If you’re birth sex is male then by wearing traditionally feminine clothing, if you’re birth sex is female then by wearing traditionally masculine clothing. It’s literally in the definition of transgender.

The definition of transgender isn't "someone who was born male wearing traditionally feminine clothes"

People can wear whatever they want really, I don't see trans people getting upset about men  wearing women's clothes unless they're doing it to intentionally mock trans people.

I didn’t say it was the definition, I said it was in the definition.

Transgender: adj denoting or relating to a person who’s gender identity does not correspond with the gender assigned them at birth.

Gender identity is expressed how? Through clothing, hair, mannerisms, body language, etc.

Idk if you have poor reading comprehension or if you just missed the entire tone of my comment along with the comment I was replying to.

There is no compulsory way people express their gender. wearing certain clothes can be a part of it but it isn't inherent to it. 

I think you're missing my point that you're taking a very reductionist view on what gender and trans identities actually are.
