Today I was standing in line at Kohls, and a man wearing a female watch, blue shorts, pink shirt was returning two large dresses that looked like would fit him. First thing came to my mind was maybe he is returning these for his wife then I realized when he said thanks to the cashier he had a high pitched voice. It made me really sad and no one knows this but God. I said a little prayer for him when I got in my car and it really sadened me. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. This is not the first time I've encountered this. Especially at a Marshalls or Kohls. A lot of transvestites and men that wear dresses that try them on in dressing room. As a female it makes me sick to my stomach. What about you?

In response to everyone who reads this:
I am not bestowing judgement. I am only deeply concerned with you all and my heart only goes out to you. I have a true heart for you kind of people and wish there was something I could do to figure out how you got where you are and the root of it and get you help. That is all. Just know that I'm thinking about you. My brother is confused with his sexuality. He said it was wrong but was being hunted by this gay man and caught my vulnerable brother. He feels trapped. You can't honestly tell me your truly happy on the inside. Call of Jesus.

Stevie-Yes the world is changing but God was the same yesterday, today, and tommorrow.
If you didn't know it or realize it the world is also getting more evil.
My final statements are these. My prayer is that you find peace in knowing who you really are. I know that you are not bound to this Earth in your body, but you are a spirit and I pray that you realize that you are being tormented with the spirit of confusion. May God grant you peace and a steadfast, firm spirit of truth. The truth is that you are being lied to by the devil.

I am totally with you (you have a right to feel how you feel and it does NOT make you a bad person no matter what anybody here tells you)... I am wholly sickened (just a natural instinct, sorry) and saddened (for them) by this at the same time. That life must be tough.. the confusion, not knowing who you are.. or at least not wanting to confront it. Poor things (I mean this in the most un-condescending way).
*I'm sure I'll get plenty of thumbs down for this, but HONESTLY it's just how I feel.*

I honestly can't understand your sadness. What were you sad for? We you sad that the dresses did not work for him so he had to return them? Were you sad because he looked better in the outfit he was in than you?
Seriously, I am a crossdresser. You know what that means... it means simply that I am wearing clothes that were designed BY HUMANS for a female to wear. God didn't want us wearing anything. It was only since humans took it upon themselves to cover themselves that clothing became important. It is society that has determined what is right and wrond for a male or female to wear. Not God.
Look at the roman and greek culture... are not Toga's a form of dress? Or the robes that are worn in some asian, and middle eastern cultures, are they not a form of dress? The french word for dress = robe.
I mean even the priests and fathers and the pope all wear a form of dress for their sermons and gatherings.
No, you should not be saddened that this man you saw, or any others like him including me, are wearing feminine clothes. You should rejoice at the fact that there is a man who is happy and confident enough in his own individuality to be his own person. Be happy that there are places out there that will allow him to be the person he wants to be and if he wants to try a dress on.. let him. he needs to be sure it fits! Or would you rather him not try it on and have him end up wearing something 3 sizes to big.
I'm reminded when I took a dress to a walmart dressing room. I was told that I could not go in and try it on. I asked why and the lady said because it was a dress and I was a man. I walked away, got the manager and brought him back to the dressing room. I simply asked then if I could try this dress on. She said to go right ahead and turned to the lady and stated "It doesn't matter if he's a man trying ladies clothes on or a lady trying men's clothes on. As long as they follow our guidlines for trying things on as it pertains to underwear and swimwear, they can do it. Because I don't want us to lose a sale because they couldn't try it on.
I think that you could pray for the guy to ensure that he is happy and safe and he continues to be the man he wants to be. i think that you should also pray for yourself so that you gain a broader understanding and a more open mind of other peoples' lifestyle and their choices.
Remember it's not God that dictated what we should wear, it is society as a whole. And society needs to grow up.

so .... should a guy get sick to his stomach when i wear a pair of jeans?
clothes are clothes... big deal. if thats what he is comfortable wearing... then who are you to say anything about it?
and excuse me if I am wrong... but doesnt the Church preach tolerance of ALL people...not just the version of what you see as 'normal' ?.... wake up honey... the world is changing.
..... and so when was wearing what makes you comfortable added to the Bible as a sin? and when was judging others taken out? Weren't you ever taught to dislike the sin.. not the sinner?
whats the saying... oh yes.... let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
and MY final thought is this....
Let people be who they are comfortable being. No matter if you agree with their 'lifestyle' or not, people are people, and everyone should be treated as equals. In a world full of hate, there should be more people spreading love with open and unbiased arms. No matter if you are black, white, red, purple, green, married, divorced, widowed, single, straight, bi, gay, lesbian, transgendered, a drag queen, a beauty queen, in a wheel chair, a marathon runner, too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short.......... you are still a person, and deserve to be treated as such....without judgement, without question, without bias..... because when it comes down to it..... its those who are different, that make life worth living.
and trust me... i know about the world and how it is getting worse...... i spent 12 months in Iraq.... I know exactly how bad the world can get..... once you have had your best friend die in front of you because of the uniform he wore... then you can talk to me about the evils of the world.... or once you have sat in a doctors office at 21 years old being told by your doctor that theres a chance you may have lung cancer because of chemicals you were exposed to in a 3rd world country... or have to have back surgery because you were in so many explosions from bombs.... or you have walked down the streets of Iraq, putting children in body bags.......... Then, and only then... can you talk to me about the world being evil.

well its understandable that you may feel sick but i also think its a little wrong. Im a gay male. And let me tell you thijnk i dont think crossdressing is anything or have any opinions on it. But i will tell you this. The person is doing no harm. When you go home and watch the news there are other people killing people. Feel sick about them. This person is not harmin anyone. You need to be more open minded. Becasue think. If you have children and one of them (god forbid) just saying. ..became gay or lesbian..would you want others judging them?...no i dont think soo.....just think about it

thank u for praying for us but its ok some of us know what we are doing and yes i may go to hell for it but its between me and my god..yes your are right the world is becoming evil but nothing more so than the ordinary..its just that now you are aware of what John Ching is doing in China aswell as Jane Whiplash is doing in Alaska all at the same time where once upon a time a loooooong time ago..there was no such technology..news, radio, internet, planes, yeah they all contribute to the times moving forward and so is the awareness of more than one sexuality..open your mind to change and it will be easier for you to accept the many variety of sexs around you..
on anoher note: my grandmother would of been disgusted with you for driving, assuming u are a man by working and even more for opening your mouth to state your opinion because u are a woman and in the bible a womans place is in the home baring as many children as god gives no contraceptives, working cleaning seen but not heard and she can go into chapters and versus too to back up her statements..so you see times change your mind set is still closed..try opening it it will do u a world of good in the long run..

I will admit that I think that it weird, the whole trans thing but we have to understand that what one does in their life is their choice. Just like us, we would like to do things our own ways, ways that we see fit for ourselves and what makes us happy.
So really, it's none of our business what one does in their private life...unless it's illegal =p

What exactly were you sad about? Was he prettier than you? Next time, pray for some compassion.
Stop adding details! We get it, you love people.
