Transvestism
From LGBT Archive
Transvestism is the desire to dress in the clothes usually associated with the opposite sex.
The word was coined in 1910[1] and Havelock Ellis studied it under the term "Eonism".
Transvestism has sometimes been condemnded by the church, quoting the Bible:
- "The women shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for all that do so are an abomination unto the Lord thy God."[2]
