It could be and if it were a non taboo subject then I would say that it is almost certainly the case. But you cannot ignore the taboo in male crossdressing. As boys were were conditioned to never think of such a thing. We were conditioned to consider it demeaning to our self-esteem. We understood the dangers if we dared to step into the minefield that surrounds femininity.Originally Posted by SweetIonis
Here is the bigger picture. There are forces which attract us and forces which repel us. In a binary system like gender that means there are factors pushing us away from masculinity and towards femininity. Crossdressers always focus exclusively on the forces of attraction. "I am this way because I am part female so naturally am attracted to femininity" Everyone seemingly totally ignores the factors that repelled them from masculinity. I think both factors are always in play but obviously the balance is different for everyone.
Femininity absolutely does offer huge power and privilege but boys are conditioned to be blind to that. Instead we are trained to believe in the inferiority of girls. So if we cannot see the power of femininity and dare not voluntarily enter the minefield then I suggest that something needs to give us a push. Once we are in the minefield we discover it was just a ruse to scare us away and we walk over and discover for ourselves the delights of femininity, after which we are hooked for life and all we remember is what appeals to us and gives us so much satisfaction.
