A cross-dresser is a person who wears clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. This practice can be motivated by various reasons, including personal expression, comfort, or performance. Cross-dressing is not limited to any specific gender identity; individuals of all genders may engage in it. It is important to note that cross-dressing is distinct from being transgender. While some cross-dressers may identify as transgender, many do not. Cross-dressing can be a form of self-expression and is often seen in contexts such as drag shows or theatrical performances, where individuals showcase their creativity and challenge traditional gender norms.
