With increasing age

Another way to know you are dealing with core identity is that as your sexual energy depletes with age, your cross gender identification if anything will only strengthen. In his attempts to pathologiize transgender people, Ray Blanchard had an explanation for this of course because he needed something for his AGP theory to be true. Thus he cooked up an analogy which states that like a marriage, the love becomes less sexual in nature over time. In other words, you are still driven by aberrant sexuality only that it simply transforms itself.

That wonky science needs to close loose ends need not concern us but as  confirmation we are dealing with identity, we will note that nothing will shake our conviction with increasing age. But if with depleting sexual energy the need for cross gender expression also wanes, then we need to ask ourselves why.
