Cross-dressing is the act of wearing clothing commonly associated with the other gender within a particular society. The usage of the term, the types of cross-dressing both in modern times and throughout history, an analysis of the behaviour, and historical examples are discussed in the article below.

Nearly every human society throughout history has distinguished between male and female gender by the style, color, or type of clothing they wear and has had a set of norms, views, guidelines, or even laws defining what type of clothing is appropriate for each gender. Cross-dressing is a behavior which runs significantly counter to those norms and therefore can be seen as a type of transgender behavior. It does not, however, necessarily indicate transgender identity; a person who cross-dresses does not always identify as having a gender different from that assigned at birth.

The term cross-dressing denotes an action or a behavior without attributing or proposing causes for that behavior. Some people automatically connect cross-dressing behavior to transgender identity or sexual, fetishist, and homosexual behavior, but the term cross-dressing itself does not imply any motives. However, referring to a person as a cross-dresser suggests that their cross-dressing behavior is habitual and may be taken to mean that the person identifies as transgendered. The term cross-dresser should therefore be used with care to avoid causing misunderstanding or offense.

There are many different kinds of cross-dressing, and many different reasons why an individual might engage in cross-dressing behaviour.
Some people cross-dress as a matter of comfort or style. They have a preference towards clothing which is only marketed to or associated with the opposite sex. In this case, a person's cross-dressing may or may not be visible to other people.

Some people cross-dress in order to shock others or challenge social norms.

Both men and women may cross-dress in order to disguise their true identity. Historically, some women have cross-dressed in order to take up male-dominated or male-exclusive professions, such as military service. Conversely, some men have cross-dressed in order to escape from mandatory military service.

Single-sex theatrical troupes often have some performers cross-dress in order to play roles written for members of the opposite sex. Cross-dressing, particularly the depiction of males wearing dresses, is often used for comic effect onstage and onscreen.

Drag is a special form of performance art based on cross-dressing. A drag queen is usually a male-bodied person who performs as an exaggeratedly feminine character, in heightened costuming sometimes consisting of a showy dress, high-heeled shoes, obvious makeup, and wig. A drag queen may imitate famous female film or pop-music stars. A faux queen is a female-bodied person employing the same techniques.

A drag king is a counterpart of the drag queen but usually for much different audiences. A female-bodied person (often lesbians) who adopt a masculine persona in performance or imitates a male film or pop-music star. Some female-bodied people undergoing gender reassignment therapy also self-identify as drag kings although this use of "drag king" would generally be considered inaccurate.

Transgendered people who are undergoing or have undergone gender reassignment therapy are usually not regarded as cross-dressing. Namely, a transsexual who has completed gender reassignment surgery is certainly not considered cross-dressing, unless they were to wear clothes of the gender opposite of what they have transitioned to. Pre-operative transsexuals may be considered similarly.

A transvestic fetishist is a person (typically a heterosexual male) who cross-dresses as part of a sexual fetish.

The term underdressing is used by male cross-dressers to describe wearing female undergarments under their male clothes. The famous low-budget filmmaker Edward D. Wood, Jr. said he often wore women's underwear under his military uniform during World War II.

Some people who cross-dress may endeavour to project a complete impression of belonging to another gender, down to mannerisms, speech patterns, and emulation of sexual characteristics. This is referred to as passing or "trying to pass" depending how successful the person is. An observer who sees through the cross-dresser's attempt to pass is said to have read them. There are books and magazines on how a man may look more like a woman.

Sometimes either person of a heterosexual couple will wear it to arouse the other. For example, the Male would wear skirts or lingerie and/or the Female will wear boxers or other male clothing. (See also forced feminization)

Others may choose to take a mixed approach, adopting some feminine traits and some masculine traits in their appearance. For instance, a man might wear both a dress and a beard. This is sometimes known as genderfuck.

Rachel was lit by two 800W continuous light sources. Main light was about 10 feet back over her right shoulder and cast the shadow on the wall. The second light was lower and to camera right providing front lighting. The white wall also provided fill lighting to her right side face. Both lights were roughly 45 degrees to the flat surface of the wall. It was high contrast lighting with bare bulbs.

Camera: Canon 450D

The original capture was great, but I did the following to bump it up a notch.

The RAW image was fine tuned for white balance, and adjustments were tweaked for clarity and vibrancy, black level and exposure we adjusted for full luminance range without clipping. Saturation (adding about 4%) were balanced between highlights and shadows to match the scene as I remembered it.

The image was then brought into Photoshop (CS5) and cropped using the rule of thirds, placing the eyes in a position of interest in the framing. Harsh lighting is very unforgiving to skin, so minor cosmetic touch-up with a healing brush and clone tool were used on the skin. The blur tool was also used on the skin for additional smoothing and softness.

For the eyes, the following tools were used with very light settings ( 8 - 15 %): The sharpen tool was used on the eyes, eye lashes and the parting of the lips; sponge tool on de-saturate was used on the whites of the eyes; Burn tool was used on the outer edge of the iris; and the lighten tool was used in the center annular area of the iris. Finally, the sponge tool on saturate was used on the overall iris in order to intensify the color. [The image needs to be viewed full size to see this]

A couple of ever so subtle enhancements were also applied:

An additional technique was used to draw the viewer’s attention into the face. A 2nd layer was added with a box shaped gradient layer with a 45 degree rotation, and it was placed over the Rachel’s face: white in the center, black at the edges. Blend mode was set to screen, and the opacity was set very very low. Masking was used to eliminate the effect from Rachel’s skin and where it was distracting on the front wall. The final effect is very slight, and it’s not even noticeable unless you know it’s there.

A copy of the flattened image was saved at this point, and HDR toning was applied to the image. Radius of the edge glow is a critical adjustment in the process so the HDR effect is not overdone.. The HDR toned image was placed in a new layer above the previously saved copy of the image. The opacity was then reduced with a color multiply blending option. This adds a little kick to the image, bringing out the hair highlights. This has to be applied with a light touch to look natural.

The R&F Pigment Stick, 188ml Blending Stick with Drier has a small amount of Cobalt Drier added to quicken drying time of the Blending Stick and any mixes made with it. It is best used with color on top of it after it is laid down on the surface as it can affect color. R&F Pigment Sticks are seductively soft oil paints in stick form, providing today's artist with a truly direct way to work. They contain no dryers, no fillers or adulterants and no expedients of any kind. Because we do not use shortcuts, the wonderful workability of our Pigment Sticks depends on a very careful balance of oil, waxes and pigment.
