Christianity and crossdressing

This is one of many posts.

In this post I want to discuss Christianity and crossdressing.  This is a hard topic for some people, especially those who think crossdressers are all gay, or deranged, or something else.  I’m not going to discuss homosexuality because  that is not what my blog is about (at least I won’t discuss it right now).  So let’s jump right in.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. 
This verse is in the mosaic law.  This law was written by Moses to bring Israel together and keep them pure in relation to people outside Israel.  Before that verse it says if you see your brother’s donkey and he is not with it, you should take it home and keep it safe.  After that verse about garments, Deuteronomy says if a man marries a woman that is not a virgin, he can go back to the father of the bride and have him stoned. 

So the non-biblical part…women wear “men’s” clothes every day and nothing is said about that.  However, when men wear “women’s “ clothing, they are shunned.  Why?  Helen Boyd really said it best in My Husband Betty so I will not rehash it here.  Basically..what’s the big deal.
Even in Iran, men are crossdressing:

So….don’t quote Deuteronomy when bashing crossdressing.  It doesn’t work.   And if you are a married man, look at your wife’s clothing before making comments to crossdressers. And if you are a woman, give the gurl some pointers and go shopping with her.  She will love you for it.
