It includes sporting underwear, that is typically associated with femininity. This may include thongs, bras, corsets, stockings, and various types of alluring undergarments. Transvestis accept this practice as a means to explore their personal gender identity or for sexual excitement. Participating in crossdressing lingerie could offer a sense of liberation and assertiveness for those involved.
