Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in apparel typically associated with the opposite gender. It includes donning intimate apparel, that is often associated with femininity. This could include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly lingerie. Crossdressers embrace this interest as a way to uncover their personal sexual identity or for sexual arousal. Involving in crossdressing lingerie may give a sense of liberation and empowerment for those involved.
