its interesting for me to read about you all in here..... im a TS and for some reason never really had any desire to wear female clothing..... it seems like you guys attach alot of femininity to the clothing aspect of women, and i guess different people latch onto different focal points of femininity.  i would be perfectly happy to look, act and feel perfectly female and wear a t shirt and jeans, or a futbol jersey or something... in fact id prefer it to a skirt!

also interesting about the dual brain- as for me idk, dont have a second persona, and i dont even have another name for myself... i wonder if it comes from some part of you not wanting to change who you are and another part wanting to be this beautiful and feminine woman....instead of like some of us who just are of one mind but cant live with our physical forms

I think that "not wanting to change who you are" is a gross simplification of what some of us feel.

Hi back,
I suppose the factor of how much femininity each one of us posses and weather brain has formed 50/50 male female or 10/90 male -female is different for each individual. It isn't a question of being a better TG or more appropriate female gender, but rather how much of each do I posses. I am pretty sure some genetic girls have 90/10 male -female brain and hence tomboy aspect of femininity. I am almost sure ( being a scientific natured I must allow possibility of being wrong just about anything :-) each of us possess such balance and as we form our brain gender well in infancy, we get stuck with a ratio. For elementalincognitus, it may be well female balanced, as for me it hangs somewhat in the middle towards femininity. Naturally if one has always believed to be female, she will feel female in what ever she wears or not wear. For those whose brain sex is balanced between sexes need more stimuli to feel other gender overcome. Studies have been performed and observations concluded that young TG children prefer to dress appropriate to their chosen sex and are repulsed by being forced to wear clothing by their born sex. I hope this gives some insight to the discussion.
As always, Love, Alexia.

thats an interesting way to look at it alexia, that everyone has a ratio of masculinity to femininity.  i do think it seems that way with some gg, who think in a masculine way.  i was just commenting on how when i think of myself, my mind or soul or whatever, i dont see it as either masculine or feminine.  like, i know what my body should be, but if i was separated from it, i wouldnt call myself female or male any longer.  in talking to alot of people on this site, both ts and cd, it seems that many mtfs feel female in mind and soul, despite their bodies that they were born with.  if they were separated from their bodies,  most of them would identify as female anyway... make any sense? sorry im rambling
