Why tons of M-to-F's and so few F-to-Ms?

I must be missing something, but I don't get the argument that women already wear traditionally men's clothes so it isn't considered crossdressing.

Of course it isn't. Otherwise, every woman I know would be CD.

From my perspective as a MTF CD (and I would guess many others) it goes far beyond the clothing. The clothing is only an outward expression of trying to be feminine. That's why most of us adopt feminine names. If women traditionally wore pants and men skirts, I'd want to wear pants I'm sure.

I guess that what I was trying to say is that since women now wear men's things as a matter of course, it would be difficult for a woman to ever be perceived by others as a crossdresser, unless,she told them or something. I actually think it takes away from the overall experience for them. I would think that MTFs wouldn't enjoy it as much if skirts and dresses became part of a man's everyday wardrobe either. Maybe, this would make a good topic for discussion.
