Can someone please explain the difference between these two terms?


Pretty self explanatory.

Gender bender is male/ female switching to the opposite gender via medical procedure. Cross dressing is male/ female dressing up in the opposite gender's clothing.

Hmm why are then some dramas tagged as gender bender when their leads do not go through any medical procedure? They are only pretending to be the opposite gender.

I guess to make it easier to find more options since they are kinda similar

I see. I'm asking because I've seen users using both tags and I thought they were the same but wasn't sure.

Ive seen that as well. When searching for something I would get different results too... its weird

gender bender, does not involved any medical procedures in dramaland.  it is just a character who disguises him/herself as the opposite sex.  Gender bender is (i think) the more acceptable term when describing drama.  Crossdressing is more of laymans term outside the dramaland
