As you might imagine I too have done a great deal of introspection and

Have done alot of formal academic study on it, have known alot of
transwomen, and have done a helluva lot of self examination.

I would say that there is no "one size fits all", but one does see some
recurring themes.

Why not write a book about the subject ? You might want to recruit one or two collaborators, perhaps someone from medicine or psychology -- if you know someone who is both credible and sympathetic.

Before publishing, let a wide audience of people who know a fair amount about the subject, including other TGirls, help proofread it and provide feedback to improve the content. Then publish it.

I think we need a good book on what makes TGirls tick and what their lives are like in the USA. If it's well written it could change some minds and shatter some myths.

Funny you say that.

I love to write, and do indeed know folks in academia who are versed on GID.

The one problem is that I wouldn't want the book to be auto-biographical,
want to protect my anonymity. Thus I'd most likely write a book on
transsexualism and transgenderism in general.

However, I have wriiten about five chapters of a fictionalized auto-biography,
may revisit it and continue working on it.

It is really interesting to hear the various opinions of the site members. It seems we all have varying perspectives on the feminine forms we admire. This is the discourse that makes me feel there is truth in all our perspectives but our own truth is ultimately the only thing that should matter. Thanks for sharing Ladies & Gentlemen!;)

So I would agree on the point that their "mindset isn't usually that of a woman".

Taking the Proper hormone regiments brings about changes to both the mental and physical aspects of a person. Some of the tg's shun hormones so they can escort, and allow that physical aspect to flourish (i.e. hard cock, creamy nut) so it would also stand to reason that the mental aspect (to a degree) would also remain more testosterone driven.

This is amazing. I actually agree with everything you wrote! There is hope, even for you, Remy!! ;)

Male hormones cause pure aggression. Whether the subject is male or female. Bodybuilders and powerlifters on high doses of testosterone fight a constant battle to not lose control of their dark side.
Now the average male's body normally produces roughly 100 times the testosterone that a genetic female's does, so it stands to reason that a normal, hormonally unenhanced male will have the potential to be far more aggressive than a genetic woman.
Female bodybuilders taking male hormones immediately start to change mentally, becoming more aggressive and combative in nature, traits that may be considered more male.
