TV shows/movies generally do more to demonize/caricature those who crossdress and make them look bad compared to what Real Life examples do.  Ones in Real Life tend to have more neutral presentation/motivations, and YouTube may similarly tend to lack the sort of cues more common in popular media.

I personally haven't looked around YouTube too much, but TV/movies tend to perpetuate stereotypes and harmful images of various minorities, so there's a certain justification for your feelings, and you could see you'd probably have those kinds of feelings towards other groups as well (gays, Muslims, etc...).

I do not feal much about religion I believe in "fredom of believe" just do not push it on outhers

And I never found any homosexual scary

It is just the media makes it look wrong or evil and makes me feal a bit mad and depresed when I see it but I get over it

Oh, scary television. Now I get it. For a moment I thought you were speaking of a scary ->-bleeped-<-. I have seen a few Drag Queens I would not want to bump into in a dark ally. Most TV programs and movies with crossdressers I find entertaining. I'm not very impressed with the movie "Tootsie". In the Wild, Wild West movie with Will Smith I beleive, his sidekick, Artimus Gordon crossdresses and makes a very attractive lady.
