So there’s been a lot of discussion about the Oregon fellow (transman) who is currently with child. Thankfully (and I’m so proud of 2008!) most of is has been quite positive, whether it’s in the blogosphere or on Oprah. But it turns out that he isn’t the first!

Wow! Good for them both!
Reuters today has a story titled “Cafe with cross-dressing difference”. I once was able to visit the Akihabara neighborhood in Tokyo to gawk at electronics. I hadn’t heard about the maid cafes, in which the waitresses dress as French maids (or a uniquely Japanese interpretation thereof 
).
Apr. 14 – Tokyo’s new cross-dressing maid cafe attracts both the young and old.
Long known as a hub for electronic and comic geeks, Tokyo’s Akihabara district is now a battleground for role-play based maid cafes. In the latest twist to popular maid cafes, Japanese men cross-dress and fill in for women to serve the patrons.
It’s apparently a good place to go en femme just to eat or hang out as well.
Here’s a link to the Reuters video.
