Eh, sort of. Transvestite refers to someone who wears clothes of the opposite gender (trans = across, vestir = to clothe, to wear), and really that mainly applied to men wearing women's clothes, because a woman wearing pants is questionable, but a man wearing a dress? There's clearly something wrong with them!

As clothing "norms" became more old fashioned, that word fell into disuse.
