Subject: Depressing
I have a friend who has gone back to school to train as a psychologist. She doesn't know about my husband. The other day she showed me her current study material and it's on gender, paraphilia and sexual disorders. You here and my husband are in this category. It was really depressing to see. It made me question all the tolerance and calm I'd finally found as essentially, the medical profession thinks my husband is sick.
He has a disorder. Davina and Katie, so do you. :(
I didn't say much but the fact is my friend is being trained to 'help' men such as yourselves learn you're sick and need treatment. This is very negative news for a wife. I think all humans have issues but to hear it has a serious name - Paraphilia. God, I married a man with a disorder in the same group as pedophilia!!
Logic says that's bullshit. How can the two compare? My friend said these behaviours all start the same in childhood, they affect only men, and follow the exact same compulsion pattern so yes, they are in the same group. One is harmful to others and the other usually isn't but both are disorders.
Depressing news. Knowing this now I honestly can't see acceptance for crossdressing anytime soon. You don't even have medical support that it's okay. :(
What do you all think of this?

Cool. I believe that if we can answers questions in an open and honest way with no hidden agenda then it must help some people come to terms with crossdressing.
I know that we don't represent the whole crossdressing community but if someone can identify with our type of dressing then it must help them question their own motivations and maybe come to some peace with their dressing.
The few months I've been posting here have definitely helped me. I think the questions asked by Sindy, Emma and Hannah make you reflect one why you crossdress and help to see things from a wife / partners perspective which can only help relationships.
