Transvestism is a form of self-expression where individuals dress themselves in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex. It includes donning underwear, which is usually associated with femininity. This may include briefs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of frilly lingerie. Transvestis embrace this interest as a way to explore their personal sexual identities or for sensual arousal. Engaging in crossdressing lingerie can provide a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those engaged.
