Crossplaying is when you cosplay someone of the opposite sex. or gender. Now Cosplaying in general is when you dress up in a costume or outfit to be or act like a character. Cosplay literally means Costume Play. Crossplaying goes for both genders. It means, if to say, you were a guy and went to a convention dressed as Mikasa Ackerman, that's crossplaying.

A branch of cosplaying/roleplaying. When a fan of an anime, manga, game, or movie dresses up as a character of the opposite gender than themselves.
This is sometimes confussing, especially when the person or character they are dressing as has hermaferdiac traits..
Then again, some crossplayers are so good at what they do that they seem to be the same gender as the character they are cosplaying as.
