[edit] Misconceptions

[edit] Relationship with transsexuality

Persons who identify with a gender which differs from their genetic sex are transsexuals. They may dress as anyone else in their gender would without being a transvestite.

[edit] Relationship with homosexuality

As Ed Wood went to great pains to explain in his masterpiece, Glen or Glenda, "transvestites are not homosexuals". They can be, but the two aspects are separate and only tangentially related.

[edit] Transvestites and the Bible

Not surprisingly, this is another abomination. Deuteronomy 22:5.
