Transvestitism is a form of expression where individuals clothe themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite gender. It involves sporting lingerie, which is often associated with femininity. This may include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and other types of frilly innerwear. Transvestis adopt this practice as a way to explore their individual sexual identity or for sexual stimulation. Participating in crossdressing lingerie may provide a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those participating.
