Cross Dressers

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?

What is a woman called that wears pants?

Rev, what one is called depends on if they're purposefully trying to appear as the opposite sex. Men who are cross-dressers will also wear a wig and carry a purse. Women who are cross-dressers will wear a mustach, comb their hair like a man's or wear a wig, and wear men's shoes.

As to your question about what a woman is called that wears pants - She's call a woman!

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.

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?

And at one time, everyone wore robes. So what is your point??? That fashions change?

I saw a picture of J-Lo in a pair of pants------------------------
Sure didn't look like no man to me!!!!!!!

Seriously, the pants issue to me has more to do with a woman being modest than looking like a man. Of course there are lesbians trying to portray themselves as a man. The problem with this line of argument is that we have women in Pentecostal churches that will wear a skin-tight skirt/dress and justify that she is holy because she isn't wearing pants. The issue is sensuality and exposing the body in an inappropriate manner IMO.
