Given the recent discourse surrounding Madison Cawthorn; specifically, the photos of him wearing "women's lingerie", I'm curious where the winds are blowing with respect to crossdressing from a trans and/or queer perspective. For the record, I don't think Madison Cawthorn is a crossdresser, and if I were to guess, he probably views the "controversial" photo as part of an ironic joke at the expense of queer people in general.

Specifically, where does crossdressing fit with regards to trans identity, or queerness in general?

There's a term called "gender nonconforming" or GNC that I think would be really helpful down this line. As someone who crossdresses themselves, stopping at "kink or hobby" seems a bit too early while going to "somewhere in the space of being trans" seems like stepping into a region that's not really me. That's definitely not to undersell the kink aspect of things, because there's a validity there, but it goes deeper than that? I feel like GNC as an identity term is helpful down that front as a way to sorta provide a fourth option there. I'm not going to claim that wanting to wear dresses is my gender identity, but it's a part of me and my queerness, y'know? Separate category. This is, of course, sorta focused down on my experience and isn't trying to be a singular statement on things, just a personal sorta lens on this stuff.
