No, I don't know what it takes to be a woman. And of course it's not easy--nor is being a man, which is what I have to struggle with every second. "Being" a woman truly involves (in part) things like pregnancy and cramps. No thanks to either. I think I dress because I love women's clothes the same way some women do, and maybe fashion designers do. When I dress, I feel "This is right. This is me." No doubt there is more to it than that, but please don't begrudge us our love of things feminine, even if we don't know "what it takes" to be female.
