I whole-heartedly agree.

In the very first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, we see male crossdressing crew members
I hate that a man wearing a dress is considered crossdressing. Actually I hate that the term exists at all. Oh, to live in a world where people worse whatever they wanted and nobody gave a shit. Yes, I get that was the point of it being in the show. Just let me bitch and complain.

For real. It’s a skant, you philistines. It was the height of fashion and one of the officially accepted versions of the Starfleet crewman duty uniform as of 2364.

At the time, I didn’t even think of that outfit as “crossdressing” - it just looked like they were trying to say styles had changed.
agreed. And tunics are gender neutral. Dresses are just mislabeled tunics.

Tunics and dresses are not the same. There is some overlap with the simpler dresses, yes but for one tunics hang on the shoulder while dresses don’t necessarily.
Ah yes, I heard that theory about shoulderless tunics.
More seriously, dresses are a European middle-age evolution of the tunic for fashionable noblewomen. The whole gender-specific is kind of built in the concept of the word.
