My wife and I were watching the NBC Nightly News this past week. As most of you probably know or have seen it mentioned in the media section of this site, NBC covered over two nights in separate segments a transgender very young boy and girl. It was very well done and very informative.
My wife blurted out that she believes those children were of the opposite sex in a past life. She has watched those shows on cable television showing young children who have memories of past persons. I am not totally in agreement with my wife. I really don't know if this concept is in contradiction with religious beliefs. My wife is a firm believer in the afterlife. She has a younger sister who had some of those experiences as a young child.
I really wonder if there is any possibility that there has been some imprint made due to a past life experience. I grew up all boy. I had an older brother. I had only male cousins. Nobody dressed me as a girl. There were very few girls in the neighborhood that I even talked to as a kid. I played sports from 7:30 AM to darkness. I got in trouble all the time. I did military service as required. I've done all the male things I should have done over the years without any regret. I thoroughly enjoyed them (except for the military service).
So, why do I like wearing women's clothing? I wonder sometimes about my wife's statement concerning transgender kids. Of course, the kids get older. Some continue on. Some "out grow" wanting to be the opposite sex. Under this past life theory the imprint fades away.
Adhering to this theory may be my wife's way of handling my cross dressing. I'm not going to disagree with her. There is a certain benefit I derive from her theory. I would really like to believe there was a beautiful woman of a past life who left an imprint on me. It would answer a lot of questions.
Any thoughts?
