WHAT IS A CROSS DRESSER?
A cross dresser is overwhelmingly a heterosexual, often married, male who dresses in women's clothing. Rarely discussed is the fact that men who wear female clothing, and lingerie in particular, have heightened sexuality while dressed in women's clothing.
WHEN DOES CROSS DRESSING START?
Typically, men who are cross dressers started between the ages of 7-9, and most often began by secretly wearing their mother's clothing. There is a significant difference between a young boy role-playing or dressing up with friends versus a burgeoning cross dresser.
WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME BEFORE MARRIAGE?
The most common answer is fear of rejection. Furthermore, many cross dressers claim that they thought getting married would end their impulses to cross dress.
IS MY HUSBAND GAY/ AND OR DOES HE WANT TO BECOME A WOMAN?
Typically not. The majority of cross dressers are heterosexual men.
WHAT ABOUT OUR CHILDREN?
It is best to seek professional counseling from a therapist or religious leader regarding whether or not to tell the children and how to be sensitive to their age-appropriate needs.
MY HUSBAND IS THROWING AWAY ALL OF HIS FEMALE ACCOUTREMENT. DOES THIS MEAN HE WILL STOP CROSS DRESSING FOR GOOD?
Statistically, it is highly unlikely that he will stop cross dressing. More than likely, the cross dresser will slowly rebuild his female wardrobe. "Purging" is a familiar habit of a cross dresser.
DO I STAY OR DO I LEAVE?
It is clearly a personal choice. Seeking advice from a counselor, therapist or religious leader will hopefully help you see diverse options. There is no wrong answer. The choice is always yours.
