Sooo just a reminder:

Dresses were the norm for boys in 100+ years ago, and the color pink was a color for boys as well.

Oh yea and in the 1700s it was normal fashion for men to wear high heels.

But hey, lets make up whatever fake history we want to make gender norms sound like they have always been the same and that "cross dressing" and "drag" are somehow new inventions.

Not a valid premise. Fashion shifted, sure, but they were not wearing costumes meant to represent the opposite gender.

Sure they did.. cross-dressing specifically to wear styles of the opposite gender was **also** very common and not a modern invention by any means.

Fashion does change, but the pursuit of beauty probably does not.

Suits look great on gentlemen, but also handsome on women. Likewise, although dresses (in modern times) are generally considered to be women's clothing, they look just as good on men when properly dressed.

I don't think clothing should be tied to gender, if it looks good, then it's pretty/beautiful. If it's not, kindly offer your advice (about dressing techniques, not your opinions about genders and clothes), or just turn your head away, simply don't look.

Also, cats generally don't share the same gender with humans, but human clothes look pretty on them too.
