Transvestism is a form of self-expression where individuals clothe themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. It involves sporting intimate apparel, which is often associated with femininity. This may include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly innerwear. Transvestis accept this practice as a way to discover their individual gender identities or for sensual arousal. Involving in crossdressing lingerie may provide a sense of liberation and empowerment for those involved.
