CHIC Speakers Bureau CHIC has had a very active speakers bureau since 1977. We send one or more speakers to each location, depending on the needs of the teacher. We attempt to explain crossdressing from the crossdressers point of view.
Many people have a preconceived notion that crossdressing is a perversion or mental illness.
But the general public's perception of crossdressing is skewed heavily towards the idea that we are drag-queens, dressed for shock value, decked out in overdone makeup and underdone attire. After all, drag queens are the people who frequently appear on syndicated TV talk-shows. Many people reflect attitudes about us formed at the turn of the century, or earlier, when little was known about crossdressing. Our Speakers Bureau Coordinator will call you back.
