In this post I want to analyze the similarities between a struggle with crossdressing and the power of the one ring in The Lord of the Rings books. I am not writing this as a logical argument against crossdressing. I’m just writing out of my own experience of...

In my struggle with crossdressing, many Bible verses have been helpful to me. I’ve studied them, memorized some of them, and often read them after failures. I’ll periodically mention and comment on some of them and how they relate to our fight with sexual sin. For...

As Christians, we should not be living under condemnation. In fact, we ARE NOT living under condemnation because of what Jesus did for us. But we also need to make sure we don’t give in to feelings of condemnation after we fail with any sin. After we sin, when...

Some time ago I watched an episode of the television show “House.” It’s a doctor show about diagnosing patients, but they really get into the personal issues of the patients in the show. I found this episode very interesting in the parallels I saw to...

We are often asked why we believe it is harmful to indulge our desires related to autogynephilia or crossdressing. This post gives a summary of many of the reasons we have written about in greater depth elsewhere on this website. It can be a bit overwhelming looking...

I have to admit that when I think about crossdressing, I can come up with certain good qualities about it. This may surprise you to hear me say this. But it’s true. And these good qualities were often the things that tripped me up and got me to rationalize...

This is a very helpful and enlightening video. It is called The Great Porn Experiment. The video is about the effect that pornography is having on men and on the wider culture. As many of you probably struggle with pornography in addition to crossdressing, I think...

Don’t be a Fool! You will get caught crossdressing! This post is an attempt to frighten some of you enough that you will get a brief moment of lucidity, a brief moment of escape from the pink fog, so that you can begin thinking clearly again, and look at...

I read an article in the past, which has since been removed, about people using gender identity disorder in court as a defense for criminal action. This made me think more generally about the idea of people having “disorders.” What are the ramifications...

It’s Halloween season. It’s a crossdresser’s paradise. Many of you might be thinking about dressing up because your wife or friends won’t actually think less of you for doing so. Some of you might even have wives or girlfriends who would have a...

This is a pretty graphic topic, but it seems practical enough for me to talk about, because dealing with these issues is a reality for most of us. First of all, if you want my thoughts on masturbation, see my long post on it here. I’ll try not to repeat myself...

Whew, this is a heavy and personal topic, but I think it needs to be addressed. Is masturbation okay for a Christian? Or is it sinful? This is a long debate and I don’t have all the answers, but I’ve thought a lot about. In fact, my views about it have...

I’ve done a lot of reading online about crossdressing, and it is very common for me to come across a quote like, “you can try to give up crossdressing for a while, but it will always come back eventually.” Sometimes this kind of statement is...

I’ve been reading lately about science. I love learning and I also think it’s good for pastors like me to keep on learning about science, even if some of it goes over my head. I’ve been reflecting on some scientific findings that relate to our...

I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of good beginning steps for those who want to give up crossdressing (or other autogynephilic related behaviors) for good. This is just a starting point for those who wish to stop crossdressing completely. Stopping...

In this post, I am going to talk about how crossdressing can easily become idolatry. Of course I do not refer to consciously worshipping crossdressing. I mean idolatry in the sense of putting something else as a god in your life, in the same way that money or power...

There is a common type of argument in favor of crossdressing that is commonly given, especially to wives or friends of a crossdresser. I think the argument is intentionally deceptive. Unfortunately the argument is quite effective to those who aren’t familiar...

About the Author By Don Don’s Testimony (anti-androgen medication) For most of my life I dreamed of being a girl. It started when I was 5 years old when my mother threatened me several times to put a dress on me when I was bothering my sister. The thought...
