Synopsis:

The Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry, a life-long transvetite, explores the reasons why some men cross-dress, and asks what transvestism tells us about gender and sexuality in our society generally. "We're one of Britain's oldest subcultures - already well established in Victorian days" he explains. Yet acceptance of it is still in its rudimentary stages. What are transvestites telling us about the pressures society places on us all to conform to 'normal' gender roles? The film is a plea for greater understanding and tolerance on behalf of one of Britain's most oppressed, mocked and misunderstood minorities.
