I know that this forum is rather dedicated to specialists, but I had few concerns that might be of interest to some of you. I am a man who lived and was raised in a conservative community in the United States. I came to this forum to discuss a personal behavioural "problem". For a long period of time, I have been suffering from some fetishistic symptoms, mainly crossdressing. As you might have guessed, I am a hetrosexual male, just like many crossdressers. This "misery" started when I was about 11 years old. When my mom used to leave me at home and go to visit her family/friends, I sneak into her closet and try her lingerie, her dresses, etc. Now, I am an educated "man". I became independent, and I live by myself. However, now I have my own feminine wardrobe. Right now, I am wearing panties, a bra, and a sexy stretch mini-dress. Of course, I am also wearing my make-up, as I am writing this message: I am dressed "en femme", a very strong desire which I couldn't suppress. And to be honest with you and with myself in the first place, I don't like the way I am. I am in a situation that my community doesn't accept me, I hate myself for this "low" desire I have, and I don't know what to do about it. I read lots of articles about crossdressers and their lives. I contacted some of them. I also knew about the support groups... But there is one thing which none of those people addressed. And that thing is the "cure" for this fetishistic behaviour. One might feel better by contacting other crossdressers and support groups, but one can not hide the fact that we, crossdrssers, are rejected by the majority. It is not that we close our eyes, tap our heels, and then say, "I am going to be happy with my life" and all of a sudden I am happy. It is a reality, crossdressers are not accepted by most societies... Is there a "cure" of it? Or is it a failure on behalf of clinical psychology?
