I half-jokingly refer to Halloween as "The Transgender Christmas." I consider our biggest holiday. It's the one time of year mainstream society gives a free pass to gender-benders. Open and closeted crossdressers, trans and genderqueer people can express themselves as they please. They're even encouraged to do so. While most of society uses Halloween to be someone else, we take advantage of the day to be more true to ourselves. It is sad that our culture needs the excuse of a holiday to accept us as such, but that doesn't mean we can't take full advantage of it.
