Transvestism is the practice of dressing in a manner traditionally or stereotypically associated with a different gender.
The terms transvestism and transvestite were coined by Magnus Hirschfeld in 1910. In the early 20th century, transvestite referred to cross-dressers, and also a variety of people who would now be considered transgender.
The term transvestite is now considered outdated and derogatory, and has been replaced with the more neutral word cross-dresser.[1]
