[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 102125, member: 1963"] I don't post much anymore due to feeling I haven't much to contribute, but I had to respond to this. I'm on the spectrum and also bipolar. I am also a cross dresser. Not because I am gender confused: I consider myself to be female--anatomy is undeniable. It's a fact of biology. I was also a partner in a relationship with a male for over twenty years. That relationship ended with the death of my spouse. I don't cross dress because I get some sexual thrill out of it, but rather because I simply find men's clothing to be more comfortable. Currently I am wearing a pair of men's pajama bottoms, a silky pair of boxer shorts (about to dig out my men's longies as it is bitter cold up here in the northwoods), a men's sweatshirt with a men's flannel shirt over it, and even men's slippers... Why? I have no idea. All I know is that this is how I feel comfortable dressing. Part of it might be my build. According to my mother (who is a girlie Aspie), I've NEVER tolerated frills and ruffles, even as an infant. I've worn makeup exactly once in my life and that was for my wedding. I made it through the reception all the while wanting to rip my face off. Frankly, I don't see this as reason to freak out. I even find (sadly) amusing that many women cross-dress without problem, when it is considered to be such a big deal in men. In an ideal world, given anatomy, it probably makes more sense for the guys to wear skirts. Let what is, be. If the young man is otherwise doing well, let it be. What sort of underwear he likes is his business. My only objection would be that he is borrowing yours. I know that I'd be a bit skeeved by ANYONE borrowing my boxer shorts. ToK [/QUOTE]
