As a society we've now grown to the point where most people accept that being gay or lesbian is something that people are born with--it's not a mental illness or something deviant. In a similar way, I didn't sit down one day and choose to become a crossdresser! Rather, I just simply recognized that there is a feminine part of my being. I also recognized that supressing that part has had some very negative consequences to me and the people around me. I onlt hope some day most people will accept that hetero-sexual crossdressing isn't a mental illness that needs to be cured or some deviant sexual behavior and that some people are 'born to be crossdressers' just like some people are born to be musicians, poets.
