[Avodah] women and tefillin

[Hankman]

First a note: In my previous post, I did not mean to imply that shechita is 
in the group of mitsvos that nashim are patur due to zeman grama, just that 
they do not practice shechita like men do. I imagine most understood me in 
that vein.

Assuming it's something about one's appearance, no?

CM responds:

Why? Tsitsis that are not exposed have nothing to do with your appearance 
either (but pulling out white hairs does).

Then you wil have to choose side between RMS and RMYG  on the issue of the 
application of simlas isha to the hidden from view.

Personally (prior to further research in sifrei halacha to determine the 
issue), I would go with RMYG on this. I find it difficult to imagine that a 
cross-dresser who restricts himself to feminine lingerie under his usual 
clothes is not oveir simlas isha.
