It seems to me that the whole idea of cross dressing comes from the idea that men and women have to wear different clothes, due to having a gender identity. If you let go of the idea of gender identity altogether, then clothes don't have to be gendered at all, and thus "cross dressing" is kind of a misnomer.

Obviously some clothes are tailored for female figures (e.g. bigger around the hips, bust etc) and some clothes are tailored for male figures (more straight up and down cuts, and generally somewhat larger) but other than that, I don't see clothes as being for men or women. I'm a natal woman and regularly shop from both the male and female sections in stores, and will buy men's clothes as long as they fit me. I don't see it as crossdressing - I just wear what I like. Sure, it's fun and freeing, but has no erotic vibe to me.
