Crossdresser
Crossdresser is a person who wears clothing traditionally associated with the opposite gender. The term usually refers to men who dress in women's clothing, although it can apply to any gender. Crossdressing may be done for personal expression, entertainment, fetish interests or social reasons.
Crossdressing is different from being transsexual or transgender. Many crossdressers identify as male and do not seek gender transition. Others may explore gender identity through crossdressing before deciding whether they identify as transgender.
Crossdressers are sometimes present in nightlife scenes connected with prostitution, escort services and adult entertainment venues. Online communities and dating platforms have also played a role in connecting crossdressers internationally.
Websites such as TS-Dating host large communities where crossdressers, transwomen and admirers can create profiles and communicate.
