I am reminded of my real life conversation with my psychologist. Finally, after a number of what I am sure were frustratingly unproductive sessions from her perspective, she looked me directly in the eye and said, ‘we have talked enough about your ex wife. Now lets talk about you’. I knew it was going to have to happen, and I finally blurted out that I was a cross dresser. Her response was, ‘its not a crime, you know’.

Until that moment, I didn’t realize that cross dressing was not the problem. The problem, in part, was how I viewed myself/judged myself for being a cross dresser.
