Cross-dressing is the act of wearing the clothing of another gender for any reason. The usage of the term, the types of cross-dressing both in modern times and throughout history, an analysis of the behaviour, and historical examples are discussed in the article below.
Contrary to widespread societal views and prejudices associated with
cross-dressing, many people who cross-dress do not do so for sexual or
fetishist reasons. Similarly, although cross-dressing is one type of
transgender behavior, not all cross-dressing is caused by
Transgender feelings or identity.See Also
