Living Dangerously

[windycissy]

Going swimming in the hotel pool in a woman's swimsuit...laying out in the midday sun, smoking Virginia Slims and oiling your legs with Hawaiian Tropic Deep tanning oil SPF 4...coming home with tanlines from your skirtini...

I strongly oppose those in the psychiatric community who categorize crossdressing as a mental disorder, but in my case they may be onto something :)

[Lissa Stevens]

To hell with them. You and I and millions of others like us no that there is nothing wrong with us mentally. I'm crazy but it has nothing to do with my TG status.

[Cynthia Anne]

You may be crazy! But you're not insane by far! At least you know how to have fun! Tell me, were those Virginia Slims 120's by any chance?>Hugs!

[sissystephanie]

You are not crazy or insane! You are just very smart, and good looking in your skirtini!!

I just ordered a new skirtini to go with the 2 that I already have! I have been swimming and sunbathing in the ones that I have, and expect to do the same in the new one. I think they are great to wear!!

I am so jealous. We were supposed to do that yesterday until I let some little thing like underarm hair get in my way. You look good and that pool really looks refreshing. Thanks for a great game of golf yesterday (not for me!). Today I played a lot better and am much happier. Thanks for sharing.

As a passionate psychology student I feel compelled to point out that it's not up to individuals to determine that, it's the DSM-IV :worship: It is all-knowing and all-powerful, the holy text of psychology!

There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of a hobby that gives you an adrenaline rush from something as mundane as hanging out at the pool!

Nonsense, Cissy! There's absolutely NO PROOF that sun or tobacco cause cancer! Just some unfounded, silly, left wing, internet rumors! REAL MEN, and WOMEN, say, "Poo poo", and live their lives to the fullest!

That they may end prematurely and very painfully is NOT important!

Didn't the DSM-IV get eddited to where CDing was no longer a mental disorder? Oh man, I hope it did, otherwise I will have to quit. The FAA may use that against me. Hopefully it is not a psychosis.

It lists Transvestic fetishism as a paraphilia and Gender Identity Disorder. Nothing for the "mainstream" CDs though.

[Brenda456]

Well, that IS good news!

Does smoking Virgina Slims or any other cigarette make you feminine or stupid?

Point taken, but I'm living for the moment, paying Mother Nature back for the cruel trick she played on me...if I die young, maybe I'll come back as a woman, and if I beat the odds and they wheel me into the nursing home with nothing but my memories, thanks to the gift of crossdressing, there will be no regrets

Maybe makes you just smelly, yuck!!

"paraphilia"
wazzat?

I guess I can fall under mainstream...even though I am not. There is little mainstream about this being.

It's the fancy psych word for fetish. If you don't dress for the sexual thrill and you don't identify with the opposite gender, then you're not covered by the DSM-IV
