What is double negative about it? I like you have never considered myself transgendered but do not consider those who are as having a chemical addiction to it. I disagree with your analogy.
For the purpose of this thread I am not tying to imply anything at all about anyone who considers themselve TG. The difference between CD's and TG's have been done many times oin other threads
Addictions commonly are considered a negative but they do not always have to be. Example is a Work addiction is not a bad thing untill it takes away from other things like family and loved ones.
Let take for example a male who only likes to underdress. He is willing to risk ridicule and possibly his employment if found out just to wear panties, garter belt and stockings under his normal work clothes. He is doing this purely for his own enjoyment as know one else knows. Underdressing is not something he HAS to do but rather something he enjoys to the point he takes great risk to do
Is that an addiction? Is it an obsessive behaivor? Are obsessive behaivors also addictions?
Another example.. A man with a wife who does not really accept yet he continues to wear panties to sleep in everynight. I read this all the time and think WHY?
He puts on panties and in 10 minutes he is asleep and no longer gets the feeling of them yet he is willing to make his wife very uncomfortable about his need to do it.
To me I think that is at the least a form of addiction.
