I enjoyed reading the paper. It does make me wonder whether there is a hormonal homeostasis for a third or androgynous gender. If there is such a thing, I think that would be the ideal parameters for me.
Misty,
Yeah, it would be nice if some of the effects of pm are permanent.

I seem to be doing this a lot during the last few days. I think taking pm again can help my mental status. However, being able to run like I haven't in the last year or more means an awful lot to me as well.

I've been wondering if/when my crossdressing urges would return during this cold turkey period. So far they haven't really. I'm not sure why this is the case though. Maybe my GD manifests itself differently than yours?
Perhaps one of us should create a thread about the most common withdrawal symptoms when a bio-male is going cold-turkey from NBE herbs?

I'm also experiencing a return of the "I want to look like her" feelings when I see attractive women. The idea of crossdressing is related to those feelings (I find myself admiring women's outfits and desiring to emulate the look).

Huh, that's interesting. Those feeling have never gone away for me despite all that I take. My wife and I went shopping Friday evening looking for clothes that express my feminine side ie. male section but with female flare or female section but tom boyish. I came home depressed, full of envy of the female physique, the wide array of clothing they get to choose from and the fact that I'll probably never be able to look even "pretty good" compared to genetic females. It's always been that way for me and I'm afraid no amount of PM, spearmint, SP or pharma estrogen will overpower that.

It's disheartening to hear you're stuck in a rut with GD. Do herbal and pharma estrogens help at all to take the edge off of your depression? If not hormones I hope there is an alternative to help you feel at least a little better.
