Why do some of us feel the need to get counseling to understand the need to do what we do, try to shed the guilt, or even give ourselves "permission" to crossdress?
Funny, but I don't see the people who get facial tattoos, body piercings, wear outlandish (and often inappropriate) clothing, sport mullets or else dye their hair purple or green etc. - all of which also fall outside of typical societal norms - agonize equally over their particular compulsions.
They just lead their best lives as they see fit, so why do we beat ourselves up over our own proclivities? Are ours that much worse - let alone questionable - than theirs?
