Question: is that a man dressed like a woman or a woman with a beard? The only reason I ask is because the beard looks incredibly fake!! It looks painted on.

Lol. Yeah I know what you mean. Thats what I thought. lol
The beard is real.

But the official site say:

Because of the discrimination against Tom in his teenage- years, he created Conchita. The Bearded Lady, as a statement. A statement for tolerance and acceptance- as it's not about appearances; it's about the human being. 'Everybody should live their lifes however they want, as long as nobody else gets hurt or is restricted in their own way of life.'

I COMPLETELY agree with that!!!! But, sadly, there are so many people out there that feel that you ARE hurting others by doing this kind of stuff! Mostly, they think it's screwing up the heads of their kids! Well, if they hadn't screwed them up first by programming them to think that way (only girls wear dresses and any guys that do are fags, but girls can dress like boys anytime they want!), they wouldn't have anything to worry about if they saw a guy in a dress!!
Comedian, Eddie Izzard used to do every show wearing female style make-up and SOME female clothing. I didn't think he looked all that great in it, he should've toned it down a bit on the make-up, but I completely agree with his point and support him doing it!!
