I definitely Do! That’s why I never consider myself trans, or even think of Transitioning. For 20 years I worked as a costumed 19th Century Historical interpreter at our 19 century restored village in upstart NY, largest in the state and third largest after Williamsburg Va. and Greenfield Village. I dressed as a printer circa 1850 and I just loved wearing the historic clothing of yesteryear. White baggy shirt , canvas high ruse trousers, suspenders, vest, frock coat and top hat, Made me feel like a million bucks💵. Also, enjoy doing gritty outdoor yard puttering, and basement workshop chores as a guy,Any others feel the same ?
No!!! I never have, and I've never even remotely enjoyed wearing male clothing. I knew when I was three/four years old that I was supposed to be a girl. I am transgender, a trans woman, and I have transitioned to live as the person I know I was born as, and now legally a female.

Not really. All my life, I thought men's clothing was very boring, not much variety. I always found women had so many other options for how they dress and what looks great!
In general, I would say that I prefer feminine attire over masculine attire. However, that is a qualified statement.
For casual wear, I find feminine attire more attractive, and available in greater options of style and color. I have also found that women's jeans and shorts basically fit me better than the men's jeans and shorts.
For more formal wear, I cannot say that I prefer feminine attire over masculine attire or vice verse. I have had limited opportunity to dress to the nines femininely, but one those few occassions, I love how wearing an elegant dress and heels makes me feel. Yet, I absolutely love how I look in formal masculine attire (suit and tie) especially with my beautiful wife on my arm. I would not trade those moments for anything. I also cannot describe the look of adoration that my wife gives me when I am dressed to the nines as her husband.
So in conclusion, I simply prefer to wear the clothes (both feminine and masculine) that are most me for the moment.

I do prefer wearing male clothing when doing rough work in the yard or doing some project but always under dressed with panties and most times with a bra. Wife says I look great in a suit but I hate suits.

I think there's very little that a determined 'male' (or 'female') can't do that the opposite sex can. For sure, size and strength matter in events like Ironman races, and no genetic woman is ever going to beat the top male finisher's time. But that doesn't mean she can't beat most of the men, and in some sports, females achieve truly outstanding results.
Think Lynn Hill. Not only is she "legendary". She's a gracious, generous human being who's fun to climb with, as my nephew reports. So, rather than "enjoying being a male", I'm just thankful to be alive, and I try to make good use of whatever the gods of genetic randomness gifted (or cursed me) with.
As for 'male' vs 'female' clothing, that's a whole 'nother matter, and now that I'm getting pretty serious about this cross-dressing stuff, I can't believe how sexualized women's clothing is.
Take a simple thing like a tee shirt and its neckline. Why are women's tee shirts so often shaped to show cleavage? Same-same with pants. They aren't just tailored to accommodate the typical differences between male and female bodies. They're often tailored to suggest sexual availability.
Frankly, I'm horrified. Hence, my preference for the 'tomboy' look that emphasizes 'comfort' and 'practicality' (and de-emphasizes 'sexuality'). Besides, can the trout really tell whether you're wearing waders and boots meant for women versus men? Or does wearing a bra or not mean you can you can lay out another 10' or 20' feet of fly line to reach that rising fish?
Generally speaking, I can't say I enjoy male clothing, other then the occasional suit (with bra, panties, garters and stockings underneath. Male attire is generally functional, while female clothing is meant to be more visually appealing. One can say it sexualizes women, but what it is meant to do is show off and emphasise the female form. Women have plenty of non-enhancing options, but most prefer the showy things, hence the low neck line tees. It is why many of use wear it. Face it, if we had boobs and could show them off we would, and do.
As for period clothing, yeah that sounds fun, but so does wearing a Victorian dress with lots of lace and ruffles.
Having lived a life in mostly male mode there are occasions where I will wear casual garb to follow pursuits I have enjoyed all my life. I am not upset as that's the way it goes there are vestiges of me that I cannot give up. I do not feel any different and it fits nicely with my lifestyle.
Can't say I do. Male clothing feels like a disguise.
I have no problem at all with wearing male attire outside of my home and at work, as I'm a private dresser and have plenty of opportunities to wear what I like indoors. The masculine part of my wardrobe also works out a lot cheaper too. Drab me is all t-shirts, jeans, and boots, while Amy wants whatever new dress or lingerie set she sees online! It's a pity there's only one credit card for the both of us. x
I have no problem wearing male clothing, and I do not deny being a male.
That being said, like so many of us, I do crave my time taking on the female gender and wearing female clothing and playing the female role. I greatly enjoy being a girl!
My lifelong pattern has always been consistent. I prefer female clothing to male clothing, but I also know when I need a break from wearing female clothing. After wearing female clothing for a set period (one or more days) I need to get back into male clothing, but as soon as I do, I begin thinking about my next female outfit and how soon can I get into it! Once I am in female clothing, things feel "normal."
I love my female clothing! Whereas, I view my male clothing as just a few necessary items that I must keep in the home for required situations.
Since coming out as a cross dresser my underwear drawer is now void of male underwear. One side is for my different styles and colored panties and the other side for my growing inventory of colored bras.
I am completely comfortable dressing as a male when I have to but if there is a chance I might have to remove my clothes ie: Doctors then I wear black or white cotton panties.
When I am in the privacy of my house probably 60/40 female and at times much higher percentage. I feel much more comfortable dressed female because it makes me feel that more at ease as female.
I will always be male and no way Trans as it is too late in life. 50 years younger now might have been a different story because of the changing outlook on life styles now.

A look through my "male" clothing closet will attest to the fact that I have zero interest in male fashion. Remarkably, I am so very focused on women's clothing what I have liked for as long as I have been a CD and, more recently, what I would love to try that is more adventurous in terms of style and/or color. This is why my first stop after signing into CD Heaven is to look at the featured protos for the day and what my sisters are wearing.
I dont "enjoy" male clothing at all.
I find male underwear disgusting.
However I hold a high profile position socially and I volunteer work with various charities and one very good youth group, so I will always keep some male items so I can present well.
Typically I wear female clothing, women's jeans, blouses that pass as unisex (but buttoned on the female side, women's boots, women's socks or tights etc.
Male clothing is something I tolerate when I absolutely must.
On those occasions I tear it off of my body seconds after returning home.
