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 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...

Struggling with autogynephilia or transvestic fetishism can take different forms. It does not always involve real women’s clothing. Sometimes, perhaps most of the time, it is actually an issue of our heads and our hearts. The most common way of acting on our...
