I don't know if there is any one single thing that "Caused" me to become a cross dresser. Nor even there is such a thing? I've always been drawn toward the feminine side, women, femininity etc. I've always acquiesced toward women and femininity even as a young child and as far back as I can remember.

But in the "real world" where I was forced and compelled to live in my day-to-day existence, its was the "Need" to acquiesce toward the societal, cultural, and religious "Norms" that were thrust upon me in heavy handed fashion all most on a daily basis. Thus in the name of self preservation? I subscribed to the social, cultural, and religious "norms" as defined to me?

What is considered and taken for "normal" is probably heavily skewed toward nefarious intents by which and that have very little to do with being a "real man" OR a "real woman. Indeed in doing so is driven more by profit and the all mighty dollar as anything else.

What the difference between a pair of "Boy Shorts" and a pair of "Tighty-Whihty Men's cotton briefs? One is sold in the women's section of Walmart and costs about 80% more and the other in the men's department and cost about 80% less? And Oh yea the latter has that arrangement for your privates which I've never understood the need for?
