In case there is still someone unaware, CW translates somewhat freely as 'fanny sausage'. Obvious reference.
I note TimC's reference to 'drag' and his dislike of it. 'Drag' is actually a very specific term, and is well-used in the broad church that covers transgendered people--the "TG Umbrella". There are fundamental differences between drag queens/kings and crossdressers, arising from the different mindsets that are involved. Drag tends in most cases to extend and exaggerate the 'cisgender norm' and often takes it to parody. Watch 'Priscilla' or RuPaul for ideas on that one. Lily Savage is over the top clothes-wise, but the act works more through the personality of the character rather than the frocks.
Crossdressing is an entirely different kettle of fish, horribly complicated, and a totally foreign country to me. Leaving aside 'Genderqueer', those of us who fall into the TS group are a lot simpler to explain. We just have a few issues with our bodies, in the main.
Now, I don't know where Tom/CW falls on that spectrum, but he's done a lot of us a big service by pissing off an awful lot of homophobes. Hint to the Russians, Ugandans, etc: wearing a skirt makes you neither a woman or a gay man. Bigotry isn't that simple.
