Dressing unisexly is not cross dressing. Have you seen a girl wearing jeans and a T-shirt today? I'll bet you probably have. Is that cross dressing? Maybe in the 1910s it was. These days it's possible for clothes not to be "boys' clothes" or "girls' clothes".
Seriously, by your apparent definition, how would you not cross-dress a BABY? Little tiny business suits or frilly dresses? Black leather or French maid outfits? I'm just curious.
I've had long hair since I was WAY young enough to regularly get mistaken for a girl, and yes, that annoyed me at the time. (Seriously, since I was like seven or eight years old.) It was MY choice to grow it out, and my choice to keep it. My favourite colour has always been purple. I've never had gender identity issues, like, at all, ever. There is no causation. None. There isn't even a correlation.
Doesn't it mean society is getting more "pussified", when people can't take a little variation from the norm? You're not supposed to "conform" to "gender roles", it's the other way around... The idea of "roles", if that's even valid at all should be defined by what everyone makes of them. I got used to dealing with people who wanted to make fun of me for my long hair ages ago. I didn't immediately cut it off so I could conform. I think that made me a better person than if I would have, and I think it's better for everyone to learn to ignore the dumb comments they get for not fitting into whatever stereotype people are trying to apply to them. I'm talking about ALL stereotypes in general here, not just gender.
I'm not even going to get into "crossdressing is wrong..." Just be aware that YOU, personally, probably know someone who does at this very moment. Yes, even in Red Deer. You have no idea who it is because, well, there isn't a giant floating arrow over their head. That would probably be the only sure way to tell if it were true.
Bah, forget it, I'm out of this one. [Edit: no I'm not, I've ninja edited this post about twelve times over the last forty minutes and made two more already. As if I have better things to do with my time...] I've sat out way dumber arguments on this board, so I don't know why I made an exception here. I'm just tired of people on here throwing around good ol' 1950s values and acting like they are some sort of universal truths. Hay guys there was a cultural revolution about all this E36 M3 like 40 years ago, remember? That didn't come from nowhere.
Oh, and also, "get back in the kitchen, woman" jokes aren't funny. Not even ironically.
Sheesh...
