Transvestitism is a form
of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in apparel typically associated with the opposite sex. It includes donning underwear, that is typically associated with femininity. This can include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly innerwear. Crossdressers adopt this practice as a way to uncover their personal sexual identity or for sexual arousal. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of freedom and empowerment for those participating.
