A man who enjoys dressing in woman's clothing is a cross-dresser. A transvestite is someone who feels they were born as the wrong sex.

It's dosen't have anything to do if he's straight or gay. “rather than a gay male who dresses in women’s clothes, which is a transvestite.” – No, a transvestite is just man who likes to dress like a woman.

I just read up a little about Yukio Mishima. I'm surprised Miwa is being described as the former lover of someone who killed himself nearly 40 years ago. Talk about skeletons in the closet.

WTF! Lover of Mishima?! Lordy. However, the drag queen thing explains the pronoun use. Our own former "Lily Savage" a pre-The Simpsons chat show host, Paul thingamabob, maintains he is just a bloke who dressed in women's clothes - a drag queen - rather than a gay male who dresses in women's clothes, which is a transvestite. Frankly, I'm not sure why I'm revisiting this fairly peculiar thread, but there you have it. Yo Nick

Whether its spooky, mystical music accompanying Ehara's messages from the grave, or the high-tempo, action movie style music that is played throughout news reports, it really is an emotion-driven rollercoatser!

Kazue (my missus) doesn't just watch this rubbish, but gets her sister to record hours of it on DVD and ship it across the planet. It's the constant "mystical" soundtrack that really narks me - it's impossible to ignore, try as I might. Lordy, your wife is at it too?
