Gaff (cross-dressing) → Gaff (clothing) – The term transgender comes up more often in Google search than crossdressing. Clothing seems more apt. 88.104.40.54 (talk) 16:22, 6 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I think Gaff (clothing) or Gaff (garment) might make a better title. PC78 (talk) 17:44, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have changed the proposal as suggested by PC78 88.104.40.54 (talk) 01:07, 7 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Support since it's not specific to cross-dressing. PC78 (talk) 11:53, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Suspensorium genitalis
In Nazi Germany, gaffs were sold underground under the name "Suspensorium genitalis".

Described in Transvestitismus in der NS-Zeit (Q115568815) / Full text URL, page 344:

„Das Suspensorium genitalis ist eine besondere Bandage, um die männlichen Geschlechtsteile zu verdecken, wie sie auch von Artisten ähnlich getragen wird“

("The suspensorium genitalis is a special bandage to cover the male genitals, as it is similarly worn by performers" )

The source also describes how the seamstress, as well as her customers faced persecution under the Nazi regime. ZoraSilv (talk) 09:29, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
