I continue to believe in the ability of human beings to adapt, and in the inevitability of change. I don't know if you can quit, or more precisely, how difficult it would be for you to quit, but these blanket pronouncements on this site that it is impossible irritate me no end. It is argument by anecdote.
The conclusion by members here that we cannot quit is a classic example of what is known as "sample selection bias." First, the people who participate in this forum are very likely not to be a random sample of all crossdressers, and are likely more committed to and tolerant of it than the universe of crossdressers.
More importantly, we no longer have in our sample those who might have successfully quit. It is a bit like the observation that building were better constructed in the 19th century than they are today. If you don't think so, just look at all those great old buildings still standing. Of course, only the great ones are still standing.
If I had to guess, I would say that yes you can quit, though I have no idea how difficult it would be for you personally. But to be fair, I don't have much evidence for my position either. I am projecting on the basis of the amount of change, truly fundamental change, I have seen in both myself and others.
