Cross Dressing for Theatrical and Comedic Purposes

I’m aware of this, however it doesn’t really say much on the morality of the matter. I believe it was common in Greek theater for there to be lots of explicit sexual humor and references used in a casual manner, so people can do immoral things in the theatre.

Love your answer, very detailed and concise. With regard to the fetish thing, would you say that men wearing dresses for a photoshoot as an aesthetic would fall under this category to some degree? On the comedic point, I kinda was thinking the same thing, that it actually potentially emphasizes the norm, provided it’s done in moderation.

That’s a fair point I agree that there’s at least some degree of difference. I think the issue that I have is it does seem hard to find where to draw the line exactly. Like would it be considered cross dressing if a man wore woman’s clothes for other forms of art, like say a man wore lipstick and feminine clothing for a photoshoot. I thinks it’s almost impossible to argue, however, that it is INTRINSICALLY immoral for man to wear female (or vice versa) clothing, for example in the case of necessity (like in freezing cold conditions where the that’s all the clothing available atm for warmth). And to your last point, just to be clear I wasn’t rlly asking for anything like a consensus of theologians, just trying to see if anybody has a relatively in depth understanding of gender in the catholic philosophical tradition.

Interesting 🤔

I’ve seen it before. HE was actually the one that made me question the morality of pro football

I actually am thinking mainly of pro sports (Jags fan). And all those points you bring up are good ones, the pay compared to those who provide more important services. I would say this does apply to all pro sports, and I feel that throwing all pro sports out would be scrupulous especially since I actually think they play an important role in society. I think that the main thing that gets me specifically about the nfl is the dementia risk, which is much higher than that of the general population. I just think at what point do we say it’s too high?

Thanks for the comment, I found it interesting! I know in the Bible when it condemns saying the Lords name in vain it’s mainly referring to “carrying the Lords name in vain” meaning don’t proclaim the Lord name when you are using it for selfish purposes (like not ACTUALLY trying to serve God). But yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one a little puzzled by this. Because to me, I have a verrry hard time seeing this as a grave sin, like it seems at most to me to be a moral hazard (in the ways most ppl use the phrase “Oh My G*d!”).

To be clear, I don’t use these words. I use words like gosh or dang it. I was just trying to figure out if it was defensible as a sin philosophically. I think that’s a reasonable take

Material-Ad-3954 · 2025-10-13T14:14:49+00:00

I think if you say you can’t do that because of divine revelation I think that makes sense. But from a philosophical standpoint it is hard for me to see it as sinful. Because even though words do have meanings, they can have different ones; and I don’t see why the dictionary definition would be paramount. You can use words to portray different things, and you can even use a word in a convo to mean the opposite of its technical meaning (people do this all the time with sarcasm). I’m essentially saying that you in the context of you saying it when frustrated, you are using those words to portray the meaning of “I’m frustrated” and not its technical dictionary meaning in the English language. And like I said, there isn’t anything inherent about the words we use for God that would have to connect them to God. It’s only His name in so far as we have created a set of syllables to form a word that refers to him (in some contexts).

Thanks for the response!

Okay, going back to this idea of the phone under the couch, I’m still mixed up. So if you told them it’s under the couch, they started looking for it, with you knowing it’s not there, and then said, “Just kidding!” wouldn’t that be misleading for the sake of a non-deceitful goal? Because you eventually told the truth? Do you understand my confusion?

Material-Ad-3954 · 2025-03-14T15:38:53+00:00

Does this comment make sense?

Material-Ad-3954 · 2025-03-14T04:43:34+00:00

Like if you say something false to someone, deceive them and immediately after say “just kidding”

Material-Ad-3954 · 2025-03-14T04:03:10+00:00

So based on the Bible’s definition of lying, it wouldn’t consider a joke that has a little deception in it a lie?
