Is cross-dressing a mental health disorder?

Don't go looking this up on some Psychology website. Just give me your opinion, I don't want facts. I want your honest opinions

Well, it’s not an opinion question. There’s an actual answer for this and no, cross dressing is not a mental health disorder. It’s not recognized as such, discussed as such or treated as such.

@Graylight This off topic, That is a great profile photo you got there. Did you take that photograph yourself? I love black & white photos

@HumanEarth I didn’t, though I wish I had. I’m just learning more about b+w shooting. It’s adifferent way of looking at the world. And thanks.

@Graylight Here check this photo out it was done in the late 1970s.

I come from a long line of professional photographers

All the photos are taken with a camera just like this

I own well over 60 cameras

@HumanEarth That impressive. There’s always in just a touch of math involved in photography for me, which is a huge detriment. But when I work from a foxhole POV, and with basic knowledge, I can get some more shots. I’d love to hit you up once in a while for some advice, though.

Some recent shots (sorry if they’re huge- on mobile phone)

@Graylight Oh please do I even know cameras from the 1800s, but oldest is this

You have to try Infrared film black & white or color

@HumanEarth Love that tip. And it's a great reason to pull out my own older Minolta (a standard issue). Ooh, a new project to try!
@HumanEarth I did a ghost photo in HS similar to yours.

YOU HAVE A MINOLTA!!!!!!!

I love Minolta's, I like them better then my expensive Leica. I have more Minolta's than any other.

@Guardian
I did a ghost photo in HS similar to yours.

It would have been a lot better if Georgia didn't jump out of the chair like a fool. She made the chair move

@HumanEarth Yeah, I started with a Minolta about a thousand years ago as a teen and have been brand lowal over the years (though I do have a very nice Canon DSL).

The ghost photos are interesting. There's a place for a comeback of those somewhere.

@Graylight Someone told me, that the new DSLR can do double exposures now

Here is what a bad triple exposure looks like

@HumanEarth I'll have to check it out. I love playing around with new concepts and techniques.
