandmother type underwear beneath their work clothing. Honest help, no sarcasm pls!
I am just a loving sibling that wants to give her confused and shocked sister, informative and careful answers. It would be easy to simply blurt out nonsense on a subject I know nothing about. But I love her and for that matter, respect and love her husband as well. My opinion is highly valued by her and therefore my response, and reactions play a dangerous role in their lives. I am responsible for the answers I give.
And…My opinion of her husband has not changed. He does not know that she has confided in me. He would be mortified. Although we are truly good friends. What a pity.
