- Cross dressing
- Cross dressing is defined as wearing the clothes of the opposite sex, usually for sexual excitement. A cross-dresser does not necessarily want to look like a realistic female.
- Transgender
- A person who feels gender misidentity. They feel that they are of one sex, trapped in the body of the opposite sex.

- Transvestism

Most transvestites are heterosexual.
