[edit] Unclear

The discussion of female and male crossplay is all very unclear... Is "male crossplay" males dressing as females, or males dressing as females?

Also, in my experience, which is not to be taken as fact, it is more common (recently, anyway) for females to dress as male characters at US Conventions. Nowadays many conventions are fairly evenly balanced in terms of male/female attendees, and since there's no particular social stigma for female to male crossplaying, it is widely done.

At some point the accuracy of the article has been damaged - women crossplaying as male characters is dominant in the US, but men crossplaying as female characters is more common in the UK and Japan.

[edit] In Kochikame

There are many "crossplayers" in the comic of Kochikame.

For instance, 聖羅 無々 is a "crossplayer" of Sailor Moon

I've also heard another intresting character named 伝嬢 雨亭裸. I am not sure, but he sounds to be a male, and he is a crossplayer of Utena Tenjou. AirBa 10:10, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gender not sex

opposite gender not opposite sex. I am making that correction. Gender is the social construct of the dicodemy of what we think of as masculinity and feminity. sex refers to the genetic reproductive role. Fictional charactors only have gender thus the correction. 69.171.135.10 04:32, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
