I have come to believe that gender (feminine-masculine-androgynous) should not be too closely tied to sex (male-female). Fundamentally male-femininity is not an anomaly. Its’ just femininity and not particularly a female or male thing but a human thing. On the other hand, being a woman is feminine. therefore being a woman should be natural for the majority of people.
It is masculinity that, as you point out, is physically, spiritually and mentally wearing and even harmful.
Some people think that cross-dressers transition to femininity in order to escape from the rigours of masculinity. That may not be accurate. One may be fleeing the harmful elements of masculinity and escaping to the perfectly natural and rather sane elements of femininity.
Perhaps it is the sanity and ‘normality’ of femininity that make it attractive? And isn’t nice to be attractive?
