Thank you. This is why the bloggers in the first post want to stop the CDing.

So the next question is, if the CDing becomes this "obsession/problem" for lack of a better word and it does NOT involve gender dysphoria, then what is the difference between it and any number of other sexual and non-sexual obsessions/problems?

I don't think there is any difference, and I think it's a shame to say that if it is the CDing that is causing issues and it does not involve gender dysphoria, then the CDing is OK simply because it's OK to CDress. I mean, it's also OK to enjoy internet porn or play with bondage on the weekends, but not if it takes over your life. So how do most people deal with an activity once it has reached the level of compulsion/addiction/obsession/whatever? Abstinence ... or at least this works with other things, such as gambling, smoking, alcohol, or staying away from certain food triggers if it is overeating, or certain shopping situations if it is the shopping.

The key word is IF the CDing does NOT involve gender dysphoria.
