A '''Transvestite''' (or '''cross-dresser''') describes someone who intentionally chooses to [[Gender expression|wear clothes]] that are associated with a [[gender identity]] or [[sex]] different (often opposite) to their own. Common examples include someone who is [[Assigned Sex|AMAB]] that dresses in [[feminine]] clothes, or a [[woman]] that predominantly wears [[masculine]] clothing. It also includes dressing [[Androgyny|androgynously]] and wearing both "men's" and "women's" clothes.<ref>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvestism</ref><ref>https://dictionary.cambridge.org/es/diccionario/ingles/transvestite</ref><ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transvestite</ref><ref>https://www.dictionary.com/browse/transvestite</ref><br />

== History ==<br />
In the modern day, most transvestites are not [[transgender]] and do not want to [[transition]]. However, the concept of transvestites pre-dates widespread use of the term transgender, so in the past cross-dressing (particularly drag) was seen as a way for transgender people to express their identity. In these times, the two terms were often used interchangeably.<br />
<br />
Transvestite may be viewed as a reclaimed identity, as it is often used in a derogatory manner to discriminate [[transgender]] individuals. It is important to ask permission from someone before using this term to refer to them, due to the commonly [[Transphobia|transphobic]] connotations that come along with it.<br />
