A question for those here who identify as male :)

Reine, don't you dare go anywhere!

Lorileah, it's fine that everyone is commenting. I know I'm probably looking at the male identity side as that's my H, but really, everyone has made such fantastic comments here I want to read them all!

And seriously, I've never seen such thoughtful responses. For people who don't understand themselves, you sure do try. That's more than most people in a lifetime. Self reflection in my mind, is one of those things that makes for more compassionate, accepting people. I wish more people would do it.

And after reading through the different answers and thinking about some of them (gender dysphoria, sexuality, curiosity etc) it got me wondering something I think someone here touched on. What about all the other species where the male is the beautiful one? I mean, the male peacock makes Ru Paul look plain and the male lion has better hair than most of the avatars on this forum! I actually had a chat with a member here a while ago about men historically and how wigs, heels, make up, even skirts were worn. For those in the original question, the men here who still identify as men even when presenting as a woman, could this be a simple case of masculine primping?? I don't see why human men are the only species who don't want to look pretty and show off to the females. So is crossdressing for these men really about femininity? Or could it be about being a peacock, strutting your stuff so to speak But, because somewhere along the way, we GG's ended up with the pretty stuff, you're left having to borrow ours?

I hope we didn't steal your gig because that makes me feel bad, lol.

Great, now I've come up with another theory to add to the endless list. I'm starting to like Lorileahs idea that it just is, who cares!

Then again, I also enjoy talking with you all here, and given my propensity to over think everything, chatting here helps keep me sane, and my marriage in one piece
