Wouldn’t this count as traps

Wouldn’t this count as traps

1) Trap carries the connotation of being done to deceive (and thus "entrap" straight men). I'd wager most cross-dressers aren't doing it for that reason.

2) Young, pretty boys aren't the only ones who cross-dress.

Also have "reverse trap" that is when a girl dresses as a boy. Strangely also serves to "entrap" straight men. At least I don't remember any Yuri series with reverse trap. Not really my cup of tea. So I can't tell.

I don't think Flower Flower is reverse trap because the misunderstanding was caused by the ignorance that Nina of Adingala had in relation to the costumes and clothes of the other kingdom.

"Trap" as an Anime/Manga literary term is not meant to be taken that literally. A Trap is any character we are told was assigned male at birth even though they are clearly drawn the way way you'd draw any other flat chested girl. The vast majority of characters the term was coined to describe are not intentionally deceiving anyone in the actual text of the story.
