I like to know if their a correlation between crossdressing. Or dressing in girls clothes while still look be a male. Or feminine enough that you look like a girl. Why is it a problem that girls can wear boys clothes. But the reverse. Why is it called styles for girls. But crossdressing for men.

"Girl" things are still considered inferior to "guy" things even today in this so-called modern society we live in. I can wear pants and no one thinks, "Ooo, she looks like a dude!" just because of that, but if a guy wants to wear a dress it's still considered by many to be "wrong". It's the same for almost any thing else, a little girl might like to play baseball and everyone thinks that's great, but a boy wants to play with dolls and it's homophobia alert. "Girl's" dolls generally encourage nurturing and love, if a boy behaves that way what's so wrong with it? I used to play with action figures and not just dolls, and my parents didn't have a problem with it.

The other guys right.

Our society has a strong sexist double standard.

Women can be masculine and be accepted, but men can't be feminine in anyway...
