As many have already stated, times have changed.
I really enjoy dressing up in male-mode, tie and all.
When en-fem (at home or out and about, including doing stand-up) it is only skirts and dresses for me.
In no way do I feel feminine in pants/trousers or shorts.
I really cannot find fault (not saying anyone here does) with women dressing up in pants, you know, to change it up.
