Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eli's preference for dressing in traditionally feminine clothing and accessories is consistent with transvestic behavior. This term refers to the act of dressing in clothing typically associated with the opposite gender for an emotional or psychological purpose, rather than a desire to permanently transition to the opposite gender. Claire's clothing choices are simply a preference for a certain style or level of comfort and do not necessarily indicate anything about her gender identity. Therefore, the other options (agender, asexual, and cisgender) do not apply in this context.
