Tinkerbell,
Excellent question. My theory is they are out there in nearly equal numbers. But they currently have the advantage of being able to wear clothes in public to satisfy their gender identity's needs, even if they may not understand why. They may not have needed to work as hard to suppress this need to display some or a lot masculinity. Think about all the Tomboys you might know or know of.
Now I'm a person, with a male body, who wears a mixture of men's and women's clothes to satisfy my gender identity. I do tend to stand out in public and I'm known by society as a CD, cross-dresser.
But what if I had a female body and had GIN, gender identity needs? I would wear female and male clothes to satisfy my gender identity. I might be know as a Tomboy by society, and more than likely blend to a great extent.
The facts are we do not know the why some males and females get GID. I don't know if Tomboys have the same characteristics as a CD, that they must wear some male clothing for their GIN or have gender dysphoria. We do know this gender identity issue happens in males & females and it does happen to great and lesser degrees. And there are examples of this through out history in both males and females.
So I personally don't think this is just a male thing because of the usage of the words cross-dresser.![]()
