Quite simply, crossdressing emanates from my core. That's how it is for me (in fact I said that: "at least for me"). Perhaps I'm the only person in the world like that? I'm OK with that. If CDing is a hobby for you, then great!

But if my situation causes you to conclude that I'm "beyond the realm of JUST a CDer", then that's your judgment. Please take care doing that to others, because people generally don't like being categorized.

I took that phrase to mean, your life depended on it--that is, living If you couldn'r dress, that day to day life was meaningless.
I haven't concluded anything about you. Just speculated about your place on the rainbow.
As I said, I don't know your history, and your above quoted reply seemed to indicate crossdressing was more that just a fad, fancy or whathaveyou.
No offense meant, I hope none taken. Enjoy.
