"And my wife." Were you also obliged to use makeup?" he asked."No," I admitted."Were you obliged to use a female name?" he continued."No," I said."Wel..., there you go," he said, "you are obliged to wear women'sclothing, but you choose to appear as a woman voluntarily." But I don't have a choice," I protested, "otherwise, I'll look like aman in women's clothes."
