CROSSDRESSER

Men who wear women's clothing, often in a sexual context, for the purpose of arousing themselves or their partners. Crossdressing can involve partial or full dressing in feminine attire, and may also incorporate makeup, wigs, and other accessories to create a more convincing female appearance. The practice is often associated with fantasy, role-playing, and a desire to express a feminine aspect of one's personality, even if only temporarily. In some cases, crossdressing can be a means for individuals to explore their gender identity or to experience a sense of liberation from traditional masculine norms.
