Why does k d lang dress like a man?

Answer 1

k d lang dresses the way she does not only to reflect her sexuality, but because she says she feels like she is both male and female at the same time. See quotes below:

K.D. Lang, 47K.D. LANG'S STYLE: The Original Butch. Classic, dapper, sophisticated and eternal.

Ariel Levy says: "Never before had Americans seen female masculinity so overtly and unapologetically on display, and we couldn't take our eyes off it. The reason that notorious Herb Ritts cover of Vanity Fair with lang reclining in a tie in a barber's chair while a barely dressed Cindy Crawford shaved her face made such a splash, rendered some people so irate and others so aroused, was that it suggested that lang was the kind of woman who probably enjoyed doing all sorts of things with women that only men are supposed to get to do. And that there were women who wanted her to." (New York Magazine)

K.D. Lang says: "I don't feel like a woman, and I don't feel like a man; I feel like both, simultaneously. Suits help me achieve some kind of balance, because I have a very voluptous, womanly shaped body -- a Botticelli sort of body -- and I have a mind and an emotional self somewhere in the middle."

KD Lang's Favorite Designers: Miuccia Prada, Richard Tyler, Helmut Lang, Gaultier. "To me, some of the Japenese designers are more at, and I hate to use this word because it's been abused, the androgynous centre of fashion -- you know, where it's just this kind of beautiful clothing."
