Hi I’m struggling with cross dressing issues and would love to hear some uplifting things to help get out of this. I’m a Christian and praying constantly for release from this. It has been a real struggle especially for a man that didn’t think it would be a problem. Thanks to all and God bless
Go outside work out.

Maybe I'm wrong but in Jesus time the dress code looks pretty gender neutral to me.

The question you have to ask yourself is - Is my cross dressing more important than God? Do you treat it as an idol? Does it make my wife uncomfortable? Only you know the answer to these questions.

I'm not going to say it is a right or wrong thing to do as I believe that this is something you need to talk/pray out with God and let Him lead you to find the answer that works for you and God.

If cross dressing takes you away from God then you need to think about that or does cross dressing bring you closer to God? Again only you know the answer to these questions.

God want us to draw near to Him and have a relationship with Him and if what we are doing makes us want to hide from God or go away from Him then we need to do whatever it takes to be closer to Him and build that everlasting relationship with Him.

Prayers you will find your way in whatever you decide.

As for the photo analogy, , there seems to be a point made, however because of how the manner of attire has developed it seems there is a difference, big difference, in the gender attire considered acceptable and normal today.

I do not know what drives a person to such manner of conduct but if that is as far as it goes, I do not condemn you for your private activity in your home if your wife manages to live with it. I think the enemy has you deceived though.

It would be nice of all wore togas, but that is not going to happen. God bless you, and I love you in Jesus Yeshua. I know God loves you too. God bless you always.

What we give ourselves to, we become.
We are asked to live that we might stand blameless and acceptable unto Him.
Does frequently giving our mind over to that which is not Holy but carnal and worldly achieve this?

I recall how "most people don't think about what they think about", constantly running impure and perverted thoughts through our minds creates a chink in our armor that the devil can attempt to exploit.:unsure:

many of us ( me included ) are not good at serving Christ with our minds.

That is where sin starts. Jesus modeled how we are each to live, He only did what He saw the Father do, He only said what He heard the Father say.
To say we are His and claim defeat in this most basic of areas dishonors His life and sacrifice.
Those who have had NDE's mention the little temptations to sin don't come up when they are on the other side, but come back when returning to the body and this life.
Keep a "picture" of Jesus in the picture frame of the mind, there can be no room for anything from the devil.
best wishes

why women wear dresses,
its easier to wear one item then two that we have to mix and match.
its cooler
easier to sew and hem

Basically a dress is kinda the same as a tunic, just more fitted . Men also can wear tunics.

Romans 3:23 - For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The strife of two natures (Jekyll and Hyde)
Romans 7:15 - I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Eph 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast

No one is perfect, gloriously forgiven, we strive everyday, we all fight temptations in our lives. It is how we handle those temptations, remember it is not a sin to be tempted, it is a sin when we give into that temptation.
I would encourage you to read the book of Romans, take a month and read it, re-read it, you find new and encouraging words everytime you read it.
I pray for your strength, sober minded to see the lion who seeks to destroy you that you may find refuge and strength through the shed blood of our savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen
