Being part of nature we are designed to procreate so how someone thinks and feels is partly shaped by the forces of procreation in their lives and this is true regardless of being heterosexual or homosexual, the urge is there only the target changes.

I have noticed a number of men talk about how they became strongly interested late in life with crossdressing and I wonder if this is due to dropping testosterone levels that than expose the more feminine disposition underneath.

With others the male sex hormones take the feminine disposition and they sexualize the crossdressing.

Remove the sex hormones and the person that was there before puberty emerges.

Any differences in thinking between men and women I would think come from the sex hormones and how they shape the brain during fetal development and than throughout life.

Some men and women are very competitive with their own sex in relationship to the opposite sex while others are not and in my mind this is partly influenced by sex hormones.

Aggression is common to both sexes but different from person to person and once again I think the sex hormones play a role.

I was born with an absence of sex homones and this has clearly shaped my mind where I feel foreign in relationship to most others and do not share in what is commonly valued.

There is a large part of being human from a sexual stand point that was left out of me but this was replaced by something else that seems to be found almost exclusively in women but I have it even more than women and it is thought of as those aspects of nurturing which become very intense in the absence of sex hormones.

Two forms of connectivity, one is sexual and the other is not so in the absence of one the other is greater.

Sex is an undercurrent that influences what we notice, how we act and what we feel and or think. You cannot cut it out of you by choice but when it is not there you experience yourself and others very differently.

I think of it as the difference between emotional tunnel vision that sex causes where you always are being influenced by the sex hormones compared to emotional peripheral vision where you experience everything.

It is a very Zen experience of living without wants but still having the desire to be part of life because you feel connected to everything.

Sex and the experience of gender seem to be separate but yet interrelated where they shape each other yet pull against each other.
