Transvestitism is a form of personal expression where individuals dress themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite gender. It encompasses sporting underwear, which is often associated with femininity. This may include panties, bras, corsets, stockings, and other types of frilly lingerie. Transvestis accept this practice as a means to discover their personal sexual identities or for sensual excitement. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie could provide a sense of autonomy and assertiveness for those involved.
