The act of '''cross dressing''' consists of dressing up in [[clothing]] and accessories typically associated with the [[gender]] opposite that of the person cross dressing. In many cases there is ambiguity on what exactly constitutes cross dressing. The majority of crossdressers are men. This may merely be that women dressed in casual mens clothing are less apparent, and they are allowed to do so without much judgement, in contrast to male crossdressers. It is unfair, as God has decreed that cross-dressing at all is a sin.

Mild examples may be carrying an item of the opposite sex, like a lipstick or hanky while major examples would include shaving of arms and legs as well as padded bras and makeup and wigs to appear as a member of the opposite sex, which is called passing, a term often used by crossdressers and transsexuals.

Cross-dressing (also known as 'drag') has been associated with the [[theater]] for hundreds of years. In [[Shakespeare]]'s [[England]], women were not allowed to appear on stage, so female roles were played by boys dressed in women's costume. In [[Spanish]] theater at the same time, women were allowed to perform, and the plots of playwrights such as [[Tirso de Molina]] and [[Lope de Vega]] often called for female characters to disguise themselves as men, particularly in [[comedy|comedies]].

In the present day, cross-dressing is still a feature of some traditional theatrical forms such as [[pantomime]], where dames are played by men in exaggerated female costume<ref>[http://www.its-behind-you.com/pantodames.html Pantomime Dames]</ref> and leading male roles are often played by women as well (eg the eponymous hero in ''[[Dick Whittington]]'').
