The word 'Transvestite' was derived from (Latin) trans-, "across, over" and vestere, "to dress or to wear". Therefore the meaning would be to 'dress across' gender lines. The word isn't specific to the male or female gender so it can be applied equally to either sex. So from a purely literal interpretation, a woman who is dressed in what is traditionally considered to be male attire is a transvestite just as much as is a man dressed in woman's.
It's important to note that the word is often misused and confused with the word transsexual. For this reason many people prefer to use the word 'crossdresser' since it doesn't carry the same connotations as the word 'transvestite'. Although it is most often associated with males, crossdressing is equally applicable to females just like transvestism is. Statistics indicate that approximately 10% of the male population crossdress on a regular basis to some extent, and that 90% of that 10% are totally heterosexual. Statistics on female crossdressers are more difficult to obtain since women have a great deal more liberty to dress in whatever way they prefer without the concern of being accused of being a crossdresser.

She, too, is a Transvestite! Women have been dressing as Transvestites for a few decades now. Just picture it, Jeans, Sneakers, a favorite tee shirt, and a baseball style hat. You see them EVERYWHERE. They are transvestites. The world is full of them. They just happen to be Female Transvestites. Just before the 1960's, women would not ever wear such things as Jeans (for men only), tee shirts (men only), baseball style caps (men only) We used to call this "tom boy" attire, but I assure you it IS and HAS ALWAYS BEEN, Transvestite Female Expression.

A man wearing lady's attire does NOT make him a
"transvestite" dear; so there is no answer to the last part of your question.
A "transvestite" is a person who has done more than just changed the gendre of their clothing! (ahem!)

it truly is extremely an age previous question, and a stereotype that has change into so ingrained into our "way of existence" that it's going to take a extreme shoehorn to pry it out. by the years, women human beings were taking on "adult men's fashions" and making it their own - relegating this stuff to being "taboo" to the adult men. From the male aspect, this is extremely an uphill conflict to have "male equality" contained in the kind global, because this is the kind of lady-ruled topic. all of it boils all the way down to the way you want to look. Are you pleased with the way you spot your self, and are you gentle? if so, then it truly is all that concerns. Granted a good number of clothing are shrink otherwise to intensify the common "lady ascertain", yet in case you may placed on them nicely, then there is no shame in making them your own. there's a lot stereotypical bashing going about (even right here), that it would want to in no way be heard obviously, yet those human beings favor to comprehend that tastes are replacing, and it truly is time to regulate with them.

In most cases, she's just a tomboy. If she goes to great lengths to look like a man, act like a man, and dress like a man, then she can be considered a Drag King.

Hi! I always wondered about that also! The Bible says not to dress as a woman if you are a man, but doesn't chastize women who dress manly. Double standard. Oh well-- I like being a woman dressed like a woman. See Ya!
