Aww @disqus_7vWlLQ9SKp:disqus, you flatter me; and yes, I’m aware that my articles tend to be way too long-winded, but I’ve never got the patience to trim them down — although this one will possibly feature as a chapter in a book that Jack Molay is preparing, so I might write a much shorter and condensed version…

Thanks for clarifying the issue of who actually came up with the ‘Pink Fog’ term 🙂 I will change the article accordingly and credit ‘Ana’s group of friends’ for the term. I love it, btw, because it is a very descriptive term. And I’m sure you will also enjoy reading Felix Conrad’s essays and articles on the subject (he actually has a whole book about the ‘Pink Fog’…) — maybe you too should exchange ideas. It’s clear that you’re not only talking about the same experience, but you both advise against being careful about not letting the ‘Pink Fog’ become your obsession.

And when I read both of you — by sheer coincidence, in the same week! — there was clearly a lightbulb over my head. ‘That’s exactly my problem!’ I thought 🙂

So I’m really thankful for your insights (and those of your groups of friends) and I’m certainly going to try to promote your ideas further — because I think that recognising the ‘Pink Fog’ and actively preventing it from ‘taking over’ should be something that every crossdreamer should be actively doing.

Or else, they will quickly fall in the same mistake as you did — believing that they are, in fact, transexual (or even that they are ‘women’) and taking steps that they might regret…
