Is crossdressing bad

Answer 1

The hazards involved in putting on clothing are minimal. It is designed to be worn. Be sure that you are not allergic to any fibers or anything that has absorbed into the fibers. To determine if something is bad, look at the reason for why you are doing it. If it is accomplishing what you intended it to, then bad can only be defined once it no longer accomplishes what you are intending. Whether or not what you are intending to do is bad is between you and our creator, and will be dealt with in time. If there is no creator then bad becomes an opinion... and in my opinion, opinions are a poor substitute for answers.

Answer:No it is not a sin. ""My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.When I was woven together in the depths of the earth.."" was not a law just a statement. God loves people for who they are as long as they are not doing evil onto other people. Answer:God doesn't care if a woman wears pants, or a man wear skirts, or if we pierce our eyebrow and shove a kosher hotdog through; God cares about Love and whether or not we show love (in acceptance and caring, in forgiveness and sharing.)

If we are without love we are damned. and no amount of suit wearing or tie wearing or prostrating or empty prayer or giving to Church can change that.

Answer:Its obvious by the frequency of 'crossdressing' questions that you yourself do, and are insecure and doubtful about such actions. The truth is it is gender deformity. you are unsure of the boundaries within your mind, and unsure which feel masculine, and which feel feminine. Humans have both aspects in their mind, and society lays down the boundaries. Society says its wrong....or at least popular opinion. And from a spiritual perspective i believe it is wrong as it is a mask for a deeper soul problem. Look past 'should i cross dress' and ask yourself, not wiki answers, 'why do i want to cross dress'. It sounds harmless to me. Answer:(I have assumed you asked this question because you cross-dress or are curious about cross-dressing yourself. It may be that somebody else you know is cross-dressing, or that you are simply asking for the sake of asking. I've also assumed you are referring to male-to-female cross-dressing.)

This is a dangerously loaded question. What, after all, is a sin? Most of the major religions have clearly defined sets of rules, typically designed to maintain an ancient status quo or reinforce old social rules. However, the simple fact is that many theologians and believers are unable to agree on simple things such as when an action constitutes a sin. In actuality, religious opinion is not static, but shifts over time. I can point to lines in The Bible (for example) that can be interpreted as a condemnation of cross-dressing, and other lines that would appear to suggest it is irrelevant one way or the other. Likewise, theology can be twisted in either direction.

Therefore, the idea of a sin is more potent as (and more likely to be) a social construct than a religious truth. It is pointless asking whether it is a "sin", since you'll never get a truly objective answer. Referring to theology or the Bible (or any other religious guide) is useless if it equally supports both arguments.

The need to ask this question suggests that your environment and upbringing are more conservative. If this is the case, cross-dressing is likely to be socially frowned upon. Even if you do manage to keep it under wraps, the very subterfuge could be making you unhappy. If you wish to do it in public, expect at least some disapproval.

Sadly, most cross-dressers can NOT just "pray the urge away". Suppressed, it is likely to at least cause "angst", and could possibly sublimate itself in other ways. I would suggest you "just go for it" and live the way you want, but I live in an extremely tolerant culture. Whatever your decision, therapy of some sort always helps. I don't mean expensive professional therapy - find somebody you can confide in, be it a VERY trusted friend, a counsellor, or even on the 'Net. Simply feeling free to discuss your feelings with somebody is important.

A further note of clarification:

An answer above suggested cross-dressing is necessarily a sign of "gender deformity". This rather odd choice of phrasing (which suggests an actual PHYSICAL deformity of some sort) is not definitely a correct diagnosis by any means. People cross-dress for many reasons, including simple pleasure, sexual or otherwise; as a sense of release or escape from the world, much as one may put on a pair of favourite slippers after work; a non-sexual fascination or curiousity; and of course because of "gender confusion". It is by no means LIKELY that you are suffering from transsexualism, as most cross-dressers are more or less comfortable with their sexuality. Often the view that, by cross-dressing, you are somehow "failing" your masculinity is harmful in itself, especially as it is not often true. You're the same person beneath the clothes, whatever clothes you wear. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone it's not bad, in my opinion.

Answer:

It's your life, and i think you should do whatever you want to do. don't listen to how other people are telling you to run your life, if its the opposite of what you want to do. go for it!

Answer:

Not at all if that's what you want to do as long as you want to; don't believe all the Bible.

Answer:

Yeah it is sort of a sin but in comparison to others like swearing and hurting others, it isn't really that big a deal.

Answer 2

No, crossdressing is not inherently bad. It is a form of self-expression where individuals wear clothing typically associated with the opposite gender. As long as it is done consensually and does not harm oneself or others, crossdressing is a valid form of personal expression.
