It’s a new phenomena. It’s pretty much the younger people who get offended by it, because they do not understand the history of drag and treat it like it has always been some type of “black face” against transgender identities. The whole thing has gotten to the point that even pride parades are discouraged from using drag now.
 
Context doesn’t seem to matter anymore in social justice.

That’s honestly what baffles me most about the whole “controversy”. The episode doesn’t really reflect on trans stuff because it’s clear that Big Macintosh is only cross-dressing in the first place for the sake of the disguise, not because he’s trying to express himself.
 
In general, it just strikes me as strange when people conflate ‘‘any’’ instance of cross-dressing with transgender topics, even in cases where the person doing the cross-dressing identifies as their physical gender and only does it for practical reasons (i.e. a disguise).

As another Tumblrite I totally understand and agree. Even before it aired I saw it as just a big brother wanting to make his little sister happy when she’s upset.

Unfortunately it’s only one it’s applied to. Like how they’ll insist the gems are race and/or gender-coded (for muh representation and anti-white agenda, or how THE SHOW IS FOR WOMEN AND NONBINARIES ONLY AND WE’LL TAKE MLP TOO I guess) when the creator flat-out says in a Reddit AMA it’s an intentioal gray area and that they’re alien shapeshifting space rocks.
 
Thankfully it’s another case of a vocal monority.
 
…Right?

Eh, I’m a Tumblrite (with the typical liberal worldview you’d expect) who was just fine with this episode and found it really heartwarming.
 
Big Mac was crossdressing, but still clearly identifies as male. This wasn’t a trans-bashing thing, I’m not going to pretend it was.

The way I understand it is this:
 
  • Crossdressing: Person of one gender dressing up in clothes generally only word by the other gender
     
  • Transvestite: Someone who identifies as one gender who enjoys dressing up as a member of the other gender, without identifying as such (i.e. a man who dresses up as a woman, but still identifies as male
     
  • Transgender: Someone who is biologically one gender, but identifies as the other (i.e. someone who is biologically male but identifies female)
     
    Big Mac only falls under the first. He’s not transgender because he still identifies as male, and he’s not a transvestite because he’s only dressing as a mare as part of a disguise, not because he enjoys doing so.

So being trans mean being a transvestite or transexual? And what is a difference between them? One is being mentally a female while other is just having a fahion preferences of a female?

From what I’m getting from a quick Google search, yes, crossdressing is a fetish.  
Being trans is related to having a condition called gender dysphoria, a disorder where someone feels like they’re the opposite gender then what they were born as.

iS crossdressing and trasvestitism related to sexual fantasies(fetish) or to a personal identity?

Tumblr didn’t get all that offended when Steven did it, but many made a headcanon that Steven is trans and will call anyone transphobic if they disagree with it. Even when the creators of SU have said that Steven is not trans, they still think Steven is somehow trans representation before and after that episode.
 
In reality, their headcanons are even more offensive because they equate transness to just crossdressing.
