This has been a fantastic thread and still is... I am amazed at the level of intellectual debate, even if it is at the experience/belief system level. I think that the more we look for some unifying theory for cross-dressing the less helpful it gets. It has been the same in physics for decades. I increasingly fantasise about being w woman in a highly aroused, intense sexual encounter... my head has been everywhere! But does that mean that I should go for GRS? I am sorry, but I am a grandfather and I have relationships that are so so important for me.. I am not that old yet! So I have a big role to fulfil in the lives of my family. And I have lived most of my life as this guy... I know how it works.
If I were to to sex-change now... it may satisfy some aspects of my life, but I would lose so many others, and as we get older the risks get bigger. There are members like Inna who has taken that step and I am in awe of her, partly because I am not that 'brave'... So to Kaitlyn... I love the arguements you present... I can empathise, but I am just not into this black and white theory that some people want to dictate. The bulk of the scientific evidence is based on flawed work from years ago, and is based on the premise that CDing and/or gender dysphoria is a medical condition... I think the medical profession have finally accepted that the 'gay world' is not a medical condition... it is only recently in the UK that they have stopped treating pregnancy as a medical condition and regarding a pregnant mum as a patient!
