It has gotten easier in some parts of various countries but not everywhere.A good friend of mine (obviously male) lives a bit north of London in the UK. He is known to wear skirts whilst shopping and scurrying about town without trouble at all. Of course there are a few that might ask questions, but that's the extent of it.
If he were to do the same in my neck of the woods he would surely be met with many harsh remarks (I have seen examples here in Texas).
I am quite lucky that I pass quite well myself, but I have seen others that can't pass being verbally assaulted on several occasions.
The US is a very conservative country with lingering 'puritan' values. Of course that's changing in some states and cities, but for the most part still rings true, especially in the south and rural areas.
Truth be known, trousers were initially designed for women, and it wasn't that long ago that everyone wore robes. I find it quite funny that people will quote the bible when condemning someone about their clothes choices when men and women wore the same robes back in biblical times. The difference was the head covering.
The prohibitions against wearing clothes of the opposite gender in the bible could only be about 'cross contamination'. Remember that menstrual cycles rendered a person unclean as did discharges in males.
