^^@{{DragonQuestZ}} - It's not always out of necessity. There are instances where the female in question is perfectly capable of defending themselves, yet the crossdresser may insist on acting as the bait, for any number of reasons.

*It could be due to a chivalric code, where they feel a woman shouldn't be placed at risk, regardless of their capability. The female may even insist she can take care of herself and [[LampshadeHanging point out]] that the crossdressing male is being ridiculous, since a real woman makes better bait, than a guy in drag; only to be ignored, because the guy insists on protecting them.

*It could also be that the volunteer crossdresser may [[LoveInterest habor feelings]] for her, thus, the idea of some guy mugging, or possibly taking advantage of them, doesn't sit well with the crossdresser. So they [[IWillProtectHer take upon themselves]] to be the bait, instead of placing her at risk.

*Or, maybe the guy gets roped into it, like in the [[FinalFantasyVII FFVII example.]] Sure, there's a female on hand that could be the bait but, for whatever reason, they think [[RuleOfFunny it'd be more fun]] to have a guy do it instead. In which case, crossdressing would be seen as unnecessary; especially since the guy's being used more as a ButtMonkey, than actual bait.

*Or the woman may simply refuse to do it, leaving the crossdresser no alternative but to do it themselves. Even in this case, it's still unnecessary.
**The situation calls for a female victim, there's a female present who can play the part and may be capable of fending for themselves, yet they won't do it. The perv, mugger, or whoever can't be allowed to run free, so rather than waste time arguing with an uncooperative partner, the guy might figure, "fuck it", and decide to take care of it themselves.

That's at least four scenario's where crossdressing can be seen as unnecessary. Yet, the guy still does it.
