Counselling for Cross-Dressers By Renowned Sex Therapist in Sydney And Online
The word cross-dresser refers to dressing as the opposite gender. Crossdressing is not linked to sexual addiction. However, crossdressers can addict to sex like everybody else. Crossdressing has historically occurred in societies and may find expression in stage-artists, fun loving party-goers, fashionistas with uni-sex outfits, or in individuals disguising their gender to avoid discrimination. Some individuals may purposefully cross-dress to avoid social stereotypes and find stress relief in the opposite gender role.
CROSSDRESSING AND GENDER
Crossdressing is a poorly understood and often misjudged behaviour. In most societies where gender roles are stereotyped, cross-dressers push the boundaries. It is unclear at what age crossdressing behaviours may manifest. In some cases, the behaviour can be traced back to traumatic childhood events, but more likely, crossdressing is linked to congenital gender dysmorphia.
The need to cross-dress can be intense. Cross-dressers are typically clear on their biological gender, but may feel strong emotional urges to temporarily express themselves as the opposite gender. Such need for gender-switching may, or may not, be accompanied by strong sexual arousal. Crossdressing does not indicate a desire to permanently change one’s gender, or sexual orientation.
Sexual orientation and crossdressing behaviour are not linked. Cross-dressers may be heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual, fluid, or asexual with a same distribution ratio of sexual identification as common in all communities.
