Transvestism is a form of expression where individuals attire themselves in garments typically associated with the opposite sex. It involves sporting underwear, that is typically associated with femininity. This could include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and additional types of frilly lingerie. Crossdressers adopt this practice as a means to uncover their individual sexual identity or for sensual arousal. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie could give a sense of autonomy and empowerment for those participating.
