| − | '''Cross-dressing'''can be s a form of [[gender confusion]]. It involves dressing up in the clothing and accessories of the opposite gender by people who follow a homosexual, or transverse life-style. The majority of crossdressers are men, though there are women who dress and behave in an ostentatiously masculine way. Examples of cross dressing include carrying an item of the opposite sex, smoking a pipe, or wearing a tie, putting on make-up a lipstick, shaving the entire body, as well as padded bras, and wigs, which is called passing, by crossdressers and transsexuals. | + | '''Cross-dressing'''can be a form of [[gender confusion]].

| | Crossdressing may be an indicator of [[gender confusion]] or a fetish, though not in the case of [[pantomime]], or [[mummering]]. Also in earlier times women were not allowed to act in plays, so that women's parts were taken by men or boys. It is considered a psychiatric disorder (fetishistic transvestism), by conservative Christians, Muslims, etc. Some brave, strong individuals resist cross-dressing, contrary to the common view that this is not possible. They are merely trying to excuse their behaviour. It is possible to resist it, contrary to what those, who have fallen into sin, say. | | Crossdressing may be an indicator of [[gender confusion]] or a fetish, though not in the case of [[pantomime]], or [[mummering]].
