One thing I would add is that in our current social environment where economically sucessful women have more choice in mating partners than ever crossdreamers may in fact have an evolutionary advantage over non-crossdreamers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04791526461654779431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231185021639571421.post-53737710943882501052011-03-06T01:56:58.970-08:002011-03-06T01:56:58.970-08:00Hm.

Happiness aside, it is possible to make the argument that crossdreaming is an evolutionary adaptive strategy. <br /><br />Crossdreamers are often sensitive to the needs of women, and when women look for a steady and kind father for their kids (as opposed to an exciting lover), a crossdreamer may fit the bill. <br /><br />Since most crossdreamers keep their crossdreaming secret (at least at first), many of them get kids. There is no reason to believe that the reproductive rate of crossdreamers is lower than for the male population at large.<br /><br />So, if homosexuality makes evolutionary sense (and even Blanchard believes so), crossdreaming definitely does. Maybe we could be understood as a parallel to Roughgarden's "morphs"?<br /><br />http://www.crossdreamers.com/2009/12/transgender-animals.html<br /><br />The fact is that nature does not adhere to the simplistic struggle for perfection found among most evolutionary scientists. Nature is messy and loves variation -- even us.Jack Molayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03629363646482611722noreply@blogger.com
