Transvestitism is a form of personal expression where individuals clothe themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex. It includes donning lingerie, that is typically associated with femininity. This could include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly undergarments. Transvestites embrace this interest as a means to explore their own sexual identities or for erotic excitement. Participating in crossdressing lingerie could give a sense of liberation and empowerment for those participating.
