5 A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.
This verse commands men and women not to reverse their sexual roles. It is not a statement about clothing styles. Today, role rejections are common. There are men who want to be women and women who want to be men. It is not the clothing style that offends God, it is the use of the style to act out a different sex role. God had a purpose for making us uniquely male and female. If there is a struggle with this, ask the Holy Spirit for help, confide all your feelings to God, and look to Jesus Christ as your model. God already knows our struggles, but he wants us to include him and tell him about our feelings and struggles. He will help you find a way through. Recognize and confess your sin. Ask for forgiveness. Change your behavior.
