Crossdressing a lifestyle choice or genetic?

[Nicki B]

I wish people would learn more about biology before thinking about the origins of CDs.

First of all our genes contain instructions on how to build a biological body - they are like construction blueprints. They do not indicate what color a tenant on the 23 floor will paint his room 10 years in the future. Crossdressing has got zip all to do with genetics.
....

Remember all behaviors are common to all humans irregardless of gender. To believe that you need to have a female brain or be genetically different to enjoy normal human behavior is silly. It is only society's rules that makes us believe we are different from others. We are not. Period.

Ah. Thanks for enlightening us... Behaviour has nothing to do with genetics. I obviously just learned to be left-handed, then?

..it is just way too simple to say "crossdressing is genetic." That's like saying that being a carpenter is genetic.

Surely people are saying the causes for cross-dressing (e.g gender dysphoria) may be genetic.

Genes can't make you a carpenter - but they can provide you with the talents to be a good carpenter, or artist, or fast-jet pilot, or mathematician?

They may be the reason why you feel more comfortable wearing clothes of the sex opposite to that you were born with.. But I agree, particularly given the range in which we present, it's highly unlikely that there's just one cause.
