Transvestitism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite sex. It encompasses wearing intimate apparel, that is usually associated with femininity. This may include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and other types of frilly innerwear. Transvestis accept this hobby as a means to discover their personal gender identity or for sensual arousal. Involving in crossdressing lingerie could give a sense of autonomy and empowerment for those participating.
