Higher level of depression in closeted straight CD men?

[pink.switch.love]

Seems like a logical assumption after reading this:

That's why places like this are so important.

My DH was always depressed when I met him.
Now he can dress when he gets the chance over the last 5 years , he is a changed man.
Also he was ocd about work, fishing, collecting things and this has near gone now ?

Been in the medical field too long to believe the first article on anything much less this. Anecdotal cases will pop up here, but caution is encouraged. And remember that a cause and effect does not necessarily exist just because of a correlation.

It isn't just the medicine that has this problem, Laura. I'm afraid it's fairly general. Most of the general population doesn't understand that correlation does not imply causation.

I also look at the size of the sample in the survey.
Maybe I am a pessimist, but I read initial surveys with interest and wait till they have been debunked 3 times before thinking about making a decision.

It comes with the territory. Hetro CD's are (or at least for the longest time were not) accepted by ANYONE on a majority basis except by other HetroCD's. We were looked at as the Mentally unstable. "why in the world would a guy dress as a women. He must be crazy". Yet, if he were homosexual, it's ok. Go figure.

Personally, if all men would Cross Dress, it would make it so much easier for everyone. Think about it. As a cross dresser, when the holidays come up or its your birthday, people now have double the options of what to get you. Hmmmm.... do you think he would like this t-shirt that says, Truckers do it on the Road...or these nylons?

:D

CD'ers have it MADE. Now just to get society to be more comfortable with us.

:D
