"The problem with that idea is, we don't have 'sides'; that implies multiple personality disorder."
There is definitely a problem with referring to using phrases as "espressing our female side" and the like. I've seen good arguments about this and frankly am not happy about using the words "female side" or "female aspect". It's hard to come up with something better. When I read about naval history or warship design, topics I find exhilarating, I'm not expressing my "male side", just reading what interests me. When en femme，I'm merely wearing the clothes I like best, not really expressing a "female side."
What we do is very much an integral part of us and is not a multiple personality disorder. I feel that I'm my real self only when I'm en femme. I'm just playing a role when in drab, hiding the real me. Being en femme is not really expressing a side of me but is the real me. Period.
Perhaps someone can come up with a more acceptable term to describe males having to dress in female attire, if we need a term at all. This might be turned into an intersting thread.
