Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals attire themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex. It involves sporting underwear, that is usually associated with femininity. This can include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and other types of alluring undergarments. Crossdressers accept this interest as a way to discover their personal gender identities or for erotic stimulation. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those participating.
