If a boy or man wants to act or dress effeminately, is that wrong?

How do you react when you see a male acting effeminately? Do you find that disturbing? And if so, why? How about when a female behaves effeminately?

What about when a woman acts or dresses masculinely? How does that effect you?

I'm asking because in another thread about the random gay murders in Baghdad, some of these clerics were quoted as saying, 'it is wrong for a man to be like a woman, and he must be killed'. But it seems to me, we in the US also believe that it is wrong for a man to be like a woman, given how much discrimination and hatred effeminate men face.
