Transvestism is a form of self-expression where individuals dress themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. It involves wearing intimate apparel, which is typically associated with femininity. This may include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of delicate lingerie. Transvestites accept this hobby as a means to explore their own gender identities or for erotic arousal. Participating in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of freedom and confidence for those involved.
