@SomaliRose @AnungIkwe Men in dresses (or any other "women's" clothing) are scary because that's their intention.
Its exactly why Clowns are scary, the Clown face (especially to children) is not immediately identifiable as a human being.
The appearance says one thing, everything else (voice, height, actions, pheromones) says another.
Historically, men adopted women's dress to show positions of power, (Priests) aggression (armies, ie Roman, Scot, Indian) and to confuse (spies, fugitives, suicide bombers).

Being confronted by a cross-dressing man is instantly scary, even a picture - that's why it works.

Historically we made fun of them as a way of defusing the fear, even took kids along to Panto to laugh at the Ugly Sisters (always played by men) and the Circus,to laugh at the Clowns.

Nowadays, laughing is forbidden.
The "Trans" movement is a societal attempt to stop us using the mechanism of laughter (and teaching children to laugh), to expose their masquerade.
