Usage notes

 * Historically, the meaning of transvestism also encompassed transgender identity.
 * Clinically, transvestism is defined more narrowly than in colloquial use, and is distinguished from other forms of cross-dressing that are not associated with sexual arousal, such as cross-dressing to perform a role for entertainment purposes—which is properly termed.
