transvestophilia (uncountable)

  1. Sexual arousal from transvestism.
    • 1986, John Money, Lovemaps, page 66:
      The state of transvestophilia is either extremely rare or nonexistent in women. Transvestophilia is only secondarily a fetishistic syndrome. Primarily it is one of the gender-transposition syndromes.
    • 1999, Robert T. Ammerman, Michel Hersen, Cynthia G. Last, Handbook of Prescriptive Treatments for Children and Adolescents:
      Onset of transvestophilia is retrospectively dated to peripuberty or later, although fascination with female clothing may be dated to an earlier age, frequently age 8 or younger.
