Ok, we do use the trappings that are normally associated with woman (well, many of us do, not all of us) but that seems to me to be an extension of the mental process, not the other way around.

For me, it's the mindset that makes Tina. I'm not sure that was true in the very early days, but it certainly is now. I'd have to have made the mental transition even before I could use a Femskin suit, much the way Tina shows up before she gets dressed.

So, at least for me this is a mental process that falls into the category of "a rose by any other name".
