If a man that wears a dress is called a cross dresser
What is a woman called that wears pants?
Are there dresses made for men? Or are the men wearing women's dresses?

I don't think they are making dresses for men yet, but as sick as this world is I don't think it will be long before they do.
I'd have to say that if there were dresses made for men, a man wouldn't be cross dressing if he wore one.
However, if he wears a dress made for women with the intent of making himself look like a woman, you might have a point.
Just as if a woman wears pants made for women, I don't see how we can say she's crossdressing.
However, if she wears a man's apparel with the purpose of looking like a man, she's crossdressing.

Women almost never wore pants until the 1940s.
The school where I went would not allow girls to wear pants and it sure wasn't pentecostal.

I would agree that traditionally it wasn't acceptable, but do we really have scripture to back the "no pants for women" issue?

Is it written in the bible that women must wear dresses?
Were dresses invented by the twelve apostles, or were dresses a product of culture? If they were a product of culture, what if that culture changes? Is culture ever allowed to change?
What was the reason for the tradition? Because all churches taught it at one time.
I have an old, old book written by a Methodist. Dress was very important to them then.
Oh, so we don't need scripture, because all churches taught it.
Once again, tradition trumps scripture.
