I have made mention several times in the recent past about crossdressing in popular media.

There is some dispute as to whether or not the portrayal of us, such as it is, is helpful or rather insulting, but what seems now undeniable is that we have been part of popular culture for hundreds of years.

I never noticed any reference to crossdressers in my childhood, but with a different set of eyes, watching reruns of everything from Bewitched to Get Smart, there we are!

And, of course, before that, there were references in Shakespeare, Greek mythology, Mark Twain, etc. 

The music business is rife with crossdressers, from rockstars (Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler above) to opera singers.  And, stories abound about females dressing as males over the years to gain access to work reserved for males.

I will have more to say on this subject in the future, and I especially want to focus on whether there has been any progression, any hint that society is starting to embrace us as real people.

In the meantime, I have discovered a terrific post on the history of crossdressing in popular culture.  If this topic interests you, I recommend you click on over there and have a look: http://flavorwire.com/153705/a-short-history-of-cross-dressing-in-media
