It's "intimidating" only for the closet cases. For most people it's not a big deal given that seeing a male in a dress neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I see. So if you find the idea of a mentally ill young man dressing like a woman and wearing grotesque female cosmetics that would shame a prostitute in any way wrong, perverse, or disgusting, you're a "closet case"?

You've drunk too much of the GLBTQYADDAYADDA kool aide, my friend.

I was hammering in on the word "intimidate" - I am genuinely curious about people who are frightened of 15 year old boy in a dress. As for the substance of the boy-in-a-dress issue, I find myself in a big heap of I-don't-really-care-that-much. It's a big world and there's much more to be upset and disgusted about than the sartorial choices of a teenager. I think the people who are frothing at mouth over it are working out their own psychological issues.
