Are these the real issues? LOL.Originally Posted by Katie B
1. The %age is impossible to ever quantify because of secrecy and guilt and the fact that nobody can even agree what constitutes crossdressing.
2. I believe 75% of all CDs recognize their condition between the ages 8-13. For 10% it does not manifest itself until well into adulthood. Early TG behavior is likely to be either TS or innocent child play
3. Severe mindwashing techniques have been shown to work. Homosexuals have been trained to feel physically sick at the idea of gay sex.
So the theory is already shot down in flames with its own words as how do you then explain FTMs?There is no similar phenomenon in women.
Also if we are all born with feminized brains then we would expect to see CDs showing feminine tendencies early on and consistantly right throughout their childhood. In most cases the opposite is the case, there is a normal male upbringing with no interest in the feminine until later childhood when the desire suddenly raises its head. This is completely inconsistent with the idea that we were born with a female "gender map"
It should be pointed out that the causes behind TS and CD are almost certainly quite different from one another so although the two groups share the same predicament and feelings, the causation factors are not shared. TS is a gender identity issue while CD is a gender role issue.
