Half naked man in woman's clothes right or wrong? Post Reply

[Clapham44]

Let me start by saying I'm not a small minded person at all!
and I think it's very important we are all individuals I think we all have a right to express who we are and what we are!
But the guy who walks around on Northcote Road dresses in woman's clothes ( I have no problem with that) but what I have a problem with the fact his mini skirt is shorter then short and you can see the y-front underwear with the tackle and his butt hanging out! And a boob tube OMG!!
It's wrong when there are so many kids around
Or am I becoming old and narrow minded?

I think it's kind of funny. I've always presumed there are some mental health issues there but to each their own and all that..

It's only the human body

Live and let live. He's doing no harm. Unlike other horrid individuals in this world.

That'll will be the famous Clapham trannie lol

I was wondering what had happened to him - haven't seen him for ages, glad he's still here. He is quite a sight but whenever my children have seen him they are confused rather than appalled!

[Stinemor]

I've only ever known him/her as 'tranny-on-a-bike'. According to legend she used to live in a van on Thurleigh Road but I've never seen her there.
She does wear some jaw-dropping outfits, but she's harmless

He has been around for YEARS and as said he is harmless. He does want to have the full change but to date this has not happened.
He is a familiar character in the St John's/Northcote Road area and does create a great deal of attention when he cycles/ walks around but maybe that is what he craves and enjoys.
I say live and let live............

Can we not give out the address of this individual please?

He is doing no harm and breaking no law. If curious, children will learn that we have the freedom to dress as we like, and that's a great thing.

I was saying to a friend recently that one of the things we miss about living in NVN is the eclectic sights (I mentioned him/ her as the example!) that my children would see but not think unusual. Whereas now, they would stare at anyone they perceived to be unusual. Interesting to have a variety of people around.

[btcmum]

I agree with the OP - the level of exposure is, sometimes (more often than not…), a little too much here!

[Bodders1]

Some of the outfits seem a little OTT but she seems completely harmless so I say live and let live! We don't have a huge amount of diversity in the N road area anymore so perhaps not such a bad thing..

[juliantenniscoach]

I do understand completely the 'nakedness' issue. But outside of putting one's bits in place, a little diversity wouldn't go amiss here.

[Lulumoo]

While he/she does not bother me, I'm curious as to whether you would all feel as relaxed about it if it were an actual woman riding around with bits exposed….

I've seen her round for years and she always draws attention which, like others have said, seems to be what she craves. My mum was pushing DS in buggy last summer, when a lorry came round a bit quick to the zebra crossing and didn't appear to be slowing down. She stepped in with a really gruff voice and started to tell off the driver, stuck up for local residents round here, and made sure my Mum got across the road safely with the buggy. I think she's a bit of a legend! (and just wants to be loved).
