I read an article (it’s been removed) in which a transwoman, Jenna Talackova said, “One of my key traits is positive thinking.” “I believe you create the world around you with your thoughts.” I have nothing personal against this person....

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...

I found an interesting resource, an Armenian medical network encyclopedia section on transvestism. The section is called – Transvestism and Gender Identity Disorder in Adults. Prepare yourself for a lot of reading! Notice that the link I gave is only page 1 of...

One day the thought struck me that in some ways crossdressing seems to stem from patriarchy. Feel free to disagree or push me on this. These are just my musings, and I have doubts myself about what I’m saying. I realize that the whole thesis here is incredibly...

I want to suggest a very practical tip in your healing from crossdressing addiction. Simply put, I suggest you take time to exercise, get in shape, and lift weights. It has been really helpful for me to lift weights and do pushups and other exercises that tone and...

This song has been a welcome light in my journey of accepting myself as the man that God has made me to be. It might be helpful to the rest of you as you struggle to live in your identity as a man, and fight your urges to crossdress. The song is not directly about...

I read this article in the News – Transgender Americans take on New York – I found it interesting but also troubling in a few ways. First of all, I always think it is strange when transsexuals make statements like – “It is the contents of a...

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...

In this post, I am going to talk about how I think crossdressing can easily become idolatry, in the same way that money or other good or neutral things in life can easily become an idol. This is different from me saying that crossdressing is always necessarily...

In another post, a lengthy conversation began which included discussion about how some transsexuals are men that used to be simply crossdressers. They began crossdressing in their youth and it had a sexual component in the beginning. But as time went on, and they...

I wanted to write about a manifestation of my crossdressing addiction that is really important for you to hear about because many of you have probably struggled with the same thing. In the past, when I was addicted to crossdressing, it might be more accurate to say I...

About the Author By Andrew – See Andrew’s Testimony What Would God Say? I really wish that I had a nickel for every time that I asked that question. The short answer is that for me and my life, any form of cross-dressing is wrong. As is drunkenness,...
