We still have a pardigm gap.

Simlas ishah can be violated by dying one's hair, plucking, etc.. It is
not an issur cheftzah.

Wearing tzitzis, when such is only done by men, could well be a violation
of keli gever. I said nothing about the cloak in that statement.

: And what about a man; i.e., could a man wear this cloak that has tzitzit
: on it, or could no one wear it?

Perhaps no one.

He can't wear the cloak, she can't wear the tzitzis.
