Could you be friends with a cross dresser?

Isn't it about the person rather than the clothes?

Sure I could! In fact I think I'd probably have a better chance of getting along with the average cross dresser than I would random John Q. Boring on the street. At least cross dressers are free thinkers who stand up for what they believe--and usually learn not to judge other people!

It IS all about the person. I have friends who are cute and ugly, thin and fat, male and female, tall and short, uptight preppies and punked-out goths. All that matters is that they're good people with good hearts who are honest to themselve and others.

Besides, cross dressers probably have a lot more fun than the stiffs who don't know who they really are. Heck yeah, cross dressers would make great friends!

Of course I could. If I get on with someone then it doesn't matter if they've two heads so long as I like hanging out with them.

What clothes they wear wouldn't have anything to do with our friendship. It would be their personality and how much we had in common that would matter to me.

Someone asked a "could you befriend someone with lots of piercings?" question a little while ago and my answer there was similar to the answer I'm going to give here.

Technically, I could be their friend, but I'm sure it wouldn't work. For it to work, all the people I interact with would have to accept the cross dresser, and that's just not going to happen. Also, I've never met a person with piercings OR who cross dresses who shares the views that are important to me - ever. I'm not sure it's possible.

Sure, you can be friends with anyone regardless of how they look, and dress.
You do not always have to like what they are wearing.. But, at first until you are used to it you may respond slightly different.. But its like all forms and styles of dressing we may not think a style looks good on a person. But if that is what they enjoy and are comfortable with, and it is not to innappropriate for their current situation.. (to short of skirts of to tight of mens shirts) .. Then I do not see why it's an issue at all. - DNatureofDTrain

I have some excellent great friends cross dressers. I go out with them as male and female.... I never comment and prefer to enjoy their friendships as great friends not the clothes they are wearing.

They are some my my closest friends and always will be. And yes they borrow my clothes!

I could be. If I happened to get to know one cross dresser in some way. If there is some common interests we like to share, then a friendship is possible.

Oh! I LOVE gno’s answer! Spot on, mate. Truly, the bravery exhibited by these people is second to none when it comes to societal faux pas. To be that in touch with yourself, and care that little what others think about you must be a wonderful ride.

I am very careful to use the word ‘freak’ or similar insults when it comes to different people. After all, without them, what a boring life we would have! I swear, if everyone in the world wore suits and had a desk job, this life might not even be worth sticking around for.

So yes, I could absolutely be friends with a crossdresser. In fact, I know quite a few of them. There is an ‘alternative lifestyle’ club next to the coffee shop where my chess club meets each week. I have zero problems co-mingling.
