Cross-dressing, you are doing it wrong!

dangermousieI randomly skimmed the drama version of Butterfly Lovers (which I am not watching. Not even my Peter Ho obsesion can make me watch a 40 ep drama about scholars, especially when it's partially subbed and those partial subs are very Engrishy) and to my total shock, this is BL's idea of a woman successfully cross-dressing as a man:
Did I mention she's also barely 5ft tall, doesn't seem to have bound her breasts and didn't bother lowering her voice? And yet somehow every man in 100mi radius is fooled, including Peter Ho - he is supposed to be a genius scholar but if he can't tell this is a woman, I think he has severe mental and developmental problems.
Not putting on lipstick apparently automatically makes you a man. I've been a man most of my life it seems, horrors!
Ah, so much fail.
