I've heard it before in reference to a male crossdresser. Which, I find amusing because in the eyes of general society and "everyday clothing", it appears that there really is no such thing as female crossdressers. Nobody bats an eyelash at the woman wearing slacks and a guy's polo.

The only times society would see a female crossdresser is if she were wearing a tux (or really, any formal guy's coat) or dressing up as a male character.

Quite silly, if you ask me.

Seriously.

Thanks for the clarification. Strange, though, the concept of "crossdressing" can make a woman look more appealing/sexy; for example, Marlene Dietrich or Madonna. Why doesn't female "crossdressing" bring out the same hostility?

For the OP, let your freak flag fly.
How he dresses is his business, and if he looks good, more power to him.

But then I run with guys who wear kilts routinely, not just for special occasions, so maybe my perspective is skewed.

A cute pair of jeans would also be fantastic for that top. And for fall, a nice riding coat would accent the shirt. Black with gray accents, of course.

Which is quite sad, really. Everyone has different tastes in clothing; not one better than the other.
I've actually worn this with jeans before and it actually works! And yes, I do have the body. I am extremely slim and athletic. I do not like really short shorts though as I have quite long legs. I wear a lot of capri length jeans though as this tends to work!

I have always referred to myself as freemale as I do not fit either gender. I wear clothing of both genders, whatever works. I don't even see it as crossdressing. It's not sexual, I just feel more like me in certain items of clothing, mostly female. I also regularly paint my nails. And believe it or not, I have gotten whistled at by guys while running as the rear view in particular is often mistaken for female. It's like this though. I go to work dressed as a man, I dress as a woman at home or with friends who know and accept me and I tend to work out in women's clothing rather than men's as it fits my form better.

I would post pics, but this isn't the right place for this freak

Well, just a crossdresser, but he says he's straight but that doesn't make sense... I guess there's not a category for this person. lol

No... it makes plenty of sense. There are a surprising amount of cis (cisgender means you identify as the gender you have the equipment for) heterosexual guys who just like wearing women's clothing.

Nevertheless, it's strange. Straight guys wanting to wear a bikini? What a sick sight. Just means they're crossdressers, but confused.
