Crossdressers are probably as misunderstood in our society as are transsexuals. But crossdressers are not transsexuals, nor are they drag queens. Instead, they are (usually) heterosexual men who dress in what society considers "female" clothing and take on a female appearance in order to express a feminine side of their personality.

Crossdressers may dress as female occasionally or frequently. Most crossdressers maintain a male gender identity and have no desire to make physical changes. But crossdressing is often misunderstood and crossdressers are often discriminated against.
