I think cross-dressing can be pretty vague, because it usually implies someone sporting the clothes of gender role they are more than aware they don't fit into...and sometimes it doesn't. I feel like people who cross-dress may have a lot less in common with people who are gender dysphoric, because the transition usually happens for similar reasons; people don't always cross-dress to fulfill a common purpose, if you know what I mean. As for me, I dress the way I do not because I feel like I'm wearing the clothes of that are associated with men and that gets my arouse or something; I don't think it's fun either - it just feels right to me. Still, it is somehow more acceptable for females that don't pass as male to wear clothing of the opposite sex than it is for males who don't pass as females. By society's standards, I am technically cross-dressing because I was born a bio-female, but which clothes go what gender is really something totally made up by humankind anyway. For instance, the color pink that girls seem to love so much these days used to be associated with men prior to the 19th century, because it indicated "vibrance" and "vitality". Blue was more of a "calm" and "quiet" colors so it was attributed to females. Basically, what screams female or male now might not in a few decades, especially with how fast ideas spread because of technology. I think people should just wear whatever they want - as long as it makes you happy, that's what matters in the long run, right? Just try to be the best person you can be, whoever you are. :3
