I was meandering though the web, reading an article from the UK Observer, "20 predictions for the next 25 years". It's an interesting article and has nothing to do with gender or trans. In their prediction #12 for future fashions (scroll to mid page), the paragraph begins with:

Even the reporters at The Guardian know that how we choose to present ourselves reflects who we feel we are. Veronica, what do you think informs our choices to present the way we do? Why do you make certain choices when you dress as a guy? Please take some time to think deeply about this.

It also might help if you stop thinking of your femme persona (the person who presents femme and whom you associate with the name Veronica), as an entity outside of your guy self.

No one is saying that crossing gender boundaries means the person identifies as a woman. Please go back and read the posts. Also, gender identity is not "either/or", male or female. There is a VAST range in between the two polarities. I know this is a difficult concept to understand, but please try. If you are unwilling to understand this, that's fine. But please stop insisting that gender is binary. It just isn't.

... also Sara, there are other people posting in this thread, not just me. Just saying.
