that's really funny and kinda true!! i think that the women wear this long skirt with the same tartan wrapped around their shoulders when their guys where the kilt. i wear a kilt b/c it's fun, but you're right, i guess i'm a cross dresser!!!

IMHO, the social mores of women's clothing means they can wear almost any men's clothing and not be considered cross dressing. Suits, men's shirts, etc, are all acceptable. (There are exceptions, such women more or less living and acting as men). So, no, a women in a kilt, even identifying it as a kilt, is not cross dressing.

Just because OUR culture says that skirt-like and dress-like clothing is for women, while men can only wear pants, does NOT mean that this same assumption can be made in other cultures! Were all the Greek men who wore dress-like tunics cross-dressing? No! If a Greek woman wore a man's tunic, would she be cross-dressing? Yes!
Cross-dressing is determined by the standards of the culture it occurrs in. If your example is cross-cultural, perhaps you are asking, "Do we judge by the USA standards that it looks like a woman's skirt, or by the Scotland standards that is men's clothing?" I would say that it should be considered men's clothing because that's what it was designed to be in the culture it belongs to.
So, in short, Yes.

A longtime ago in Scotland maybe but not now. Length would also have made a difference then.
I am pretty sure you have just put a lot of speculation into peoples' heads about why so many guys think girls look hot in them (esp. the catholic school versions) though.

Of course not, but in NY she can now change her gender on her driver's license without going through costly surgery. What a progressive state we live in.

No, however they are usually referred to as a skirt when a woman wears it.
