A person who dresses in clothing often designated for the opposite sex. This can be seen in women and men. However, this is not be confused with drag queens/kings. The difference between the two is drag queens/kings strive for a more stereotypical masculine/feminine look whereas crossdressers try to look natural. A male crossdresser is known as a MtF (Male to Female) crossdresser. A female is known as a FtM (Female to Male) crossdresser. This is not to be confused with transgender. Also different from crossdressers are transvestites, which are people who use crossdressing for sexual pleasure. The term crossdresser can easily be shortened by its initials, CD. When talking to crossdresser, it is easier to refer to them as the sex they are dressed as. Many straight people do crossdressing as well. Anyone of any sexuality, gender identity, or sex can crossdress, crossdressing does not mean a person is gay.
