As a Scot - with a kilt - I can definitely say that I'm not a transvestite!!
Kilted Scots 'are cross-dressers'
POLISH schoolchildren have been issued with a new sex education guide
which uses a kilted Scot to depict cross-dressers.
In a book used by teachers for social and sex education, a picture of a kilted
man illustrates an article about transvestites and cross-dressers. The article
explains that some men want to wear women's clothes, or change their sex.
When the publishers were told that the illustration might cause offence to
Scots, the firm approached the British Embassy in Warsaw. The embassy
consulted its Scottish members of staff, including the ambassador, John
Macgregor, and concluded that Scots would find it amusing rather than
insulting.
Yesterday, however, an embassy official said the publishers should have been
more tactful. Matthew Day, Warsaw
