I think the point is being missed. If wearing the clothes of the opposite sex wasn't taboo, how many would have started crossdressing in the first place? I'd wager very few. I mean I probably wouldn't have, for a start. Being raised, we'd not have had the gender demarcation of what we should or shouldn't wear. Trying the forbidden fruit of hosiery/lingerie (other crossdressing triggers are available) of some sort wouldn't have had the cache of naughtiness it does
