I have to fall in with Beverley. I read your post. I have read other articles slanted to the layman for easier reading. After analyzing all the information thrown at me over the decades I still cannot see any model that fits all. Why do I do what I do? It's still a firm I have no idea. I consider myself a plain vanilla cross dresser. I think your comment concerning a near death experience may be applicable to many people. Such experiences seem to, but not always, change a person's perception of his or her values living life. Does a near death experience cause someone to engage in activities of self gratification before it's too late? Get those dresses out of the back of the closet? Buy that sports car? Take the trip around the world? Drop out from society? Or, engage in activities helping those who are less fortunate? The waters for me remain muddy.
