Crossdressing: dressing like the opposites
Even now, outside and within the LGBT+ community, Gay Crossdressing is often seen as taboo. It’s increasingly common for women to wear men’s clothes. But if men opt for female attire, they risk being dismissed as some form of a deviant. Myths abound. Chief of these is that most crossdressers are straight men. But Gay Crossdressing is far more popular than many realise.
What's the difference between Gay Crossdressing and being Trans?
Crossdressers are not necessarily trans. The two terms are far too frequently confused. It’s important to understand the definitions.
A trans person doesn’t identify with the sex they were assigned at birth. Trans is also an umbrella term. And it includes non-binary and genderqueer people. Read more about the Trans tribe here.
What does the history of crossdressing look like?
As far back as Ancient Greece, men played females in theatre. The tradition continued in English Renaissance drama and Japanese Kabuki theatre.
And then you have English music halls and Hollywood movies. Even Charlie Chaplin popped down to the studio cross dressing shop.
The rich cultural history of gay drag culture can be traced back to Shakespeare. And be brought right up to date with mainstream shows like RuPaul’s Drag Race and Pose.
What can I find in a cross dressing shop?
From neat skirts and trim blouses to elegant evening wear, there’s a cross dressing shop to cater to your taste.
Some gay guys might be into power dressing. Think Joan Collins in Dynasty. Others fancy vintage clothing. And then you have men who want to dress as femininely as possible. Perhaps they’ll opt for corsets, girdles and slinky numbers. That’s to say nothing of the wild and wonderful world of cosplay.
The key is finding the right cross dressing shop. Crucially, these establishments are judgment-free spaces, which allow you to fully explore your desires.
What's the relationship between Gay Crossdressing and sex?
Some men who are into Gay Crossdressing do it purely for fun and entertainment. For example, as drag. Others may have discovered the joys of female clothes when they were children. And it’s a passion they build throughout their lives. In private and public.
Additionally, you can explore a Gay Crossdressing fetish with a partner. Or even an entire group. Never feel limited by what society says. Remember that all clothing is drag. And you deserve to have a ball. Kick the fun off on Gays.com.
