Oh those macho manly men itt, completely forgot woman wore pants long before pyramids were built... also it was high in style to wear high heels just 18th century by every respected dude... also, also, frills everywhere in 16th to 17th century on guys was op move.
Actually, we should get back to good ol'days, people would go apeshit.
They also seem to forget that drawing in a particular style comes with limitations, and we can't expect an artist to be able to translate every bit of realistic physical nuance in a monotone, stroke-based, highly stylized drawing... That's why in some manga styles, passable cross-dressing is super easy to do, both ways.
Most artists like to work around this limitation by exaggerating women's features, often times to a fault (as they all end up with the same body type and impossible clothes), and way too many readers seem to be very used to it. Therefore, when someone dares to approach it differently, they get very "confused".
