I voted no because I think that we purge due to several wrong reasons among them: isolation, guilt, shame, fear, loneliness, confusion. I purged several times and I regret it every single one of them sooner or later, from a monetary point of view to some really cool nice clothes that went straight into the dumpster. Being a crossdresser or a transgender (or both) is not something that it will go away, and it is so much part of who we are as individuals that I believe that if I would have had the right kind of partner at the time who would have given me care, love, support, understanding, patience, etc I wouldn’t have purged. In fact, I believe that my journey of self discovery would have been way more natural, less traumatic and probably I would have found myself earlier instead of bouncing around completely lost.
