I agree that the majority of males are quite content to be and present as just that. All the men I know personally see themselves as male and as one put it to me a few weeks ago; "Why whould I want to dress as a woman? I'm a man." Societal pressure and fear of persecution does play a small part but it is VERY small. The overwhelming majority of men just don't want to dress in a skirt, end of story.

However, I also agree that mens clothing choice is severly limited. Putting aside styling it's all a variation on a theme. Think about it. Jeans/shorts and a t-shirt, slacks a shirt, suit and tie, shoes or trainers. It's all the same, just slightly different.

Womens clothing on the other has has far more variety. Skirt or trousers, blouse, t-shirt or vest top, tights, stockings or bare legs. Dresses in a huge variety of styles. High heels or flats. There's even more variety in underwear. Men can have boxers or y-fronts/pants; whereas women can have knickers or thongs or french panties, push up bras or support bras or even a single piece combination. Even tights have a large variety of colours, styles and patterns.

I see myself as male because that's what sex I was born. I do wish I had been born female and to that end I dress in female clothing a fair amount. However, whether I'm presenting as male or female I don't really give a crap about fashion. If it's comfortable and looks good on me I don't care if it's trendy or not. I don't mix and match though, aside from my toe nails which are always painted it has to be either female or male, not a combination.
