Men dress up like women : wear feminine clothes, makeup and hairstyles either because they tend to confuse themselves with the opposite sex ( whose sexual characteristics they love to take on or imitate),  or because they have an innate female component even if without having an explicit homossexual tendency. The phenomenon of travestitism has always existed, yet it is particular today in that it has been extended to woman as well.  However, I don't intend to speak on the woman who loves to dress as a man : the time of the suffragettes who believed they had to take on masculine manners and clothes in order to attain equal rights has passed.  Now there is another kind of bissexual transvestitism.  We often see males with the most original and glamorous outfits, whose female partners are just as gaudily dressed; or, we see couples - all got up - which could be considered ambisexuak or bisexual precisely because the difference between sexes has continued to diminish and male-female tastes in apparel have become uniform.
