Transsexuality (being born in the wrong body) is a clinical disorder known as Gender Identity Disorder, or Gender Disphoria.

Cross-dressing is not transsexuality, and is not necessarily caused by a clinical disorder.

Thankfully cross dressing is a mental illness only experienced by a minute minority of the deviants in America...

I never said crossdressing and being a transsexual had anything to do with each other. I don't find anything wrong with crossdressing. It's a hobby for some men... and I guess women.

Transgender people aren't creepy. What is creepy is judging somebody just for being different.

Well, the topic is about a cross dresser, not a transsexual, so I wasn't sure where the transsexuality comes from.

I also don't know how you claim it can't happen. Brain and body development don't always match.

Actually there is a huge unknown when it comes to gender identity and it's not just accepted to be a mental condition that can be cured with psychotherapy. Not at all. And if there is a physical or chemical or hormonal or chromosomal cause all the psychotherapy in the world isn't going to help. And people certainly ARE born wrongly male and female, some have both organs so how is it even a stretch to assume some can be born with the wrong ones or have a disconnect between their brain/body?

Agree, nature does from time to time produce freaks of nature, it's been occurring for thousands of years...

I see you got my point concerning "things" or "it", (take your pick) that cross dress....

Dehumanizing trannys is fun. Now let's go join Hot_Handz throwing them in dumpsters and incinerators.
