[edit] Merge

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Boldly close as oppose. The proposal has been around for two years! -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:05, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree with the merge proposal. I don't see good reason why this article needs to exists separately from cross-dressing. It discusses the same topic using a different name. (See the map is not the territory). Also, I question why discussions from Oct 2010 have been archived already on this talk page, leaving it empty. Tijfo098 (talk) 19:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Support merge proposal. Loggerjack (talk) 19:40, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
What proposal? Oppose merge with cross-dressing (a matter-of-fact term normally unrelated to lifestyle) which can be temporary and/or motivated by other mentality than what normally is considered transvestism (more often considered a lifestyle). And I agree about the archiving. SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Oppose. Two seperate and notable topics. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:05, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

[edit] What to do here

Almost the entire entry is either 'citation needed' or 'original research.' While that doesn't make the assertions contained incorrect, it does mean that the relevant passages don't belong here. If no one is willing or able to correct the deficiencies, I vote to remove the offending passages. Discussion?

As far as I can tell, most of the criticism templates were just added last month. Perhaps we should give editors a little more time to source things properly.--Bbb23 (talk) 02:06, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps "transvestite" should be a sub-category of "crossdresser" ? In my experience [source: membership of The Crossdresser Club http://crossdresserclub.com/home/index.php and many other transgender groups & forums], the argument that "crossdressing" and "transvestism" are alternative names for the same phenomenon is a purely emotional one based on the fact that "I don't like the word transvestite" or "I don't like the people [sc. psychologists] who use the word "transvestite". Neither argument deserves to be countenanced by a serious encyclopedia.

I believe there is a genuine difference between the meanings of the two words, in that "crossdresser" refers (by definition) to any person who cross-dresses whatever their motive(fashion, political, emotional or commercial); whereas "transvestite" is used to refer only to those who do it for emotional reasons. The one phenomenon is a sub-group of the other.

[edit] Trasvestism - the essential dating tool

When trying to become a man before a performance, I tried on several things and shoved several things down my pants. In the pants area I tried socks, looked too big, tried rolled toilet paper, too small and flopped, so then I went to the fruit shop and found a cucumber. It lasted all night hard and wore a mistache. I had to cover the boobs so I got a suit with larger propels and I focused and attained my goal after the performance. I GOT MY NUMBER ON THE MENS ROOM DUNNY DOOR AFTERALL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.217.175.103 (talk) 08:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
