@KRG, super-thanks! :D
@Darius, it's the one of the worst things of sexist culture. People think that sexism is only flowers to men and only cruelty for women, but it's a culture that oppresses both genders, if you don't conform to patterns.
A man with a skirt is not a transvestite if he is not doing it to be more feminine. I mean, who said that skirts are intrinsically feminine? The women went and made pants a cloth for both sexes, so why don't me unite and make skirts something for both sexes? There's nothing forbidding it. Just our cultural prejudices.
Personally, and simply, I agree with BOTH people argueing here. Specifically "It's a skirt." & "Who cares?" To complicate this issue, I'm of the oppinion that we should try to kill the term "Transvestite", not because there's anything wrong with the people called "Transvestites", but because of how inherintly sexist those who care about this subtly are. Basically, my problem is that a MALE just needs to wear a dress to be called a Transvestite, while a FEMALE typically needs to put REAL EFFORT into it, and may still not be called a Transvestite.

I like your comic it's a very interesting take on the old stories and I love how Bram is a Whovian.
