As far as I’m concerned, the struggle within over cross dressing is over.
It’s something I share with tens of thousands, if not millions of others, so it’s nothing wrong with me, it’s simply part of me.
God doesn’t have a problem with the way we present ourselves externally, although good old Deuteronomy seems to have had, a few thousand years ago when societies and clothes were very different. He also denounced shellfish as well as a number of other things that we would consider silly. Certainly not “abominations”!
Anyone citing Deuteronomy as an argument against cross dressing should be asked whether stoning should be re-introduced as a punishment, and rapists be punished by being forced to marry their victims…
Even the wider society is much more accepting of people who are a bit different nowadays, although this varies from country to country. I’ve only encountered a very few closed minded idiots who want to say something about my appearance in a negative way.
The main problem lies in individuals who see problems where none exist, because of lack of understanding.
It took me nearly 50 years to reach the understanding I have now, and most of the understanding came from being a member of this site.
I finally realised that I am far from being alone and that others have had similar struggles, not just in recent years, but over decades, possibly millenia, while mamy societies have actively embraced gender diversity as a simple matter of course, or rejected it, depending on the views of those in charge.
It’s not a problem for me any more. The problem simply lies in educating others – and we are best placed to provide that education. The challenge lies in delivering it and overcoming the obstacles to enlightenment!
