Dressing as a female when you are male is a Biblical transgression incidentally... Deuteronomy 22:5 not that people care these days but it has been a transgression for 4,000 years. They didn't make rules like that for no reason. It would have been for the safety of the whole community.
Don't be daft, Cas. Safety of the community had nothing to do with that injunction. Moses sermonized about this stuff for the sake of tribal purity, to prevent the customs of surrounding cultures to dilute Jewish ways just as the Jews were on the cusp of invading Canaan. The whole of Deuteronomy focused on this.
I find it telling that people who love to quote Deut. 22:5 never bother to quote the surrounding verses. Let me help you here:
4 If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.
5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
6 If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young. 7 You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.
8 When you build a new house, make a parapet around your roof so that you may not bring the guilt of bloodshed on your house if someone falls from the roof.
9 Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard; if you do, not only the crops you plant but also the fruit of the vineyard will be defiled.
10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
11 Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
12 Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.
And all this is even before getting to the stoning to death of adulterers or fathers being paid fifty shekels by slanderers for having proved that their daughters are virgins after all.
Crossdressing was a salient feature of many religious rites and practices in cultures from which the Isralites sought to distinguish and distance themselves. In many parts of the world, it still is even today.
If you follow Mosaic law, be sure not to crossdress, sure, but take pains not to wear mixed fabric garments nor cultivate mixed seed gardens, either.
