A tranny that gets upset because a straight dresses up in drag for halloween is the tranny that is offended by EVERYTHING.  People offended by EVERYTHING should be ignored.

Are there trans* people who get offended by people cross-dressing? Seems like a ridiculous strawman to me.

Meh, I have...complicated feelings about it (voted other). Ime have heard opinions from positive to a little negative, on average mostly on the slightly positive to "whatever" side (anecdotal ofc). Never met anyone who was "omg terrible" about it like I think dead0man's post is suggesting.

Ma'am, I don't know any trannys and certainly don't know any of them offended by dudes dressing up in drag for Halloween, I just assumed it happens because of the wording of the OP.  If it doesn't then great.  If it does, then I stand by my first post.

In hindsight, I should have included women that would get upset by it too.

I know there are lots of radical feminists offended by it who attack it but these are also the same people who hate trans people. Actually it'd be easier to just compile a list of groups/things that type of feminist DOESN'T hate.

No because people shouldn't dress up as the opposite sex.
Other: I support the freedom do wear drag, but doing so is a little ridiculous in my opinion unless its for a Halloween costume or some rare purpose.

Why not? And who determines how the sexes dress? It's not an ironclad rule just because society says something - have you never heard of the kilt?

Agreed, which is why it rules. Drag away.

Other. I don't have a positive or negative opinion, I know people who do that kinda thing, but it's not for me at all. I just don't understand the attraction of dressing up as the opposite sex. I dunno. I don't get 'offended' by it though.
