What shall I do with this word - "Wear"?

The WORD got it right, in fact even in our day and age we see men dressing up like women and vise versa.

The bible also warns of cutting themselves like the pagans did. Offering sons and daughters in fire to Molech like the pagans did. The Pagans didn't have a problem with blurring the distinction in sexes and that blurring was related to demonic worship it seems by what you are saying (Pagans did not worship God), so why wouldn't it make sense to you?

Prax,
You are contradicting what you supported - vehemently - I might add.

As the property of a neighbour was to be sacred in the estimation of an Israelite, so also the divine distinction of the sexes, which was kept sacred in civil life by the clothing peculiar to each sex, was to be not less but even more sacredly observed. “There shall not be man's things upon a woman, and a man shall not put on a woman's clothes.” כּלי does not signify clothing merely, nor arms only, but includes every kind of domestic and other utensils (as in Exo_22:6; Lev_11:32; Lev_13:49). The immediate design of this prohibition was not to prevent licentiousness, or to oppose idolatrous practices (the proofs which Spencer has adduced of the existence of such usages among heathen nations are very far-fetched); but to maintain the sanctity of that distinction of the sexes which was established by the creation of man and woman, and in relation to which Israel was not to sin. Every violation or wiping out of this distinction - such even, for example, as the emancipation of a woman - was unnatural, and therefore an abomination in the sight of God.
