What causes transvestism?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-26

Transvestism is a psychological disorder characterized by a strong interest in clothing of the opposite sex and compulsive dressing behaviors.

The causes of transvestism are varied, and here are some of the possible causes:

1.Physiological causes: Some transvestites may show a strong interest in clothing of the opposite sex because of changes in hormone levels. For example, some men may prefer women's clothing because of higher levels of estrogen in their bodies.

2.Psychological causes: Some patients may choose to wear clothing of the opposite sex because of low self-esteem, lack of self-identity, or the pursuit of a sense of uniqueness in order to attract the attention and approval of others. In addition, some patients may choose to cross-dress because of rebellion against traditional gender roles or dissatisfaction with gender stereotypes.

3.Family factors: Some families may have excessive stereotypes about their child's gender roles and gender expressions, which can lead to a child's rebellion against traditional gender roles and seeking different ways to express their identity.

4.Psychological trauma: Some transvestites may experience some kind of psychological trauma, such as gender identity confusion, amalgamation, or domestic violence. These experiences may lead patients to choose cross-dressing in their quest for self**.

For transvestite patients, we should respect their choices and identities and provide the necessary support and assistance.
