Ironic situation, since the army itself has a tradition of doing drag itself.

I do precisely the same thing -- it's considered polite behaviour. However, I do recall the time I received a rather vitriolic dressing-down by some random rad-fem type (possibly lesbian; I neither knew nor cared) for holding a train-station door which caught me rather aback. Somebody must've had a hair across her backside that day, because I did not deserve what I got -- and I gave some of it back, mind -- verbally (and I've got a wondrous vocabulary).

It ain't half hot, mum.

I don't care if the victim was a masculine wearing man with a beard wearing a ballroom gown. You just don't grab ANYBODY by the breast without permission.
