 @f1c2774e @dabe0ad5 many (if not most) get sexual gratification by dressing like a woman.  I don't think it will last.  I bet within 2 years the novelty will have worn off and they will just be confused.

 @6350630e @dabe0ad5 they've gone beyond that, but yes, I think a lot of it starts out that way.  

It might be kink and they put a flag in the ground, leverage many hours of corporate resources and such, they can't back down.  Same for the parents who can't allow their kid to NOT transition once they get out of the phase.

In SOME cases, that is.

 @f1c2774e @dabe0ad5 I think that for most people ot starts with a kink.  They finally feel sexy when they wear women's clothes even though they are just an unkempt, overweight, pale man.  At least that is what I am seeing in the Pacific NW.  Then they get so much positive feedback that they finally feel like they aren't a fat loser anymore.  So they cling to this little bit of positivity in their life.  

At least it gets them to shave their face and brush their hair, I suppose.

It's a kink that has been allowed.

 @dabe0ad5 @6350630e @f1c2774e A dude who I met through some car events got sucked into this. He is about 20 years younger than me, and has kind of an aimless life. When I met him, he was a regular gay dude who liked cars and guns. Now he's got purple hair, wears garish makeup, and is growing breasts. It's weird.
