Transvestitism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in apparel typically associated with the opposite sex. It includes donning lingerie, that is often associated with femininity. This may include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and other types of frilly lingerie.
Crossdressers accept this interest as a method to explore their personal sexual identity
or for sexual arousal. Involving in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of autonomy and empowerment for those participating.
