I don't mean transitioning/srs. I don't even mean "all things considered". What I mean is, assuming for a moment that you have felt at any moment the desire to be (whether forever or for just a moment) a woman, why do you think you felt that desire? I do not intend for this to become a discussion about whether all crossdressers fell a certain way or not. If you haven't ever or don't feel this desire ever, then please don't feel you need to respond to let me know that or to let me know the reasons you crossdress, etc. An example response that has understood my question would be like this (and this is one of my actual answers):
"I sometimes want to be a woman because I want to use a woman as an object (to look and and enjoy sexually) and I can't/won't actually do that, so I use myself."
How about you?
