Is it illegal to get into a cab dressed as a tranny?

  • June 21, 2011 2:55 PM BST
    Is it? I don't know, it might be....There are so many old and stupid laws in existence ! For instance,,where I live it's still legal to shhot a welshman with a bow and arrow within the city walls on a sunday !! Its illegal to get in a cab with a cold...And every cabbie in London has to carry a bag of horsefeed!!! lol ..Anybody else know of any ????

    No, April, it is not illegal to dress as a tranny, either in or out of a cab/taxi. Likewise it is not illegal to use your femme name, as long as it's not to commit a criminal offence.

    When I first came out and had the 'tranny madness', I went into Manchester two nights a week for a while and got cabs. I lost count of the come-ons I got from cab drivers. Its particularly difficult (now funny) when you are trying to sneak down your road quietly at 2am with a cabbie shouting 'Come on Luv, giv us a cuddle!'. Cabbies did find a tranny genuinely fascinating though, despite their apparent right wing attitudes. I remember make one laugh til he cried when I was telling him that when I was small I used to watch Mr.Ben on TV and always hoped he'd change into a showgirl/nurse/princess

    I think its illegal to enter a Cabbie without his permission.
    Having his light on isn't the same thing. xxx

    It is legal to use a cab dressed as long as you behave in a way that is unlikely to be considered obscene or to cause a breach of the peace! however I've lost count of the number of minicabs I have taken where I have sat with the drivers hand up my skirt bewteen my legs for almost the entire journey! I used to use a couple of regualr cars when going to the Philbeach before it closed and often got a 'discoun' for favours rendered! once many years ago, I gave up going to my destination after a particularly long and heated session on the back seat with a lovely cabby called Charles!.....thats the only cab I ever took where I was paid!

    The only time it is not legal to travel dressed is if you have to use your passport as you have to be what your passport says and match the photo image on it! So if your passport says Male and has a photo of you looking like a guy then you have to by law look like the image.

    How ever it is legal to travel by any other means and to be refused use of a service based on you being "dressed" is illegal as this is discrimination! ( This is based on the current UK laws ) Hope this helps xx

    An Indian national working in Dubai as an administrator with a property development company has been sentenced to a six-month suspended jail term and fined $2,722 for cross-dressing and wearing mascara in public, the Dubai newspaper Gulf News reported. According to the paper, the man was arrested by a police officer in civilian clothes in the Mall of the Emirates in what the police described as a glittering outfit, a bra, mascara, women's perfume and a wig. The defendant claims he was cross-dressing as part of his preparation for a small part in an upcoming Bollywood movie, when he received an urgent phone call. He also disputes claims that he tried to bribe the police officer who arrested him, arguing that he simply offered to pay the fine on the spot.......http://cruelkev.blogspot.com/2009/02/dubai-court-fines-man-for-crossdressing.html

    Well, in Australia, it is illegal to be married as a same sex couple . The Law does not recognize "same sex marriage" ...

    Also, it is okay to shoot the Welsh whenever the whim occurs ! In fact, it is illegal not to !!

    Love you April !
