Miglior citazione da Am I Gay? Crossdressing and Sexual Identity

Gender expression and sexual attraction operate on completely different psychological pathways. When someone puts on clothes that make them feel good, that's about identity, comfort, or artistic expression—it's not about who they want to sleep with.
