When I was 3 days old my Mom had a picture taken of me in some kind of dress looking thing.
It was white I guess because the picture is black and white.
I guess it was a thing back in the stone ages.
I haven't worn a dress since then.

I went to my lesbian ex wife's house to make tamales. She had 4 of her butch girlfriends there. Since i was already uncomfortable, i put on a Hawaiian moo moo to level the playing field! 
My favorite dress was light blue. I have seen the photos. Damn it is hard to be a "Manly man" in a dress.
AND WE NEED PICTURES!!

Heck no. Real men don't wear women's clothing.
OK, I'll confess. It was on our wedding day. I was chasing my bride to be around the house wearing only one of her tiny thongs on my head, when her parents walked in the house. Her parents weren't very impressed with me.

Breeching Tradition:
- Until the early 20th century, young boys in the Western world wore gowns or dresses until an age that varied between two and eight years old.
- This practice, known as “breeching,” marked a significant rite of passage for boys, signifying their transition from childhood to boyhood or manhood23.
- The patriarchal system of the Victorian era strictly defined gender roles, but young children were often left out of these rigid norms.
- Up until the age of seven, gender was apparently not something parents paid much attention to. Boys and
- girls wore nearly identical clothes, indistinguishable from each other.
- Even some of the most famous individuals of the 20th century, including Ernest Hemingway and Franklin D. Roosevelt, had their pictures taken wearing white skirts that were considered gender-neutral for the time period4
I wear tunics fairly often. I guess some people could call those dresses....although I wouldn't.
Right. The very act of putting on pants made you a man apparently
No we do not.AND WE NEED PICTURES!!
We have a reasonable amount of Scotts here so do see fellas in kilts on occasion but guys in dresses are typically in their 20s and attending one of the local colleges.
The pictures exist, I have no idea who in the family has them. I have no memory of it, but I remember the horror when looking at a family album and asking my mother who the girl was in the photo, and she it was me. My next younger brother is about 14 months younger. There is a photo of both of us in dresses. So, my wild guess is they dressed me in dresses till I was a bit over two years old.AND WE NEED PICTURES!!
My mother consoled me saying that was common in the 40's.
I noticed many of my clients who are senior men have pictures of them as toddlers wearing dresses in pictures! It was very common! I'm really into the history of my area and a lot of the pictures of little boys in the early 1900's show them in dresses.
I remember when they were not called pants or trousers, they were called "Britches".
I was often told to pull-up my britches.
Or don't be acting too big for your britches.

One of the earliest depictions of the kilt is this German print showing Highlanders around 1630

I always wondering of the whole breeching thing was where all the common phrases like "pull up your pants" and "who wears the pants" and all those came from.
Children ≠ men, so no worries about your mama putting you in a gown, still a pretty common practice.
I suspect poverty was a factor to some degree. My father was one of 16 children. (It might have been 15 children). If you're going to have a lot of children, and if there were few if any store-bought clothes, it makes economic prudence to dress all the children in dresses till some age. Maybe the start of school.

Leather Britches Green Beans (200-Year-Old Preservation Method)
Leather Britches green beans are something my grandmother would make during the Great Depression and World War II eras. They’ve been around for hundreds of years and were a popular form of preservation before people learned how to can green beans.https://melissaknorris.com/leather-britches-green-beans/
No dresses' for me. I stop wearing shorts at twelve years old, shorts are for swimming & sleeping.
Jeans & Khakis, BTU's, dress pants.
The pants i wore when i was a motorcycle cop were called "britches." They had a zipper at the ankle to fit tightly into our motor boots, and the butt portion was padded in case we fell. They were also thick, wool material, that one would sweat profusely in the summer heat, sitting on top of a 200⁰ engine.
Dresses doesn't mean anything in itself. Its just clothing, a simple practical design.
At some point it became gendered...but that is completely artificial.
All that matters is the WHY......if you where a dress because that made sense....then it makes sense....if you where a dress because you want to be a girl and you are not a girl.....that is something else.
No different than women wearing pants...90% of of women here wear jeans....and I'd bet 99% of them still think they are women.

What does the Bible say about cross dressing? I don’t remember that.
I think it was easier to put toddlers of any gender in dresses for potty training purposes. All my children wore baptismal gowns when baptized. They were about 2 months old.
My version is a wee bit different, but the same result. "My great grand father came across a fella one day who said to him Nice dress MaC*****, so my great grandfather Kilt him<in my Best Scottish accent> Because if yeu were any sort of Enemy of Scotland, and a Highlander chanced upon ya.. Yeu were Most Likeley gonna get kil't.
