Is there any hetar to dress up as a girl/boy on Purim? How about other controversial costumes? ( costumes from movies, Arabs, singers)
Why should Purim be Mattir an Issur D’oraisa of Beged Ish/Ishah?
Its muttar if its a troll.
Actually I think I saw somewhere it was muttar or at least Not-Forbidden
It definatly has been debated and the answer is not as clear cut as you think
toi lol, but I don’t think u can accuse coreycup…

I was a troll last year. This year, I will be one of the three billy goats gruff. Not sure which one.
Sam2- Because the Rema says it is.
That said, the Mishna Berura is of the opinion that we should abolish this minhag, and perhaps if it is only one garment and the gender is clear we shouldnt protest. (read: we shouldnt burn garbage cans, throw rocks, or pour bleach on them.)
difference between 1) muttar and 2) not-forbidden?
I dressed up my 2yo daughter like a boy. She wasn’t so happy to be wearing pants, but it was really cute and we have great pictures from it. We wouldn’t do it after age 3.
learn some Shulchan Aruch,

Letter of the law vs spirit of the law.
My brother was a girl last year (as I mentioned in another thread). He was nine. At above bar mitzvah he wouldn’t be allowed to do it (if he actually wanted to, that is…)
My dad’s friend was an Arab.
Personally, those are not the weirdest costumes I’ve ever heard of.
as an aside, my father dressed up one year as a woman. He wore a dress with a shaitel and put a pillow by his stomache. And he had a rather large moustache.
