The reason is because when a man dresses in women's clothing, most of the time he is attempting to pass as a woman. On the other hand when a woman dresses in men's clothing, in most cases she is not attempting to pass as as man. I wear women's clothing cosmetics, and other items but do not attempt to pass as a woman. Therefore I am very much like the woman the wears men's clothing without attempting to pass. I believe that society has an easier time accepting gender queer folks like myself because we don't attempt to pass as a woman. I am just a guy that wears women's clothing because I have a strong feminine component to my personality.
