This page is probably going to make me real unpopular. Well, the party line in the CD community is that cross dressing is healthy and even therapeutic. CDs dress because it gives their inward female psyches an outward manifestation. Under this view, all problems connected with cross dressing stem from social intolerance.
Society is bigoted.
If the world were more accepting of human differences and distinctions, and less caught up in arbitrary and nonsensical gender roles, cross dressers wouldn't have any problems at all. I don't buy the party line and that makes me a heretic. There are a lot of behaviors connected with it that aren't healthy at all. Aside from being fraught with secrecy, guilt and diminished self-esteem, a CD's life can get out of control. Many CDs become obsessed with their self-feminization.
