I can't speak for others with regard to all the "why" questions. The reason I keep asking myself the question and occasional chime in here on that subject is that cross dressing is simply illogical. It doesn't make sense. Thus the "why" question seems like a perfectly logical question to ask when dealing with an illogical activity. I'm not suggesting that cross dressing is a bad activity because one can't wrap your mind around it with the clarity of 2 + 2 = 4. Perhaps at some point in time someone will write an explanation that will satisfy my feeble mind's need-to-know, but until that happens I will probably keep asking myself that question and being interested in threads about the "why." I will in the future try to be careful not to write too often on the subject since it seemingly irritates others in the community. I am a cross dresser, not a salt rubber.
