You misunderstand my point.

Many scholars point out that the pagan nations around Israel (namely the Canaanites) would cross dress as part of their lewd pagan practices. For this reason, some scholars say that God forbade the practice in general so as to address the perversion of it all, not merely the paganism.

What a bunch of baloney.

Deuteronomy 22:5 doesn't say as much as boo devil boo about paganism.
Did pagans also build houses without a parapet? Did make it a practice of distributing nests with mother and young? Did they always use oxen yoked with donkeys?

What a joke.

As I said, "God forbade the practice in general so as to address the perversion of it all, not merely the paganism."

So ,you believe it's only about bifurcated undergarments?

Deuteronomy 22:5

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man - כלי גבר keli geber, the instruments or arms of a man. As the word גבר geber is here used, which properly signifies a strong man or man of war, it is very probable that armor is here intended; especially as we know that in the worship of Venus, to which that of Astarte or Ashtaroth among the Canaanites bore a striking resemblance, the women were accustomed to appear in armor before her. It certainly cannot mean a simple change in dress, whereby the men might pass for women, and vice versa. This would have been impossible in those countries where the dress of the sexes had but little to distinguish it, and where every man wore a long beard. It is, however, a very good general precept understood literally, and applies particularly to those countries where the dress alone distinguishes between the male and the female. The close-shaved gentleman may at any time appear like a woman in the female dress, and the woman appear as a man in the male’s attire. Were this to be tolerated in society, it would produce the greatest confusion. Clodius, who dressed himself like a woman that he might mingle with the Roman ladies in the feast of the Bona Dea, was universally execrated.

[Amanah]

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
. . .
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Pink Floyd, Wish you were here
