Because drag has very little to do with that website. Check the [About Me](http://www.geocities.com/iluvbraces/about_me.htm) section. I only mentioned it because I think that if you have to add a qualifier stating that you are not something then your actions tell a different story. And actions speak louder than words. ---

Right. OK. Here’s the deal: I probably worded it badly in my OP. By saying that I didn’t have a problem with cross-dressing, what I meant was, I’m 100% in favor of transgendered folk living how they choose to live: either cross-dressing in the case of transvestites, or having sex re-assignment surgery in the case of transsexuals. OK? ---

I think what people are saying is: They are not mad that this guy dresses as a woman. Big deal. They are angry because he pretends to be disabled. ---

People already treat disabled people like they are somehow scamming the system or not really that disabled all too often as it is. (Just read the old rants about fat disabled people by those who think they are just being lazy for a taste of this.) People pretending to be disabled will just increase skeptism and make life for ppl like my husband all the more difficult. ---

I’m transsexual and even I think this person is disturbing. It’s highly unlikely that she will **ever** get the clearance for reassignment surgery until she gets this attention-seeking behavior problem dealt with. I feel sorry for her. One interesting thing, though, is that by appearing disabled she dramatically reduces the chance of being read: most people don’t look past the disability. Maybe this is how this got started, although I kinda doubt it. Actually, what she’s doing is sorta related to drag: one of the reasons for doing drag is to get attention. Well, that’s what she’s doing with her hooks and braces: trying to get attention. Same idea, different method. BTW, it’s very obvious that she’s a fake. Her arms are way too long with the hooks and her calves show no sign of atrophy (I’ve known several people with leg braces and **all** of them show at least some sign of atrophy in their calves). Anyone with any actual experience with amputees or the wheelchair-bound will immediately spot this woman as a fake.
