    Passed VA mental health.

    Last Wednesday I went for a mental evaluation at the local VA. After the typical questions of are you depressed? Do you sleep well? Taking any drugs for mental/emotional disorders?. We finally got down to my desire to crossdress. She (pshyciatrist) asked me how I felt about dressing . I told her it makes me happy, I don't get upset over silly things and it just seems right by me. Plus i enjoy wearing skirts, dresses over mens cloths and this goes for under garments as well. I asked her how society seems to feel about it. Basically she told me This! cossdressing is becoming more each day. More people are doing it to some degree and i should not worry about what other people think. She threw in the 'he who is without let him cast the first stone" And do not judge others. Anyway, it turned out good and she emphasized that c rossdressing is not a sickness. Anyway I feel a whole lot better about myself now when I do dress. I told her during the session that I was underdressed. She asked if that meant was I wearing men's things or that I was just not wearing a skirt or dress. I told her the latter. She thanked me for letting her know what underdressing meant. That was pretty much the end of session which lasted about 45 min.

    I have to see my V-A Doctor in about 6 weeks for my annual check up.
    I am going to ask Her about cross dressing and the V-A take on it.
    I will let you know how it works out.

    I had the same view conveyed in a similar manner by a psychiatrist some years ago.

    He was a professor showing psychology students old German porn and boxing films to test their reactions towards violence and "kinky" sex.

    I think of a line from Sheryl Crow, “If it makes you happy, it can’t be that bad”.

    Happy your appointment went well. I posted to your other thread a link to the flier the VA has on transgender issues. The VA seems to be more accepting than many of the politicians who fund VA programs. As a Nam combat infantryman letting Stephanie surface has a therapeutic effect upon me. She is better than alcohol or drugs.
