Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals clothe themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex. It includes donning lingerie, that is often associated with femininity. This may include panties, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly lingerie. Transvestites adopt this interest as a means to discover their own sexual identities or for sexual arousal. Involving in crossdressing lingerie may give a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those engaged.
