Cross dressing and mistaken gender identity...

For years and years, almost forever it feel, cross dressing has existed. Whether it is for business or pleasure men and women love to switch makeup hair and fashion roles portraying themselves as the opposite sex. 

For some individuals it is much more than a simple bit of fun and games, that male or female wishes to go ahead and become the opposite sex and with modern capabilities they can be. Sex change is way more exaggerated than simple cross dressing, but changing basic appearance is where it starts. 

Girls look like boys with certain hair styles or wigs, no makeup, certain clothing choices and maybe bulking up at the gym. I think its easier for boys to look like girls as they have all the hairstyles and wigs to choose from, beautiful makeup and dresses and skirts and acting camp. 

It is not only a trend for public individuals, many of those in the media also choose to de feminise or emasculate themselves with the world watching, and many years ago too when it was rather more 'hush hush'. Annie Lennox had a crop hairstyle and always wore suit trousers and shirts creating a more masculine look for herself. Grace Jones shave off her hair and made herself look like a man in a feminine way with the way she posed. Famous drag queens sch as  Dame Edna is a male  comedian who dresses up as an elderly Australian woman and  Rupaul is a man who pile on the makeup, wigs and fashion creating a stunning female look for himself.  Lastly, in the video for 'The best song ever' by One Direction, the make Zayn Malik look exactly like a girl which has been done incredibly well.
