Its a very grey area, with each description/ tag overlapping.
It also depends very much on how the person dressing sees themselves.
It is possible to argue each description, but it will always boil down to self image and how a particular individual sees it or themselves.
Personally I vary from fully male attire when appropriate (in my eyes) to just a bit of underwear- although I very rarely these days wear boxers briefs etc - to full feminine clothing, underwear, dress (or skirt blouse etc) makeup wig heels, jewellery, perfume etc.
So obviously I'm not full time (ever tried riding a motorbike in a dress n heels!!!!).
Also if my, or anyone elses, confidence is low, then dressing isnt always an option.
But there certainly are guys that will dress to boost their self confidence and esteem when its low.
So, applying any particular label to someone will always be difficult.
Personally I have no idea as to what to label myself (I'm definitely not a HPW though - very little body hair anyway and luckily got the figure and bone structure to carry a fem look).
Example: just been to supermarket to get a few supplies in my boots, DPM jacket n trousers, baseball cap etc, but went to same supermarket yesterday in shoes, stockings, pencil skirt*, padded bra, blouse, 3/4 length womans pink coat*, wig and full makeup.
2 sides of the same coin.
*that my lovely new neighbour gave to me.
So am I CD or TV???
To be honest I don't really care any more what label people want to slap on me....
I'm me, and I'm me just for me and no-one else.
I hope this is making some kind of sense?
