I appreciate the fact that Ashleigh found interest in the page on my web site about theories concerning the cause(s) of someone being a crossdresser. This thread seems to have generated some disagreements among those who have been following it and have seen the page on my web site. This is actually a healthy discussion since it has prompted input from those who are following it.

I would like to make one thing very clear concerning the page, and it’s something that is stated at the beginning of the explanation of the two theories discussed. That statement is:

“Most of these are just what the name implies – THEORIES – with little or no scientific or medical information to back them up.”
We LIVE with theories every day. As an example, we are all familiar with electricity and what it is capable of doing. At the same time, no one has never been successful in DEFINING what electricity is. The basic theory (there’s that word again) is that it’s a movement of electrons from one point to another. This ‘theory’ has been in place since electricity was discovered and rules governing it’s behavior have been established and used with success to harness it for our use. So even though we haven’t been able to explain exactly what it is with any degree of success, we HAVE put it to use for our convenience and benefit by utilizing the theories that have been developed concerning it.

With all that being said, the two theories discussed are the ones that I have found to be the most believable over the years I have been researching crossdressing. It doesn’t mean that I subscribe wholeheartedly to them – just that they seem to be the most convincing of all the ones I’ve come across.
