I am 66 and been dressing for 50 years. 4 years ago I found out I had 2 step brothers. The younger than me one died about 6 years ago. I have met my older step brother and hit if off right away. He is very straight forward and told me the younger brother liked to wear dresses and lingerie. So now I am thinking is this something passed along from our father or just coincidence that two of us dress up.Your thoughts on this. Bobbie Anne
Who knows? But it’s a hell of a coincidence.
I subject for research perhaps?
I'm on the genes side of the debate.

Add me to the genes believers.
I believe that it is in the genes.

If they are step brothers how are they blood related to you?
We can only speculate until somebody identifies the CD gene!
I'd say it's in the genes.
Of course Karen won't agree, she hates genes especially the denim ones.
The only way to tell the difference between a male chromosome and a female chromosome is to pull down it's genes.Case closed.

I believe in the genes, and the influence of hormones in the womb. Interesting to know if mother or father are the connection. Often wonder if my brothers are/were into this, but not gonna ask...lol

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
It may be in the genes, but the question is: whose?
Yes, it could be in our genes. That's certainly possible.
On the other hand, it could be in our mother's genes, and that could be the reason that our minds didn't get fully rewritten into the mail "book".
It's clear the research has only begun.

From the post I would say they had the same father but different mothers.Originally Posted by arbon

Nature or nurture, count me in with the rest.
I have reason to believe it came from my father.
I often wonder if my brother is a sister.
^^ This.If they are step brothers how are they blood related to you?
Step-brothers would imply that the father married the mother, who had the two boys, but the father (and Bobbie Anne) is not biologically tied in to the brothers. If it did come from the father, it would have to be something learned, not something genetically passed on.
(Half brothers would be if they shared 1 parent but not the other, as in the case of same father and different mothers or vice versa)

We were women in a previous life?
Can anyone disprove that theory?

You are right, guess I had a blonde moment, which is nothing new lately.
Hi,
Well now Bernadina prove the previous life , then we'll worry about the theory later in the next one.
...noeleena...
I will clarify PASSED ALONG FROM OUR FATHER means we all had the same father
It would not surprise me if there is a genetic element. And at least for Transsexuals there is in fact some evidence that it may be genetic.
I know of one family with three siblings - one gay, one a male to female transsexual, and one a female to male transsexual.
Another transsexual male to female friend of mine has a brother that is a crossdresser.
No, but neither can anyone prove it. So, very sorry, Bernadina, that makes it a useless theory. Anyway, in my last life I was a dog.
Best wishes, Annabelle
I'm of the opinion that it is genetic in some fashion. I have 3 male cousins on my father's side that are all gay....and then there's me. Has to be something in the "pool"....
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Actually we were macho men in a previous life, and this is the universe's way of balancing things out.
Hi Bobbie, I think that my crossdressing came from my mother when she dressed me
in a little white receiving gown to bring me home from the hospital when I
was born 69.5years ago
I've been dressing for about 65years now.

As about 2.5% of all males regularly crossdress, it's not unusual at all to sometimes find more than one in a family. Coincidence is often mistaken for miracles of all sorts. If you know 100 men, it's very likely that one of them is also a crossdresser, whether you know it or not.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
