My guess is she thinks bra and panties on a man equals sexual fetish whereas clothes and shoes means transgenderism/transitioning. She thinks she will lose her man if you proceed further. The best...
Thanks everyone for the feedback.
There is obviously some confusion about why I posted about MD.
I am not saying that crossdressing is a daydream or is just fantasy but there are many...
I came across articles about a behavior called maladaptive daydreaming. It bears an uncanny resemblance to crossdressing and describes the powerful attraction of an alternative reality. For those...
I don't believe the majority of us begin crossdressing because we had a transgendered personality but usually it was more a case of mild gender dysphoria growing up mixed with curiosity. So most of...
I beg to differ, crossdressing to become female is a specific behavior. You say that your identity is affected, I would say you are very much correct, it is what I have been discussing. There is a...
I like that you have thought about tomboys because their behavior is definitely related to ours but I wonder if you have missed an important point, namely why is a tomboy's dysphoria manageable? I...
Yes it will come back, don't worry about it. Go off and find something else to interest you then after a while you will lose interest in that and will want to switch again. It is human nature to...
Do women who make dressing choices think they are being childish? I think this notion (which I myself have thought about) comes from our masculine upbringing. Males are taught to abandon frivolous...
I agree that there is too much confusion with the term transgendered. To me it should really only be used to describe those who float in-between the two binaries and suffer gender dysphoria as a...

You are making the mistake of confusing gender and sexual orientation. These are two separate drives which are often linked culturally but individually there is no link. This is just the...
Because as I mentioned there is an underlying cause -dender dysphoria - that causes the crossdressing in the first place. Treating the compulsion would only alter the association the person has with...
Crossdressing is an OCD except for those who are transsexual. If this was just a natural part of ourselves we would not need to think about it, or fantasize about it, we would just do it and think...

I cringed when I read your posts. It is a hard enough battle to fight when your wife is a rational person but when she believes you are going to hell then you are literally doomed. For her...
It has always been obvious to me that crossdressers are role-playing. Those who are genuinely transgendered will think about it differently but most CDs dress for fun or relaxation. The point of...
Yes it probably does come across that way. I am having to fight against the prevailing wind in which popular theories on emphasize only the attraction factors so I end up shouting louder to make...

Please don't tear out any more hair but...
femininity has nothing to do women seeing themselves as women or sexuality. To me femininity/masculinity is a state of mind/being wherein the...
Reine sorry if this looks like I am always picking on you, I'm not, you are just a good debater! but I cant let you get away with this one. There has been a huge change in how women see themselves...
I will only repsond to the lady from Denver is she agrees to reduce taxes, raise spending and lower the debt all at the same time.
I am in whole-hearted agreemnt with everything you said except...
Society exists but it has many factions so invariably any generalizations about what society wants will fall short. But don't forget that femininity which we desire so much is a social construct so...

This is the problem with a compulsive behavior that delivers a high. Our bodies adjust to the level of enjoyment so there is a need to increase the dosage until you reach the limit. Then...
Better than a panty thread! Debates are not about winning or losing but about throwing ideas around. The main benefactors are the audience who learn from watching. ;-)
I will ask you this...
Reine it is hardly a conspiracy to make boys' lives miserable. Gender roles are designed to make society more efficient. Everyone knows their role, their place, knows what society expects of them. ...
Reine I am glad you looked up summaries of these books but that was not really the reason I suggested them. I do not necessarily agree with all the theories being put forward, I believe some to be...
It could be and if it were a non taboo subject then I would say that it is almost certainly the case. But you cannot ignore the taboo in male crossdressing. As boys were were conditioned to never...
