Someone who cross-dresses, i.e dressing outside of gender. Sometimes done to look like a convincing member of the opposite sex ("passing"), sometimes not. Sometimes a secret, sometimes not. Nothing to do with sexuality. Not necessarily to do with desiring a sex change either.
I can't believe there is no definition for transvestite on urban dictionary! Now's my chance...
John: Why is Adam wearing a dress and a wig? Does he want to be a woman?
Carla: No, he's just a transvestite. He likes to cross dress.

n. A transvestite is a man or woman who wears clothing of the opposite sex. Unlike the drag queen or draq king where the person is homosexual, a transvestite can be gay or straight.
Many tranvestites have a love of a particular type of clothing of the opposite sex, usually brought on by happy childhood memories of it.
*Not to be confused with the transsexual.

What i like to do in my spare time. What I consider myself. It's a personal thing but It's more like a hobby to me. I put on make-up, women's clothes, stockings, jewelry, womens underwear and other items in order to look and feel more like a woman. It can be a turn on and is a kinky past-time for anyone intersted in the adventurous.
I love to dress up as a transvestite when i'm alone. I keep it a secret pasttime from my mom and brother.
