Fetishistic Transvestites are people who are aroused by wearing the clothes of the opposite sex. They will often have a fetish for a particular garmet such as shoes, stockings or underwear. Fetishes are compelling fascinations with certain clothing, body parts or sexual activities. A common fetish is for women's feet, often in high heels. Fetishism can range from simply enjoying - for example - seeing women in high heels, to compulsive behaviors that interfere with normal life.
"Transvestites" should not be mistaken for "Transsexuals" as the latter's behaviour is not primarily fetishistic. "Transexuals" feel that they are "trapped" in the body of the wrong gender and will often go on to have operations to change their sex and dress and behave as though they were a member of the opposite gender at all times. "Transvestites" on the other hand are usually heterosexual and content with their birth gender but find the clothing of the opposite sex arousing.
