Transvestism is a form of personal expression where individuals clothe themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. It includes wearing underwear, that is typically associated with femininity. This could include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of delicate lingerie. Transvestis accept this practice as a way to discover their individual gender identities or for sexual arousal. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie can give a sense of freedom and empowerment for those engaged.
