Uniformity

Why do some women not desire to wear women's clothing? Because there is absolutely no genetic predisposition which says that they must. Much of our expression has traditionally been dictated by society and if one views films or photos from the early 20th century we will note the perfect uniformity to the point of welcoming us to parody it. 

Today that uniformity is fractured and a reflection much closer to reality is on display most notably among youth. Motivations are different as are the presentations themselves where both natal males and females push envelopes to arrive at their own comfort levels. Hiding is no longer a necessity and double lives become increasingly a part of ancient history.

Human beings are an extremely varied bunch and while it might seem easy to invite comparison, the reality is that the more deeply one looks under the surface of each individual, the more we are privy to important details of distinction. Expression and identity are mixed in varying proportions and are modified along the journey of life as needed.

The more I have delved into this subject over the years, the more I take note of the subtleties that make each case unique.
