Japan's Cross Dressing Double?
This story comes from Rocket News24.
These days, even "more mature" girls such as myself have some knowledge of the world of anime and it's resultant attraction to cosplayers which translates to crossplayers in English.
Ironically in Japan many cosplay regulations at many conventions include no cross dressers? Really?
It's true:
The Rocket News article says female to male cosplay is incredibly popular in Japan and questions the double standard:
"Presumably, this is because organizers fear the event hall will be flooded with middle-aged men in schoolgirl uniforms and other oddities most people don’t want to see, but Naoko argues that this concern is misplaced and
that these days, male-to-female crossplayers are a visual force to be reckoned with."
I'm far from an expert on Japanese culture but with the cross dressing television shows and the like I have seen from there I'm relatively surprised.
