The Chinese public is abuzz about the recent cross-dressing contestant, Liu Zhu, on the Super Boy reality show.
刘著,今年“快男”比赛中的一位异装(即大家所说的“伪娘”)选手目前已成为国内观众热议的一个人物。
英文的Wikipedia对cross-dressing一词有很详尽的解释,以下是部分摘录:
Cross-dressing runs significantly counter to social norms and, therefore, can be seen as a type of transgender behavior. It does not, however, necessarily indicate transgender identity; a person who cross-dresses does not always identify as being of the opposite gender. Referring to a person as a cross-dresser suggests that their cross-dressing behavior is habitual
There are many different kinds of cross-dressing and many different reasons why an individual might engage in cross-dressing behavior. Some people cross-dress as a matter of comfort or style. They prefer clothing associated with the opposite sex.
