I too have had a sexual fascination with womens clothing since very early childhood. I was always ashamed of it (tried to keep it hidden) even before I knew any Bible teaching on the subject.
After a lifetime of struggle to understand this behavior, and to get free of it; I have finally gotten to a place where it is no longer a part of my life, and the guilt is gone. The guilt is gone because the practice of dressing as a woman for sexual arousal/role playing/masturbation etc. is over for me.
I see the causes for this behavior as follows.
1) General licence granted by God to perverse spirits to influence society in general (as a societal punishment if you will), because of modern society's general refusal of God. God "giving them over" to do such things that are "not convenient". See book of Romans for that.
2) Absent male role models in early childhood years.
3) Possible inappropriate sexual contact between mothers and sons in very early childhood years.
4) Excessive sexual stimuli in our modern culture.
5) Genetic predisposition of certain boys to passivity, fearing the male role.
6) Strong sexual interest trying to act itself out in a confused manner, mistaking the clothing, for contact with women themselves.
For a young Christian boy fearing the sin of fornication with a female partner, and badly confused about what he finds so arousing about women and their clothing in the first place, this is bound to happen in many many instances. It is IMO a lesser evil than fornication with an unmarried partner. Such a young man should look to marriage as the real answer to his problem.
In marriage however, the crossdressing PROBLEM will have to become an unlearned behavior. That is the insidious curse of this secret sin. Best never to start down this road if it can be avoided at all.
I shall conclude with this. Some interpretations of the Corinthian passage cited earlier, raise some very grave questions about whether a "catamite" or as the KJV renders it "effeminate" will ever inherit the kingdom of God. This very real fear led me to pursue deliverance until God finally set me free. I advise all cross dressers to do the same. Never give up. Deliverance will be given in the end.
Here's the last piece of the puzzle that helped me get free. Cross dressing is best understood IMO as a twisted kind of whoredom. It is a sin where you act out both the role of harlot and whoremonger in one single confused identity destroying act, again and again and again. If harlots and whoremongers are welcome in heaven, then I can see no reason why crossdressers would not be accepted as well. There is room in heaven for harlots/whoremongers who repent. There is also room for cross dressers who repent.
1st Corinthians 6
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Love in Christ

Truthhound, I am transgender and have NO interest in sex. Living life as a female doesnt bring me a sexual thrill. It is just who I am. Also, though I dont think you mentioned it others did, I have NEVER had a sexual interest in man. So the whole lust and sins of the flesh dont apply to me. Still there are those passages. Through research of translations I feel each of those were directed at very specific groups of people or mistranslated. I know I am in the minority of this and am gratefull for those that are going to or have already tried to convince me I am wrong about this; I am gratefull that there are those who love me enough to try to save me. All I can say is I pray daily now for God just to show me how he wants to live and this is what I am being shown. Praying to learn to be more boyish or manish never worked. Also befor it is mentioned or because it has been mentioned before, I do believe that God has the power to do anything. I just feel this is what He wants of me.
