Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite sex. It involves sporting underwear, which is typically associated with femininity. This could include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly undergarments. Transvestites accept this hobby as a way to explore their personal sexual identities or for erotic arousal. Participating in crossdressing lingerie may offer a sense of liberation and empowerment for those participating.
