So I've been reading a lot on this site, and a subject that often comes up is "why?"

I'm sure I'm not first person to posit this, but why do we CD? I'm talking specifically about those who are male, who feel male, but dress to feel female anyway. What types of feelings drive this feeling? If we don't feel like a girl trapped in a boy's body, nor do we all feel like it's a sexual/fetish thing, then why do we dress?

I've actually been wrestling with this line of thought for a while here. Because I don't fully understand it. Thoughts?
