Transvestitism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in apparel typically associated with the opposite gender. It involves donning intimate apparel, that is typically associated with femininity. This can include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of frilly undergarments. Crossdressers accept this interest as a method to discover their individual gender identities or for sensual excitement. Involving in crossdressing lingerie may provide a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those involved.
