Cross & the Crossdresser: Personal Reflections on Crossdressing from a Christian Perspective

Crossdressing as a behavioral phenomenon has existed in every culture throughout history & is even mentioned in the Bible. In fact, this Biblical reference (Deuteronomy 22:5) is often used as a proscription against crossdressing. How, then, does a crossdresser who considers him/herself a moral Christian reconcile spirituality with this behavior? Can a person be a good Christian & a crossdresser? The author, Vanessa Sims, a crossdresser, wrestled with this exact issue. Raised with a shame-based, guilt laden religious background, Sims' crossdressing caused much pain, grief, & guilt. Thus began a search for answers & a reconciliation with faith in God. Sims found those answers & shares the results of that search in this book. Sims defends the concept that a crossdresser CAN be a good & moral Christian on grounds derived from extensive research into modern theological thinking. Many references to Biblical & theological source texts are provided to the reader. Crossdresser, spouse of a crossdresser, clergy & therapist alike will find much spiritual comfort in this ground-breaking work. To order: C.D.S., P.O.
