What does "crossplay" mean?

Crossplaying is when you cosplay someone of the opposite sex. or gender. Now Cosplaying in general is when you dress up in a costume or outfit to be or act like a character. Cosplay literally means Costume Play. Crossplaying goes for both genders. It means, if to say, you were a guy and went to a convention dressed as Mikasa Ackerman, that's crossplaying.

Crossplay - meaning

Crossplay is a subspecies of cosplay. What makes this different from regular cosplay is that the crossplayer is dressing as a character of the opposite sex. This applies to both males and females, yet the males are the most well known and ridiculed.
It is very hard to find a "good" crossplay. At best estimate, 4 in seven crossplays are hideous, to the rate of one in eight good cosplays.
Do not attempt this under any circumstances unless 1) you can make or have access to good costumes, 2) you are absolutely sure you will look good or just okay in it, and 3) you're sure that you will be going to a convention with so many freaks that nobody will mind.

1. Guy walks out of dressing room dressed as catgirl, (or any other female manga character), says to friend: "I'm impressed, you actually made good crossplay. I thought that was nearly impossible!

2. Two "normal" people in jeans and t-shirts walk through a convention.
Person 1: Wow, this is an awesome convention huh?
Person 2: Damn right!
crossplayer walks by...
Person 1: Oh my God... was that a guy in crossplay?
Person 2: Yeah... that's one of those people who should definitely not wear tights.

Crossplay - slang

A branch of cosplaying/roleplaying. When a fan of an anime, manga, game, or movie dresses up as a character of the opposite gender than themselves.

This is sometimes confussing, especially when the person or character they are dressing as has hermaferdiac traits..

Then again, some crossplayers are so good at what they do that they seem to be the same gender as the character they are cosplaying as.

"My friend likes to crossplay as Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist"

"One year I went to Otakon crossplayed as Sango."

"That one crossplayer for Fuuma was was so good that I didn't know it was a girl till she wen't in the girl's bathroom"
