Crossdressing

Crossdressing (alternatively spelt as cross-dressing) is the act of wearing items of clothing that differs from clothing that society would assume to be specific to the opposite gender. Crossdressing has been used for purposes of disguise, comfort, comedy, and self-expression in modern times and throughout history. Almost every human society throughout history has had expected norms for each gender relating to style, color, or type of clothing they are expected to wear, and likewise most societies have had a set of guidelines, views or even laws defining what type of clothing is appropriate for each gender.
The term cross-dressing refers to an act or behavior without specifying or implying specific causes for that behavior. Cross-dressing is not synonymous with being transgender.
