Transvestism is a form of self-expression where individuals dress themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. It encompasses donning lingerie, that is often associated with femininity. This can include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of frilly innerwear. Crossdressers accept this interest as a way to discover their individual sexual identity or for erotic excitement. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of freedom and assertiveness for those involved.
