And that's a bad thing how? Personally I'm glad our society no longer deems things "shameful, wrong, odd, etc." - at least not when it comes to personal expression and gender identity. Why should anyone be ashamed to be themselves? As long as they're not hurting anyone else, I think it's great to be comfortable in who you are.
I do hope you don't mind if my culture maintains it's social norms of behavior.

You mean the Dutch culture? I don't care what you do personally, but on the same note, you shouldn't care how other people dress either... to each his/her own, I say.
P.S. "Social norms" change with almost every generation, as has been the case since forever.
Are you implying there's a correlation between serial killing and cross dressing? Okaaaaay... LOL.
Many serial killers identified as Christian too, so how is Christianity a good idea? Although, I really don't recall anyone saying cross-dressing is a GOOD idea - I'm just saying it isn't worth getting your panties (sorry - boxers!) in a wad. We are free to dress as we please in this country, so unless you want us to go the way of Saudi Arabia, leave people to their own attire choices.
Well, in all fairness these guys aren't any more part of my culture than you are.
According to your profile, part of your heritage is Scots/Irish - isn't the man in the kilt Irish (or Scottish)? Also, we might share more than you think... like our profession, for one thing.
Regardless, the point is that "societal norms" can change from place to place, and from generation to generation. Even within the same country, culture & generation these concepts are subjective, so NOBODY here can unequivocally say "This or that is not normal." Well, you can say whatever you want, but not everyone will necessarily agree.
