Hi Randi,

Just more food for thought... Is it just enjoying the feel of the fabric, or is a feminine identity hardwired in our brains?

A European study was published earlier this year which used MRT to visualize the action of the brain in males and females and they found distinct differences between the genders. Then they looked as men and women who were transgendered, and found that their neural network was somehow between typical male and female images. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0107082133.htm

For reasons the researchers could only speculate, our brains are hardwired to be part male and part female. Somehow our brain are hardwired to interpret crossdressing as actual contact with a female and when we crossdress we experience sensations of well-being, pleasure, comfort, sexual gratification and bonding affecting the reward centers of our brain. The "normal" population does not get it. So, in a sense our brains are special, part male and part female. I believe there is a wide spectrum here, and personally I view myself as at least 80% male. Everyone is unique. You just need to understand your own comfort zone.
