Homeovestism

1. 1. 1. Homeovestism

Homeovestism is a concept identified by George Zavitzianos and further developed by Louise Kaplan, referring to the arousal of a person by wearing clothing appropriate to their gender. This is in contrast to the more widely recognized practices of transvestic fetishism, where one is aroused by wearing clothing of a different gender.

According to Kaplan's book Female Perversions (Doubleday, 1991), homeovestism is "an impersonation of the idealized phallic parent of the same sex" in order "to overcome shameful and frightening cross-gender identifications" (p. 546, footnote to p. 250).
