I like to dress up like a woman occasionally when I'm by myself. Am I doing something wrong? The Bible says that I'm going to hell, what do you think? know its not exactly a normal behavior, but I don't see how I'm hurting anyone. Besides, I'm quite pretty...if I do say so myself.

What you have is an addiction. Addictions are neither good nor bad. However, you must practice some discipline with your addiction or it will control your life.
Crossdressing can be a problem for your future wife. Oftentimes a wife will feel like her crossdressing husband wants her to participate sexually in his crossdressing, and she will find this disgusting. The crossdresser will sometimes find that he needs to crossdress to perform sexually - - bad news again. The crossdresser will even make his wife feel like she is his second love, and crossdressing is his first - - bad news again.
So, crossdressing must be controlled, or it can cause many problems.

Before I begin, I must say that I am not judging, nor am I saying anything on how you wrote the question versus how you should have written it. Because for all I know, you could have written it EXACTLY as you meant it. Here goes.
You say you LIKE to do this. Ok, well I LIKE to have premarital sex, and lots of other "sins" but whether I do them is entirely different. Also, the question of going to Hell is rendered useless if you have confessed your belief in the Lord Jesus and try to follow Him (see Romans 10:9&10). If you are saved, you are still not "good." We are all still evil and our hearts prove that every day...saved or not. Only God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit is "good" and this will stay true until we go to Heaven and shed these evil bodies and are transformed into something pure and good...finally. So does it MAKE you evil? No, you, like us all, were evil already and if you really think about this, you will see that it is true. We all have really sick thoughts. What we do with them is what separates us from the real freaks. And by the way, crossdressing is not all that sick when compared to raping and killing -or worse killing then raping (blechhh!) which happened to a close family friend of mine- and we all have thoughts that...don't...fit in in some way or another. But Jesus can change that in us. I remember when I first became a Christian I asked my Pastor, "Can I still go to Bars and stuff?" You know what he said? "Sure...but you won't feel like it." I thought he was full to the top with Grade A crap!! Nope. He was right. Oh, not right away. But something that I cannot describe changes gradually in you. I says so somewhere in the Bible that Christ changes and improves us from the inside out. Will we reach perfection? Not in these bodies. Will you go to Hell if you don't accept Christ? Yep...even if you never sin again. I didn't make the rules and like them as little as you do. Maybe less...LOL.

You're only going to Hell if you aren't saved, not for a particular behavior. Cross-dressing isn't the unforgivable sin.
I would question your motives for doing such. Do you have low self esteem? Do you hate being a man? What is it that you gain from dressing in this fashion?
Here's a ladyfinger cookie (no pun intended) and know that Jesus loves you.

John 3:16 is the determinate of who is saved; not your panties.
If you are uncomfortable (not a pun) with yourself seek therapy, it is OK for you to do what you want in private or with the people who understand you and care for you. The therapy will teach you that, and give you an idea of why you feel compelled to dress up.

The Scripture says, "The woman shall not wear anything that pertaineth to a man, NEITHER SHALL A MAN PUT ON A WOMAN'S GARMENT: for all that do so are ABOMINATION unto the Lord thy God." Deuteronomy 22:5 You tell me whether or not God approves.

God loves to forgive and reconcile you to him. There is no single act that you can do that will condemn you to hell without your consent. You see, each moment you have a choice whether you want to move closer to God or farther away from him. You can choose this moment to talk to him and ask him to come in to your life and he loves you so much he is just waiting for you to talk to him. He won't force you to talk to him, it is up to you.
Don't you see it's not about the specific acts that you do or sins you commit, it is about your heart attitude. Do you want to know God? Do you want to do what is right?
If you spend your whole life turning away from God and doing what he hates, how can you expect that you will be with him after you die? Heaven is the presence of God, hell is his absence.
Because of what Jesus has done on the cross you are totally forgiven. God is no longer your enemy and you don't have to be his anymore! You can choose this very moment to take a step towards heaven or a step towards hell, the choice is yours.

As long as you are pretty, it is OK. I'm pretty sure the Bible on say the ones who look ugly or awkward are sinning. Or maybe it is Cosmo that says that...I'm getting confused.

No and I never read where it says cross dresses go to hell.
In the old days they all wore long dresses.

Are you hurting anyone? No. You're not evil.

You are just living in the flesh and not the spirit
