Transvestism (also called transvestitism) is the practice of dressing and acting in a style or manner traditionally associated with the other sex.
History
Coined as late as the 1910s, the phenomenon is not new. It was referred to in the Hebrew Bible. The word has undergone several changes of meaning since it was first coined and is still used in a variety of senses. According to some sources, the term transvestite today is considered outdated and derogatory.
Origin of the term
Magnus Hirschfeld coined the word transvestism (from Latin trans-, "across, over" and vestitus, "dressed") to refer to the sexual interest in cross-dressing. He used it to describe persons who habitually and voluntarily wore clothes of the opposite sex. Hirschfeld's group of transvestites consisted of both males and females, with heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, and asexual orientations.
Hirschfeld himself was not happy with the term: He believed that clothing was only an outward symbol chosen on the basis of various internal psychological situations. In fact, Hirschfeld helped people to achieve the very first name changes (legal given names were and are required to be gender-specific in Germany) and performed the first reported sexual reassignment surgery. Hirschfeld's transvestites therefore were, in today's terms, not only transvestites, but a variety of people from the transgender spectrum.

The one thing everyone knows about Grayson Perry, the celebrated British artist and Turner Prize winner, is that he is a man fond of wearing a dress. Nowadays, his famous alter-ego Claire tends only to come out for special occasions, such as the opening of his first solo exhibition in France: "Vanity, Identity, Sexuality" at the Monnaie de Paris. Perry has made himself a household name in Britain by sculpting pots and stitching bold tapestries that grapple with modern social issues.
He sat down with FRANCE 24's Eve Jackson in Paris.
