Definition and Lables

Search the internet…. You’ll find definitions of Crossdressing, Transvestism Transexualism etc but they still don’t explain “Why men Crossdress” and don’t cover all men who Crossdress to different degrees.

Transvestite - A person who Crossdresses. Ie Anyone who wears clothing that is usually associated with the opposite sex could be called a transvestite.

The word comes from Latin “Trans” = across, and “Vesta” = clothing so it really means Crossdressing.

Also, do women consider themselves a Transvestite when wearing what is deemed as masculine clothing? The answer is No

The word Transvestite seems to stir a negative connotation in peoples minds when someone is described as a Transvestite or a “Tranny”.

Crossdressing describes the actions more clearly to the Latin and according to society views on one form of clothing and look belonging to a man and another to a woman.

I think T-Girl, a more modern word covers others who not only “Crossdress” but put on makeup and a Wig and try to look convincing as a woman?
