Wow, your entire post is really enlightening and honestly, you should write a book about this stuff! I think many a wife would read it and feel empowered to understand all this. The quote above really hit home for me as this is my H. He WORSHIPS women. He thinks we can't do any wrong and that females are the most beautiful humans alive. As his wife, I think he's nuts, lol. I know plenty of females who do wrong every day and I sure don't put women on a pedestal. I actually find many are really annoying. My H doesn't understand this!. And you're right...it's like he's trying to capture something that he wants to fully possess but doesn't know how. He apparently never feels like a female when dressed, and the visual woman he creates turns him on and makes him happy. He basically wants a woman who will do what he wants when he wants and who is literally under his skin. This is the ultimate in worship, isn't it?
I think many who post here feel quite differently than this though, as I think TS is possibly quite common here? Even the way many write their posts here; it's like a fellow GG writing. I sense a kinship with women more than worship. I sometimes have to remind myself that I'm actually chatting to men and when I remember this, I freak out a little, lol.
Anyway, on a side note, I read something the other week that mentioned the male identified crossdresser is actually more masculine in appearance when crossdressed than not. Male features often stand out more in female clothing than male, and really, this can be true. Apparently (and this is just what I read!) many quietly enjoy this outcome as they KNOW they're male and that's pretty much the point - accentuating the gender/sex difference. I'd guess this is largely a sexual dresser thing. On the other side, I'd bet a trans CD would hate to be reminded of their masculinity (because it doesn't exist!) so surely that's the BIG difference, and this answers the OP's original question: People transition because they're correcting what is essentially a birth defect. These things can't be ignored - if the options are there to fix the defect...why wouldn't you?!
Always interesting topics here![]()
