What type of crossdresser are you?

b) In light entertainment: female impersonators/comedians; pantomime dames in British theatre.

7) Transsexuals – for many of them the cross-dressing is merely an incidental stage in their transition of identity. Once achieved, the wearing of the clothes of the other sex becomes the norm, and can no longer be called crossdressing.

5) Other professionals: the occasional spy/undercover policeman/criminal in disguise. Gay prostitutes.

How much stronger is an average man than an average woman?

c) Drag queens and Drag kings – an exaggerated satirical sub-section of the light entertainment field.

A crossdresser is any person who wears the clothes of the other sex. I’ve identified about eight different sorts, but if you can add to the list I’d be glad to hear. They can be broken down into:

4) Entertainers.

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

3) Fetish crossdressers - who use clothes as a substitute for, or an essential precursor to, sex. This is commonest among teenage boys, but usually disappears or develops into transvestism later. It is rarely seen in public, although the word "fetish" is often misapplied by those who should know better.

2) Fashion crossdressers - some metrosexuals and most women fall into this category. Women in trousers – seen as a sexual and social aberration in 1900 – had become the norm by 2000.

d) Stunt doubles.

Why is the Middle East prone to terrorism?

Which sort am I? No. 6, no doubt. Like most transvestites I’m married, almost entirely heterosexual.

1) Occasional crossdressers - Hallowe'en, practical jokers, fancy dress parties, students' rags... etc.

8) Those forced into crossdressing. This category is included for completeness but barely seems to exist in real life today. It was however observed in the period 1850-1950 when boys were occasionally forced into girls' clothes as a punishment at school or in the home. It is a staple of fiction – to escape from danger (Some Like It Hot), to obtain a job (Tootsie, Mrs Doubtfire), or forced by a sadistic female relative (much transvestite erotic fiction).

Do people really never face any hidden costs or surprises with surgeries in countries with single-payer healthcare like the NHS?

6) Transvestites – what most people first think of. For transvestites, crossdressing is an end in itself; motives many and various. For most, these go back to childhood or before birth and are obsessive.

a) In serious entertainment, actors playing a role. From Mark Rylance as Cleopatra or Judi Dench as Olivia to Antony Perkins in Psycho. Japanese Kabuki and Nō players. Sopranos singing "breeches" roles in opera.
