I think we should invent a new holiday that's kinda like Halloween, but it's specifically for crossdressing.

This isn't a fetish thing but I think there's enough early-eggs who would quickly Learn Some Things About Themselves if they got a chance to crossdress.

Thus, let's make a holiday for culturally appropriate approved crossdressing. Just a day where people get dressed up as the opposite sex, for fun!

And if some of those people realize things about themselves in the process, great!

bonus points for

people who can't safely crossdress or otherwise indulge in their clothing preferences otherwise having a day to do so
people being given a safe space and day to explore their relationship with gender and clothing - no matter if they end up being trans or not
trans* people being able to return to/try out clothes they could not wear or enjoy before, i.e. because of dysphoria or prejudice from their surroundings
crossdressing just being really fun

Yeah exactly!

Ok so I was driving around and I realized I already did this last year, so... It's a thing now.

Crossdressing Day is October 13th every year.

This is an all ages all genders non-sexual* holiday. On that day, try crossdressing. Maybe go to a party or a lunch or whatever, crossdressed. Try it out. Get someone to dress you up, or go by a thrift shop and find some second hand clothes to try out. The important thing is to have fun with it.

And it's not a gender-binary-enforcing holiday! You don't need to dress as the "opposite" sex. Dress androgynous or weird genders or whatever. (just please try to avoid "man in a dress" comedy)

Fellow trans people: you can use this holiday to dress more fem/masc than you usually do, you can use it to not have to boymode/girlmode, or you can just skip it, of course.

Anyway the idea of the holiday is that you can try crossdressing for fun. It's lighthearted and not at all serious. Obviously consider your safety first, because there is sadly still transphobia, but hopefully there'll be a little less once Crossdressing Day catches on.

Mark your calendars
