A smart psychologist once told me that many men preferred to be women because it seemed less stressful.
Being able to cross dress for a while is indeed calming, especially as you get to enter a desirable and interesting world of new sensations. But that is not being a woman. We cannot walk in a woman's shoes because we are not women and the stress they feel in life cannot truly be experienced by us unless one choses to live as a woman full time. Even then we cannot understand the stress caused by biological rhythms any more than a woman can understand the stresses that come with being a man.
That said the adjustment from being an irresponsible teenager to a responsible adult is great as Jennifer points out and crossdressing is one way to temporarily escape from the day to day stresses.
