Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-gender identification is a defining feature of gender identity disorder (now called gender dysphoria), which is a condition where an individual experiences significant distress or impairment due to a mismatch between their biological sex and their gender identity. Transvestic fetishism involves sexual arousal from wearing clothing typically associated with the opposite sex, exhibitionism involves exposing oneself to unsuspecting others, and frotteurism involves rubbing against non-consenting individuals for sexual pleasure, none of which necessarily involve cross-gender identification as a central component.
