okay, as I've been clued in by Olly (thanx), I see what happened now, and I'd sum it up by saying I didn't see Luke's link (which defined phobia, as did I, although I explained why I did). I really can't see the "point taken", I guess, since I also defined cibophobia with my link, so it's not like I totally mantled him, even though I'd not seen his post.
I'd also posit that the chances of my actually mantling Luke are slim, at best.

something of the kind was an ancient queen, of Lydia or some
such place. She had a god (Hercules????)serve her while wearing
a dress. So Fear, aversion to cross-dressing?????

Sure, I was just remembering the laugh our class got out of
the story of that queen. But that was many decades ago.
And it is a phobia: so not contemplating one's navel, but
an aversion of some sort. Many people today pierce their
navel, no aversion there, rather attraction.
