[quote="davidalan11235813"][quote="ReindeerRoger"][quote]"Honestly, I'm pretty sure most transvestites are hetero."[/quote] I think the one you're thinking of is that many drag queens are straight.[/quote] That's what I said, just differently worded. I think you're confusing the words transgender or maybe transsexual with transvestite. Transvestite just means someone who wears clothing meant for the opposite sex, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity (from the Latin "trans"-meaning across or over, and "vestitus"-meaning dressed).[/quote]
