I’m going to quoting a lengthy section from a book by Tim Keller, called Preaching: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism. He brilliantly picks apart the modern ideas of our culture, including the myth of “choosing to be yourself.” He begins by...

I’ve been reading up about people who got medical surgeries to alter the way their bodies look to live as the opposite sex, who then later on, decided to stop taking the hormones and live as their original biological sex once again. These transsexuals, for...

Move over homosexuality. Transgender is the next big thing in the media. Over the last few years, we have all seen more and more and more articles in the news and in television shows about transgender issues, transgender people, and even run of the mill crossdressers....

When I first wrote this article, I shared a blog post from the website “Third Way Trans,” which unfortunately no longer exists. The post was called “Dysphoria = Dissociation.” The author’s story was raw and painful, but very moving. He...

There is no easy answer to this question as every woman is different and they have different things they appreciate or dislike. But I ask this question because I have often heard crossdressers say that their crossdressing should be the highest form of compliment to...

There are many parallels between those with transgender feelings and those with “transabled” feelings. These are the feelings of people who desire to have a body part amputated to be able to feel themselves and feel at peace. Because of all the transgender...

I think that transgendered individuals and transsexuals often make illogical inconsistent contrary claims. At first glance, these two opposing claims I explain below seem to support one another but I believe on closer inspection they are revealed to contradict one...

Those in the crossdressing community love to argue that crossdressing is a harmless hobby. Although other people in the culture find it weird, they just need more time to get used to it and see that it actually can be a fun hobby if not done to excess. Or they say...

This research study (pdf) is important to read – Suicide Attempts among Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Adults. The study was not perfect nor were its research methodologies (as noted even in the report itself). But really, what study is perfect? This...

This is an article worth sharing and reflecting on – “Myths about Addiction: They could stop if they wanted to.” We must admit it. For many of us crossdressing was or is an addiction. Instead of reaching a “high” from a drug addiction, we...

It is difficult to keep up with all the changing labels and terminology for LGBT people today. Some people have already added several letters to the LGBT. And isn’t it Facebook that gives you 50 choices for your sex on your profile? I think all these labels are...

I recommend reading the very good article, Sex without bodies, in Christianity Today. A common theme in the LGBT movement is to value someone’s personality or soul and to devalue the physical body. They believe in changing the body to match what is inside,...

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...

I was recently asked in a comment to explain my reasons why I believe crossdressing is sinful, or why it is harmful. It’s a good question. While my whole website is essentially about this with many articles, it is a bit overwhelming for someone to jump in and...

This was an interesting blog post I came across – The Hypocrisy of the Gay Community in America….Antoine Dobson/Jason Collins. I don’t claim to agree with everything in the post. However, I resonated with the main point. As the author points out,...

I am frustrated with myself and other crossdressers for expecting or even ever once having a hope for our wives to act as lesbians. If you are a Christian and believe homosexual behavior is sinful, than trying to get your wife to act this way with you (while you are...

I read this article – The Psychopathology of “Sex Reassignment” Surgery: Assessing Its Medical, Psychological, and Ethical Appropriateness. You have to download it as a pdf. It is written by Richard P. Fitzgibbons, M.D., Philip M. Sutton, and Dale O’Leary. This...

The Bible doesn’t say a lot about crossdressing, but it says more about homosexuality. How can understanding homosexuality and the Bible’s view of it help us to understand better how to think about crossdressing? A friend sent me this resource, an article...

Our culture very much values freedom and freewill. It’s basically the supreme American value (probably for Europeans too). And that is why I am so often completely stunned that people quickly deny their own freedom, in order to rationalize their behavior. It...

One of the things that I have come across often in conversations about crossdressing or homosexuality (and many other controversial issues), is the charge that Christians just pick and choose what they want to follow from the Bible. Non-Christians (and even some...
