While I predominately speak about men cross-dressing as women, as it is reported by a few of the sources I use in my 'References,' that there were probably more females cross-dressing at the time. The only issue with this is that because it was not seen as an illegal act there are not as many police reports on women in male drag. Because the controversy lies on those born as men dressing as women which is why I wanted to discuss it in this context. It would be interesting to research female crossing-dressing a bit more in depth in a future blog post.Jason Beginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479228746331293582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-43506684868310638042015-12-07T03:28:43.284-08:002015-12-07T03:28:43.284-08:00Hi Alastair,

As You Like It and a few other Shakespearean/Elizabethan (and earlier - I'm thinking particularly the 16th century Italian commedia dell'arte) cross-dressing instances did come to mind while researching. I wasn't able to uncover any men I've mentioned being influenced by these pieces but I did find that the correlations were apparent. I am assuming, in particular, that Fanny and Stella, would have been highly influenced by literature and plays. Cross-dressing was not a new idea though in my opinion were the first to start embracing their lifestyles in communities. Thanks for addressing this point!

I realize this was quite a male dominated era, but I was wondering if you came across any cases about women cross-dressing in your research. The fact that there is so little focus on women in this subject makes me wonder if there were less women cross-dressing or if they were just better at hiding it? The first picture of your post was wonderful! I very much enjoyed it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325368032189911388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172853256636260201.post-63225210200824387972015-11-27T14:04:56.453-08:002015-11-27T14:04:56.453-08:00Hi Jason, what a fascinating subject.

I was particularly interested by the details of the Wilde legal case, and the male prostitute's awareness of the nuances between sexuality and gender identities. I wondered if you'd come across any discussion of the cross-dressing used in Shakespeare's comedies such as As You Like It in your research, and if you had any thoughts on how the Victorians received/viewed cross-dressing Shakespeare's plays?Alastair Sherwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832908415304327156noreply@blogger.com
