Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals attire themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite gender. It involves wearing intimate apparel, that is often associated with femininity. This can include panties, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of delicate lingerie. Transvestites accept this practice as a way to uncover their personal gender identities or for erotic stimulation. Involving in crossdressing lingerie may give a sense of freedom and assertiveness for those involved.
