Is there such a thing as crossdressing anymore? It seems that girls can wear blue jeans, polos, and hoodies without being crossdressing. But also these versions of them are heavily feminized. On the other hand there are some things that are still called crossdressing, a man wearing drag, for instance. But these things only apply to males. It would seem that there is no such thing as female crossdressing. What are your thoughts on the subject?
I suggest if you're in Brisbane, Queensland anytime soon go to The Beat, The Wickham or Family (on fluffy night). Believe me your first question will instantly, luridly and vividly be answered.
I've seen women dressed as men. On several occasions I've even seen women with fake or penned on facial hair. You mention jeans, polos and hoodies, but as you also point out what they wear are feminized versions. I've seen women wearing clothes that are intentionally masculine.
I remember a builder who had come through to price out renovating the kitchen I worked at. I couldn't work out what was out of place with this guy until one of the managers pointed out he was a she and she was also going out with a female manager from an affiliated venue. She did not look or sound female.
Also once at my local, I was at the bar when what I thought was a young skinny kid wondered past the bar. When the person left we all looked at each other and said "was that a guy or a girl?" It turned out to be a young waifish girl who only dressed in guys clothes and cropped her hair in a men's style.
I also once saw a lesbian couple walking in the Myer mall. At first glance you would have thought they were a young hetro couple, up close though one of the girls had her hair cut short in a men's style, wore a man's suit and tie and had a penned on goatee.
