Re: A husband's inner femme, Insight Jan. 9

I found the article about heterosexual cross-dressing to be very interesting. As an out cross-dresser, I would like to applaud the Star, writer Helen Wolkowicz and especially Andrew/Linda for the sensitive handling of a much misunderstood and little considered activity.

However, Dr. Oliver Robinow's statement that cross-dressing is the result of trauma such as divorce or abuse in early childhood is by no means universally accepted. To the contrary, there is widespread disagreement regarding the causes of heterosexual cross-dressing.
