I think it's important to distinguish between cross-dressing and wearing clothes traditionally assigned to the opposite sex. A good friend of mine wears skirts of a summer evening, because they're comfortable, and when he does he's not identifying with femininity in any way.

I'm not sure I feel up to an in-depth examination of gender expectations tonight, though, so draw your own conclusions from what I've already said.

Not really interested in cross-dressing from male-to-female, but more so with female to male.
